clockwork

something I've just become aware of with returning to school is that I get very tunnel-visioned and day-to-day focused when it comes to coursework, project deadlines, etc. I focus on what absolutely needs to get done in a given day and lose sight of the larger items (e.g., family, friends, cleaning of domicile). It's not good, for sure, but it's the coping mechanism that naturally develops.

As I was thinking about this today, in fact just moments after the realization, I passed a flier for a seminar discussing Work/Life balance. Ha. I briefly thought that I should attend, given the timeliness of seeing the flier, but I had to go work on a paper.
