Burned Out

So, I'm at a point in life when I'm really, really, really burned out. Unfortunately, life is not stopping. (How can I fix that?) :) I'm tired of living the same day over and over - work, school, church, school, a little fun, work, school...you get it. While I do enjoy these things from time to time, I'm just ready for a break. But at the same time, I don't want to not do anything - I just want to do more of what I want to do. Yes, I know that sounds totally selfish and immature, but that doesn't mean I can't want it :) There are so many things I need (and want) to work on right now, but they are not at the top of the list, so I just keep waiting. How can I get everything done at once? How can I make time stand still? Will I ever be at a place where I'm doing what I really want to do?

Contrary to what it seems, I really am content. (I know all of my whinning in the last paragraph doesn't seem like it, but it's true.) I know that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be doing exactly what I'm doing. And on the upside, usually when I start getting restless it means that something is about to change--which is both exciting and scary.

So, all of this pointless rambling to say--I'm going to try especially hard this week and next week to get everything done that I need to do and even work ahead a little so that I can spend some time doing things that I really want to do. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to try to work in the things I want to do now, but my main goal is to go crazy on my to-do list and get everything done...or at least the things that have to be done soon. In the meantime, I'm not going to focus on being burned out. Instead, I'm going to get fired up to be productive!
