What do you do when you are being asked to do three jobs at once? The tasks of two vacancies in your team (my responsibility) and another director who has left the organisation. One can’t do it all, yet, as a people pleaser especially with more senior people, I find myself saying yes to more and more.
So, I’ve spent the weekend working. I’ve not been to CrossFit, I’ve not done my morning routine. I’m starting to feel a lesser version of myself.
But, I have interviewed some great people and hope to fill some vacancies, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Sometimes our lives make it harder to do the things that are good for us. I am not beating myself up, I am paying for a gym that I’m not using, not ideal but it’s not forever. I’m not wrong for dropping my morning routine because I need to be at work for 12 hours which limits my family and me-time significantly, again, it’s temporary. This is life, I love it, sometimes it’s a bit more of a struggle, but in a few months when those 3 people are back in place, I will be able to appreciate what I am capable of and what it feels like to have a great team.
What challenge are you facing that you will be able to mentally ‘thank’ in the future?
