Accomplishing the Impossible
Apr. 10th, 2009 09:02 am"Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties." Doug Larson
The funny part is that most of us are likely to add it ourselves -- the boss just rubs salt into the wounds. Sometimes you have to slow down and get yourself under control, otherwise the to-do lists are likely to be can't-possibly-get-done lists, and poor old Sisyphus will get mashed by that stone again. So give yourself a break!
It's difficult to avoid falling to the satisficing horde, but sometimes pushing oneself to overachieve can also be problematic. Balance and selection -- what do I want to achieve? Stretch goals, but not crash-and-burn goals, okay?
