For those of us transitioning into new jobs, the "busy" meter seems to crank up a notch. I thought I was busy before!
My daughter reminds me to think about the busy mother who works full time, goes to classes at night, and helps her three kids with homework.
Whether you are currently busy or not, chances are that you know someone busier than you are. Does this encourage you to keep going when your energy level is diminishing? It certainly keeps me from complaining about my full life.
If I could offer encouragement to every busy person, it would be this: find time to play.
We can't constantly perform well with our metaphorical meters cranked up to their highest levels all of the time.
What does play look like for you?
A book, a bath, a walk at the zoo? Time with friends or time alone? Whatever it is, be sure that you schedule an appointment for play, and keep it as if it were an appointment for a performance review with your new boss.
