Maybe I'm TOO efficient....

There always needs to be a source of stress, right?

Since my line of credit increase was approved, and the computers are finally arriving, and the staff is settled in....what on earth would I have to worry about?

Well, they are working well. My Leaning Tower of Paperwork is no more, my To Do list is being done, my office is organized - and I'm running out of stuff to do. this was the one thing I hadn't really anticipated, since I was so overwhelmed before. I'm gradually talking myself down, reminding myself that I've been through this before, taking steps like re-activating Adwords and revamping the website and contacting the SEO company that did wonders the last time I used them. I hadn't really needed to focus on attracting new business before, so it was a bit of a shock when I realized that my site visits dramatically decreased a few months ago and I needed a serious revamp.

I know the remedial steps will help - people didn't suddenly stop getting divorced here, and the Lawyer Referral Service is likely to kick in any day now, which in the past managed to feed a practice. Meanwhile, though, I've been STRESSED!

Starting some jogging

I did an 8 km walk on Saturday, a 1/2 hour run/walk on Sunday and another 1/2 hour run/walk yesterday. My husband signed me up for a 5K run in October, so I'm determined to run the whole thing and not end up last.

Need. Sleep. Now.

I think the title says it all.

The new work arrangements are going well, except for the fact that the computers are late, but the stress coming out of the holidays and into such a busy time at work have meant that I wasn't getting much sleep. I'm tired and cranky.

The changes will be good and should soon stabilize - but for now, good diet and exercise and sleep habits have fallen by the wayside. I need to spend Saturday having a long nap and a long walk.

The good news is that work is more productive, between the new staff, my increased sense of responsibility (I'm no longer alone and now need to lead an office), and the fact that my computer time, by necessity, is now limited.
