2022 has for me so far been a year of discovering what does not work for me. Stress is one of those things. Simply put, if it seems like the world is running too fast, it might just be in my head. And if it’s not just in my head, it’s futile to try to keep up with it anyway. And maybe, just maybe (this might just be the height of wishful thinking, but who cares?) the world will slow down to allow me to catch up ;). Because I don't think that the current situation is making anyone happy.
Because it has become just as much a cliché to point out that we are living too fast, as it is to always be busy. So I’m not going to do that. Instead, I’m going to take a look at my stress and what I can do differently about it. Because I’ve lived with a lot of stress. I still live with it. And so far, it’s not making me happy and I feel that there is a better way to get more things done, while feeling less pain and getting more out of life.
The first thing I’ve noticed is that when I just try to get as much as possible done in as little time as possible, I don’t do things in a smart way, I rush and have to correct errors for sloppy work afterwards. This also means that I’m not very effective. It’s much easier to give in to mindless stuff when you’re tired and try to whip yourself to do work. Finally, I also sooner or later crash, causing even more loss of time. Which is also time where I don’t totally relax, since I feel guilty while I’m taking it.
