rest

Recently I experienced the detrimental effects of a lack of sleep. Through work stress, deadlines and family things, I was waking up several times in the middle of the night every night for over two weeks. Then I’d go to work early to work on personal projects. When work starts it’s “Go! Go! Go!” withContinue reading “Rest”

R&R 2

In R&R, I wrote that I was transitioning between jobs. At the time of writing, I was six months into the job and I’d hit a wall. The timing of my holiday was perfect.

Overwork

It turns out there is such a thing as working too much. I think I have finally found my limit. I am at a crossroads. If I continue down this path I fear it will break me. Mentally or physically. I can already see the cracks forming. When you are inundated with stress and/or lackContinue reading “Overwork”
