Hi Roni,

I totally know what you mean. I, too, find myself looking at the big picture way to often. It’s overwhelming!! I told myself when this school year started (I work in education) that I would make it a point to focus on TODAY..not tomorrow or next month. When I focus on the long-term, I find myself feeling defeated even before I get started. It’s crazy and I know I do this to myself!! There will always be a list of things to do. If we just take one day at a time, I think we’ll be saner and happier for it.

Yes, why can’t we focus on the trees and not the forrest. I know exactly what you mean… every time I get overwhelmed… I really do try to concentrate on each task otherwise… it paralyzes me. I’m glad you’re doing beter. As for packing… just do what you can, when you can…

Wow. You are not alone. It is interesting how this feeling is so common right now. I think you nailed the feeling for so many people. I tend to focus on the big picture all the time and then I forget to focus and enjoy the little things (like time with my wife and boys, cooking a good meal, going for a run or the gym). I agree with Rebeca, it is reassuring to know that we are not alone. Thanks.

I too had a meltdown yesterday so it was nice to read this post on my google reader right before bed. I am a full time student, full time employee, wife, and really trying to get a handle on my weight and training for my first run. Sometimes the best answer is to do NONE of the things that are begging for your attention. Great post!

Oh good… I was feeling so bad. I really did love this, I’ve had those moments A LOT this week, and that quote is incredible!

As usual, you honesty really helps us (well, at least me) to know that the feelings we have are normal and we’re NOT alone!
