Calm Before the Storm
There’s a fine line between controlled organization and overwhelming chaos.
Recently it’s become easier for me to slip from the former to the latter. The smallest inconvenience – whether it be an addition to my routine or something that didn’t go my way – can send me into a whirlwind of confusion and panic.
Normally I can prevent this panic and balance on the organized side of things. But recently I’ve opened the door to commitments that only make my situation worse. Overwhelmed by these commitments, my mind thinks I’m the victim of a chaotic schedule.
Looking back at it, I’m far from the victim. My life is only as busy as I make it, and it tends to be more chaotic than not because I crave productivity. What I’ve realized is that I must take the initiative to weed out things that cause chaos and leave myself with those that really matter.
