Walking in Circles

As you're well aware, folks today lead busy lives. We have become a generation of multitaskers. And we've had to, out of necessity. Employers have always been, and now employees, if they want to make themselves valuable to a company, are also called upon to do a little juggling. At times, life gets so chaotic, from over scheduling, from others demands, and top it off with our daily grind, and sometimes we're puzzled as to which leg goes into which pant leg first. When you feel a little overwhelmed, it seems you're walking in circles, and not sure what to do next. Of course, there has been studies, (someone needed a job, and decided to ask for grant money), and the studies reveal all sorts of maladies one may suffer from extended periods of multitasking. So the people most concerned about our health, are telling us to slow down. The rest of the world wants to know if we can add one more task in our spare time. Hmmm, attempt to make 80% of the people happy 50% of the time, or focus, and try to make 50% of the people happy 80% of the time? OK, time to shift gears. Have you ever had such a busy week, by the end of the week your eyes were not even pointing in the same direction? Then finally the weekend, and you have barely anything planned? All of a sudden, there is, what is sometimes referred to as 'me time'? I worked my tail off all week, got things bandaged up, and ready for Monday, but what am I supposed to do for the next 48 hours? If I don't think of something, I'm going to end up walking in circles for the whole weekend. It appears, walking in circles is a pattern I follow for a large amount of my life. I guess I need to be conscious of this, and when the work week is over, at least have the presence of mind to change directions.
