Get Things Done
Two weeks in, and I am suffering from the ever increasing workload that causes that deep anxious feeling in the pit of your stomach. Oddly, none of this is due to my inability to plan or manage my time - its due to the inbound workload increasing due to a variety of reasons.

As I cannot improve the abilities of those upstream to plan their time and interfaces to me better, I must learn to manage the anxiety of having lots to do. This is difficult to do for me, as I am the type of person who wants to do well for others. So never wanting to let someone down, and having so much to do, pretty much leads to scope creep into life.
But not in 2010. In 2010, I am on top, and life is the priority. So frankly, now I've written about it, I won't worry about it anymore. Live life in day-tight compartments.
