Stopping when it is good enough

Today it was not that smooth, but overall it’s well done.  I learnt to stop when it’s good enough. Yes, I know what to do ideally but thank God that I can stop according to what was requested in the office. There were still certain things that I crossed the boundary, like when I didn’t fully delegate to my colleague although I have said so. But at least we did together and got things done.

I also asked when it was the time to ask. Things were imperfect, there was even a blank moment for a while. But it was good that I could practice the REBT form and then continued again.

By almost the end of the working hours, I only did 1 of the 3 priority things for today. So the 25 minutes technique helped me to at least spent some time of the other priority item before leaving the office.

After the office hours, I also asked what was planned to be asked. No need to be that detail and perfect, just select and choose. There are many things that we cannot control. so that means that we don’t need to be always in control. We do what we can, and then continue again when the time is available.

Things are still piling up. But the question would be is it helpful to be stressed about them? Would it be more logical to either continue one by one or to rest to save the energy later on. Remember that we can live by God’s grace. So there is no need to say I must do or be something, we can wish but it’s ok if that wish doesn’t come true, as long as we try.
