Sometimes I “bend over backwards” waaaaay too far. I’m sure you do it too — both at home and in the workplace. I have a conference call scheduled for 8:15 AM EST (less than 7 hours from right now) and I have the big eye. WHY did I agree to accept a business call before business hours? I’m never, EVAH up at 8:15 AM, but tomorrow today, I will be.
The scariest part is I’ll be expected to be “on my game”, and I figure I’ll be lucky if I can achieve coherent. I truly believe that “bending over backwards” is the biggest contributor to burn-out. This is the last time I’m going to agree to something even remotely like this. Maybe.
My only hope lies in the equalizer. Wish me luck!
