Day 47 (Tues - 2/16)

Only two days of work this week and already I am feeling overwhelmed. Actually I am feeling ineffective; disorganized; and am struggling with delegation. I recognize that I am hitting a phase in my career where I stop being the one actually doing the work and start becoming the person looked to in order to “get things done” by my staff/team/etc. This process is not without pain and I am no exception to the process. It is a positive that I am going through it, but change feels like… well sometimes if feels like that first run, it hurts like hell.

I stopped in to see my manager to discuss these items (ineffective, disorganized, and delegation) and asked if I could set up a meeting to discuss methods used by others in our organization who seem to have it together in these respects. She said that would not be a problem, however, her feedback indicated that she felt I was being too hard on myself.

I got out of work late and tried to keep thing at home moving toward getting the house in order. Essentially what we are doing is transforming our office upstairs into our kiddo’s room; moving the office downstairs; and keeping bedroom 3 open for the buggette when she arrives.
