Indecision

5 PM, looking at my email, my to do list (of which writing in this blog is one of the "to dos") wondering what to do next when I'd really rather just call it a day, go home and have a glass of wine. Don't you find yourself doing that sometimes? Having a debate with yourself over doing just one more task or heading for the showers knowing that if you do, there is going to be that one voice in your head saying "you're a slacker, you're a loser, what are you doing going home!" I sincerely dislike that voice.

So, what do you do? I say, strike a bargain. Resist the urge to call it quits and do just one more thing. (Hence, my blog entry.) Make one more call. Run one more mile, (or to the next mail box) and then experience the reward of satisfaction for having done so. Given the choice, I'd say that I generally feel much better, happier, lighter, at the end of the day when I push beyond my resistance and do a little more than I think I can or think I want to.

Although, my husband would probably vote for resisting that urge to do just one more thing at 6 PM and, instead, come home. Nice to have someone at home that wants you to be home too. Thank you, honey. It's a balance. I'm on my way.
