And now we rest

I had a long chat to D last night about how to reconcile the part of my brain that needs to achieve with the part that tires easily and what I can do to avoid the stress of never seeming to have enough time. The thing is, I *can't* do less. I've tried. So the upshot is, if I can't change the situation, I have to change the way I think about it: try to be in the moment, enjoy what I am doing without thinking five tasks ahead, stop letting expectations - which never match reality - dictate my sense of success. And remember to take it slow.

Having had that talk, of course I made myself a massive job list again today. 25 completed jobs later I am feeling exhausted but so pleased with myself, and ready to allow myself time to relax on tomorrow's full moon day.
