Today is a busy day. A horribly busy day. Tomorrow at work we are having a big event which we anticipate will help boost the business. Today we prepare for it physically while trying to complete our work. I have been so swamped with so many different things that I haven't had the chance to catch up with stuff I have felt I needed to get done. Today I am going to try and complete that all. But that's my task. My task is realizing that my goals of the day are not about me but rather they need to be about me paying attention of the needs of others.
With today being so busy, (as well as other days like today), I often lose site of what others needs around me...and most specifically Jeff's needs. I tend to work on adrenaline and expect others to do the same around me. Today I need to look at the fact that not everyone works on the same sense or energy (or sometimes lack there of) as I do. So today I am going to slow down for the people that I need to slow down for and speed up for the people that I need to speed up for. Today I am going to make sure that the people with needs around me have their needs met but also prioritize what needs to be prioritize.
It's not that I am going to push things back and forgot things. No, I want to get things done, I just know that I have to prioritize which things must be done today while gathering time for those who need that time and needs me to slow down.
So, this probably sounds confusing. But it makes all the sense in the world to me. (Plus I have ten thousand things running through my head that I need to do.) Off to work I go to start the craziness.
I guess the important thing is that you sure have lots to do at work, which means that your job is secure. It's when there is actually nothing to do, but you still are there for 8 hours. You know there are too many people working there, so you just wait to see who goes out the door.
