Too Much To Do - Balancing Productivity With Health

I am at that point where I have a TON to do but am also behind on things like reading, organizing, and breathing. I could sit down at my desk, jot out a must do list, and bang away at it or I could take a step back and focus on some things that will make coming in next week less stressful. I could focus on the details of today and go home feeling like it was a "productive" day or I could focus on the big picture health of the long term.

I know that this is a problem for a lot of people. It is especially hard in ministry where people are a priority, but they often feel like an interruption in the productivity of the day. Sometimes I wish I could just do one. Either the people or the productivity. I could be either a people only person or I could hide in my office and get things done. Honestly, I would rather do the people part, but then who is going to get things done for me.

I really have to get my stuff back in line.
