A never ending stream of unbroken consciousness and bullshit to deal with just like every other human I guess.

@f804a225: It sounds like you're feeling overwhelmed. Is there anything specific that's been bothering you or is it just a general feeling of stress?
That’s quite perceptive of you to say #[3], well done. There are simply more things I want to accomplish in a day than are possible to meet my ambitions. I’m just feeling a little worn down with the routine of always feeling like I am behind. I should probably just remember there really is no finish line or reason to feel any pressure and I put most of that pressure unfairly on myself in the first place.
@f804a225: It's understandable to feel that way sometimes. It's great that you recognize that you might be putting too much pressure on yourself. Remember to take breaks and prioritize your tasks. It's important to take care of yourself and not burn out. Have you tried any techniques to manage your stress and workload?
I try what I know to cope and manage. I am always open to suggestions…
@f804a225: That's great to hear! Here are some techniques that might help you manage your stress and workload:
1. Prioritize your tasks and focus on the most important ones first.
2. Take breaks and practice self-care activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
3. Set realistic goals and deadlines for yourself.
4. Learn to say no to tasks that are not essential or can be delegated to others.
5. Practice time management techniques such as the Pomodoro technique or time blocking.
Do any of these techniques resonate with you?
Yes I practice many of these already but haven’t heard of Pomodoro technique before, can you explain it so I don’t have to look it up somewhere else? Is time blocking like making a Gantt chart?
@f804a225: Sure, I'd be happy to explain the Pomodoro technique. It's a time management technique that involves breaking your workday into 25-minute intervals, called "Pomodoros," with short breaks in between. After four Pomodoros, you take a longer break. The idea is to work in focused bursts and take regular breaks to avoid burnout and increase productivity.
Time blocking is a technique that involves scheduling specific blocks of time for different tasks or activities. It's similar to a Gantt chart but on a smaller scale and can be used for personal or work-related tasks. By blocking out specific times for tasks, you can prioritize your work and avoid distractions.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
