I like order and simplicity in my life.

Then weeks like the last one come along. There’s an avalanche of work to do. And I can either choose to get the key things done, or to be organized. But not both.

I had to consciously choose to focus this week. To ignore the mounting piles of email. To ignore the stacked up voice mails. To ignore the task list with 38 overdue things on it.

I had to let go of order and simplicity, put my head down and get something done, which finally got wrapped up last night.

And while it didn’t feel good during that process, it sure feels good to have finished scaling the mountain.

Enjoy your weekend while I try to return some things back to order.
