Consider this an intervention of sorts. Despite how busy everyone is, despite the fact that you feel you absolutely MUST. KEEP. GOING. no matter what, and how you are determined that all of the lists and tasks will effectively be checked away with a small pen or pencil mark despite several hours of work on each task. Wait. How is that fair? I don't want to make it take forever simply to accomplish a task, and then my only satisfaction is a minor motion that really doesn't mean much to anyone else.
Personal satisfaction. Despite the fact that everything might be hitting you all at once, and that you think that you simply cannot go on, you must know that you are above all dependent upon yourself. It's difficult to say no, to quit adding the tasks that you could delegate to others on the list, to allow for others to have a little slice of the responsibility. Trust. This is something I'm working on, as I do think everyone has a tendency to not take advantage of those who are willing to work and produce - sometimes, the best product that you could possibly have is NOT self-designed, but rather, one where you have collaborated with another, let them have buy-in to the solution, etc.
Sounds nice, but first you have to let go of the reins, and be okay occasionally riding and not knowing which direction you're going to find yourself going. Good luck.
