My relationship with work and rest

I am catching up with posting online my articles.


Yesterday I have realized that although I do not have a partner in this moment in my life I am in a relationship. And then I also realized that my relationship is actually not balanced at all.

If you have read my yesterday's article then you know that I realized that I am in an unbalanced relationship with work and rest and this unbalanced state shapes my life in a certain way.

So how I have entered into the unbalanced phase of my relationship with work and rest ?

Well... about 3 years ago I started to take on myself some responsibilities and commitments. But then there came a moment in my life when one element ( daily work ) required more attention and then I started to have problems with keeping up with other responsibilities.

In the beginning I thought that this is temporary but then this temporary thing turned into permanent thing and thus I started to face the growing mountain of responsibilities awaiting its completion. But because I could not do it in my daily working hours so I started to dedicate some hours of my rest to do my work. And so I started to go to bed late at night. I reduced the time which I spend in the nature ( beach, mountains etc. ) to get some more time to do my tasks waiting in the queue.

But then I made another big, big, big mistake. Before completing all the jobs which were awaiting in the queue I started to take on myself other responsibilities and it all became overwhelming. And because there was no more possibilities to do any cuts and finding extra time to cope with these responsibilities then I found myself in the situation when I was working constantly at high revs and at my limits without having proper rest.
