This plate and my plate feel the same right now. When you have an empty plate and think of all of the things that you wanna eat, it can be hard to decide how much of which food to place where. When you start placing food on the plate, you choose your portion sizes with what you have yet to fix in mind. A little food here, a lot of something there, and before you know it your plate if full and you haven’t even gotten to the main course. You can’t grab an extra plate, you have no more room on your current plate, if you throw the steak over the top of it all you look ridiculous, so what do you do? Dropping the food analogy, I find it best to give one issue or one task a strong, focused burst of attention so that I can actually remove an item completely from my (plate) to-do list. Trying to do 5 things at once is VERY stressful and isn’t even that effective.
I am at a place today where I feel like I have 7 appetizers on my plate (get car battery replaced, take other car in to see why its check-engine light is on, work on the website, send in a proposal, prepare for important meetings, etc., etc.) and haven’t even gotten to the main course. Nonetheless, these things must be done and if I neglect them, I’ll still have to pay!
Pray for me today and I will pray for you. Stay focused and get some things completed.
