Are We Doing Too Much?

Leading on from the last entries comes this age old question - Are We Doing Too Much? And from that, are we not satisfied if we're not overloaded with the pressures of work, friends, family and 'me time'?

Today I had an extremely productive lunch hour. I didn't do one bit of 'work', rather spent the time planning trips, booking theatre tickets and organising events - all of those fun things you wish you could be doing with your assigned eight (if you're lucky!) working hours in a day.

And yet, I was still going at a hundred miles an hour. I'm exhausted. What's worse though is I ran out of time to actually get out of the office (and today was one of only a handful of warm summer days so far - what was I thinking!)

Its time to slow down - not put pressure on ourselves to have everything now! Go outside and enjoy what is around you and take 30mins a day to unwind. Read a book, listen to your ipod. Just get outside and be thankful for what you have now, right in this moment!

Its a hard lesson for a Gen Yer to learn - but yes, there is time to fit it all in!
