Sometimes I put too much on my plate because I get stuck in the tyranny of the urgent. Someone else needs something immediately. I jump to meet their needs.
I have discovered that when I say I am “too busy” for something, it means that I have not prioritized time for it. Rather than say, “I’m too busy!” it’s more honest for me to say, “You know, I just have not prioritized that particular thing high enough on my list right now to allow me to complete it.”
I think this blog fell into
that category. I was just not prioritizing it over the last many months. It is
okay. I was engaged in other things like quilting and visiting friends and
family. We don’t have to engage in every
hobby, career-building activity or social engagement all the time. We are allowed seasons. We don’t have to try
to do everything at once.
As I struggle to
re-prioritize, it helps me when I measure
the current event against the long-term goal. I find myself backsliding, too,
into the urgent demands that tempt me to displace what is important. It’s an
ongoing journey.
