Why am I catching up on like 3 months worth or your blog?? Because I've been working nonstop since June! I really needed to read this today. Thanks :)Amberhttp://www.lotusblossomphotography.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287763886922527670.post-65148404366968843432010-06-20T05:11:49.999-05:002010-06-20T05:11:49.999-05:001 - a "quiet time" is a daily must - how...1 - a "quiet time" is a daily must - however you interpret that to be -- but be sure to see it as "an appointment with the KING" that you can not miss!! Who would tell THE KING, "sorry, got more urgent things to do right now" - i mean really!! and not just a 'check it off the list' visit - but a real - "good morning, thank you and I love you, Sir" - actually put it on your calendar as an appointment - then keep the appointment-nuff said<br />2 - an accountability partner who will really ask, "So, what have you done besides work this week?" and hubby's (who are also a bit of workaholics) are probably not your best choice here<br />3 - continually getting sick - becoming so forgetful - losing your joy at work ---- all signs of overdoing it, should be noted and responded to asap<br />4 - finally, knowing you are loved perfectly by a "there's Grace for that" God so that when you slide back into old ways you know you can turn again & keep going by His Greater Grace (James 4:6)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287763886922527670.post-42951633778813757342010-05-19T18:02:10.781-05:002010-05-19T18:02:10.781-05:00Daughter, you know my story. :-) Do you think it&...Daughter, you know my story. :-) Do you think it's a genetic thing?<br /><br />This is an especially tough area for me right now due to inflexible editorial and production deadlines facing me straight ahead like a brick wall on an interstate highway. <br /><br />I keep telling myself, "Once these thirty-five projects (not kidding) have been completed and submitted, THEN I'll take a break."<br /><br />Well, the problem with that kind of thinking is that when these thirty-five items have been checked off of my to-do list, thirty-five other things will most likely take their place!<br /><br />Another way of interpreting the word "Sabbath" is to think of it as meaning "Stop!" So, that is exactly what I did when I got home this evening. Although lately I have had to work through the evenings, tonight I decided to "Stop." <br /><br />I stopped to take a 15-minute cat nap. I stopped to play with the dog when I woke up. I stopped to check my daughter's blog. :-) <br /><br />Sure, I will have to wrap up a few critical items this evening, but most of what I think is so urgent will just have to wait. Without stopping once in awhile just like this, reaching that brick wall at full force could end up being a disaster!<br /><br />Sabbath. Now, there's a good word.J.

Honestly I just keep working myself to the bone and can't mentally or physically relax in my own apartment. Thank goodness it is summer so I can get a tiny bit of a break!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08098293843718962318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287763886922527670.post-91217371067190693712010-05-19T14:50:23.769-05:002010-05-19T14:50:23.769-05:00Since my office is also in my home, I make it a po...Since my office is also in my home, I make it a point to either leave in order to take a break or have some friends over. If I'm not near my computer or I have someone else with me then I can't work on the pile of tasks that are constantly calling my name. Evenings with friends or weekends at the lake are the best ways that I have found to not allow me to workAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03224887774879891371noreply@blogger.com
