I can relate. I let stuff pile up then I take care of the stuff I feel like taking care of or not. or i take care of the stuff I HAVE to take care of or not. Sometimes I freak out about what I have to do and sometimes I do not.
I've working for work at a nice pace accomplishing things in at a speed thats keeping my sanity not to fast not to slow. I'm sure too slow for them but I dont care. well today things have reved up I've been bugged by people on all sides the pressures on again and i'm freaking out. I just want to get back to working on what i was working on and getting it done in my own time.
For me? getting things done in my own time frame works best with little input from the outside. This just doesnt work well for those around me it seems everyone wants everything right now. I dont prefer to operate like that it stresses me out too much.
