I Gotta Be Careful ] 9/8/05

I gotta write on the bad days too. I have overcommitted myself to good things. I have been going non-stop for about 3 weeks, with very little downtime. Running from one thing to the next. I am using the strategic thinking part of my brain, writing papers, planning curicullum, designing web site frameworks, pulling together 25 posters at work, traveling and reading and trying to eat healthy and stay fit, and be everywhere when I need to be there.

I am wearing thin.

Yesterday I bitched out a number of people that I am working with on the Let's Talk social marketing campaign. I want immediate results. I don't want to have to explain things. I want to get shit done and keep moving.

I have noticed in this obsessive addictive behavior. At work, e-mail is just a click away. Getting an e-mail that is a reaction to something I have put out there is thrilling. I am addicted to positive reinforcement. And if I can't get positive reinforcement, I go for any reaction.

I don't know how to stop this. I feel like I'm on speed. My brain is going 500 mile per hour. I feel like a short order cook dishing out club sandwiches. I need to slow down. But how do I do that?

Ok, back to work.
