It's ages since last we chatted and I am absolutely amazed about that simple fact but, and it's a huge but, things just seem to get in the way of my writing to you!
One becomes so busy....I mean rather, one allows one's self to take on too many activities and, wham bam, suddenly, one is being run ragged simply trying to cope with all one wants to do; you know what I mean, don't you?
Actually, it's very engaging having too much to do, because there's simply no time to be bored or feel at a lose end. Of course, things can and do hot up, and then it's too much. However, organisation is the key to coping with too much so just keep your desk tidy and reports and diaries written up, receipts tallied and figures meticulously recorded, and all will be well!
I have observed that people like to talk up their activities - I've probably done a bit of that myself in my younger days - and now it seems to be the preserve of today's younger element to enlarge upon their "need-to-do" list.
What they need to understand and act on is the simple idea of simply getting on with whatever it is that needs to be done......taking on less, so they cope better with what absolutely needs to be done ....the ability to accept that no-one may be interested in all and sundry which comes along - I mean, there simply isn't enough time available to anyone, ever.!
It's like newspapers. I love having the weekend newspapers to read and eagerly buy them, flip through them for particularly apt and interesting articles for later reading, and then don't read them until much later in the week - or even later sometimes.
Quite often such material is left hanging around for ages, suffering the fate of general clutter, and thrown out randomly with household stuff!
This last week I've been on Garden Leave.......!
