(or: My Attempt to Write a Post Under 1000 words)
I will try to be short because I am short on time. I’m sure you are too.
There have been many jobs in my life where there are not enough minutes in the hours to complete what I need get done but rarely have I felt that when not working for someone else. I find myself now in that blissful state.
Yes, it is frustrating and overwhelming and fatiguing. It is also invigorating, motivating and satisfying.
I have entirely too much to do
How much better than the alternative is that? Instead of sitting around, listless and dull, we can have 20 projects to work passionately on. Ok, doing taxes maybe not so much on the gets-my-fires-stoked scale but they all can’t all be soul a’light experiences.
The project due date, the 46 open browser tabs, the writing deadline, the huddle, stack of books, chat, email, artistic project, self imposed deadline in an hour — make that 54 minutes– all of them vying for attention in the crowded stage of our minds.
The cacophony is grand.
