Today was fairly busy. Grocery shopping this morning, followed by a green-bin worth of weeding & digging over the revealed section of the vege garden, mowing lawns, tidying the woodshed (first pass anyway), knocked my RSS backlog back down to size.
Read a book (read another one last night and another the night before as it happens, practically unheard of). Watched some TV. Washed the dishes.
It's all been quite relaxing, except...
Feeling guilty about not-doing a particular work-related which is turning over in my head. This particular task is documentation which they would probably be just as happy if I didn't do, but dammit. It needs doing. And the project it needs doing for is expected to happen in an ... unrealistically short timeframe.
This documentation might just still be incubating, I'm not sure. But I know that time is slipping by. and I hate feeling that I've put something off out of what might be laziness or simple aversion.
And I hate that feeling of impending doom - pre-emptive-stress - that comes with waiting for clarification on deadlines set by people with no comprehension of the work to be done.

time and stress saving.

you will be amazed how relaxed you become.
Also, where possible, get home things done before work things, you will enjoy work more knowing all the home things are sorted.
