Something else to work on

Mar 08, 2021 20:40

 I need to do some mental work on, well, working on things I don't want to do.

I set aside Friday to work on employee evaluations, and I got almost nothing done, for a couple of reasons. The first is that I got interrupted a fair bit by stuff that I did need to address. The second reason is that I worked on an employee evaluation for two hours, and when I tried to save it in the web portal where I'd been working on it, the whole thing refreshed and took me back to the start and wiped everything I'd written.

What I should have done is just started over. Instead, my brain refused. Here is a pictorial representation of what happened:



Today I was in meetings part of the time, and the rest of the time when I should have made the best of a bad situation, my brain continued to sulk, and I let it. So tonight I am going to go to bed at a reasonable hour (which I super succeeded at yesterday, I am happy to report: I had the lights out at 8:25!) , and tomorrow's "thought work" homework will be working through why my brain is yelling NOPE about employee evalutations, which I've never had THAT much trouble with up until this year.
