Let me (not) work faster..

Time is a precious commodity and in short supply

Therefore every hack to save time I try to apply

To my daily routine, be intentional with every move

I am constantly thinking of ways to improve

The length of time I take to complete any task

Hoping that in the glory of leisure time I would bask

One evening, when all my chores are completed satisfactorily

I would sit back and relax, read and sip my tea..

*

At completing tasks fast I have acquired considerable skill

Yet I seem to have more and more work to fill

The finite amount of time I possess

The imaginary leisure time over which I obsess

I have never found, work fills it up in some way

I don’t feel that productive but I am working all day…

*

I am tired of pushing myself constantly

To complete work faster, no benefit I see

To my well-being by being on this hamster wheel

Therefore today I have decided to steal

A few moments of leisure in the midst of my chores

I am sitting down with a cup of tea, I am not going to think any more

About work until I am relaxed and completely satisfied

With this little break, quite hard I have tried

To place work above my needs, but I have lost

A sense of balance, and incurred a heavy cost

To my physical, mental and emotional wellness

But now I am determined to reverse this process..
