Time seems to go from one extreme to the other here. Days of waiting, for meetings, for discussions, for work, for electricity, for lunchtime. And then there are times where everything comes at once: days where my diary becomes full of immediate to-do lists, it’s a struggle to balance activities and deadlines, and to find ways to catch and channel the increase in momentum to ensure that long-awaited tasks are completed.The busy times are the preferred ones. They can be overwhelming on occasion, particularly– as now – when they coincide with significant changes happening within the organisation I work for. But, it is much to be better to be doing and thinking and working than whiling the day away. There’s only so much planning one can do, after all, before the ideas must be put into action. And, also importantly, there’s only so much Googling one can handle, before running out of search terms of interest. Busyness is definitely a positive.
