@sarahlotus28: So...you wake up and there’s already a list. And then somehow by the time you’ve ended your day, the list is longer than when you started. And it’s not even the list. It’s the ten other things sitting in the back of your head that you haven’t touched yet, that just follow you around all day, that show up again at bedtime when you’re finally going to sleep. We’re wearing so many hats. All of us. All the time. And I feel like multitasking just became the norm and honestly we were never taught to question it - we just accepted it as what hardworking adults do. But that leads to burnout. And burnout leads to a nervous system that can’t regulate itself anymore. And then you’re too depleted to do the very things on the list that got you here. It’s a loop. I didn’t learn this the gentle way. I had to stop completely. And what I know now is that no amount of to-do lists is worth it. Everything else CAN WAIT.
