I am being pulled in different directions simultaneously
(And that is a usual work day for me)
I think I can handle it all, this is an occurrence frequent
I should be adept at multitasking, at being present
For the smorgasbord of decisions that need to be made
But I get flustered, stumble as I try to wade
Through the muddy waters of complex decisions
That are quite subjective, with a low degree of precision
*
With too many decisions when I am faced
It often gets impossible for me to place
Them in the right order of priority
With that comes a hit to my efficiency
Which leaves me profoundly dissatisfied
I feel like I’ve failed despite having tried..
*
One such day I felt overwhelmed completely
The next step to take I just could not see
In the midst of this decision paralysis I walked away
Stepped outside in the sun to enjoy the beauty of the day
Felt rejuvenated and then returned
To work with renewed vigor, here was a lesson learned
*
There is a lot to do that can be frustrating
When I get overwhelmed I am now educating
Myself to take a moment to regain
My composure, so that I remain
Focused when and where I need to be
I’m learning to step away and get clarity..
Passion...unbridled
