Leaving Work at Work
Check out this quote from my astrological “personal guide to the future”:
Because it isn’t easy for Virgos to relax, you need plenty of hobbies and pastimes to steer you in that direction.
This commentary is totally spot-on for me. I think that this is even more so these days in the working world than even when I was still in school. Or perhaps it seems that way because I still need to “gear-down” from working as hard as I did when I was in school.
I think that I have trouble managing my downtime. In fact, I don’t let myself have any downtime: any spare time goes to reading, studying, research, designing, planning, and scheming. The fact is, years of doing this has caught up to me, so much that lifting a pencil is too much mental exercise. My head hurts from so much thinking.
There was a period of a few weeks earlier this year when I was actually scheduling in some “fun” hours: it was when I was practicing for the Gala Ball. Yes, if I don’t schedule anything, I automatically default to my “usual.”
Okay now – just gotta find a few more fun things to put into the after-five schedule.
