This week – like many others – has been a blur.
I love the work I do, and usually, feel on top of my game. To quote my friend Lynette, “Large and in Charge!” 🙂
Something that can derail my peace and happiness is someone else’s last-minute problems becoming mine.
I can handle it, and often do. See, I started my working days as an Admin Assistant and worked my way up. In that role, you wear many hats, get used to juggling knives and quickly finding answers to multiple inquiries. Those skills have never left me {thank God!} but – when another’s lack of effort becomes a big hairy mess for me to manage- I can do it but often find it then ruins my momentum and steals my joy.
So what I do is this ~ I remove one letter from the word ruin: that letter is “i.” When I turn ruin into run – I’m back – Large and In Charge – just like that.
What tricks do you use to manage your stress and work load? Can you relate to “Large and In Charge?”
