. The anxiety I feel in not completing my task list makes me work more, and as I do so, one thought percolates in my mind: What am I even accomplishing? Am I Sisyphus cursed to roll a boulder up an insurmountable hill of worry and anxiety and meagre attempts to gain some sort of control in an uncontrollable situation?Working from home creates workdays that are no longer just work-related; they’re blended with household tasks and interruptions, Zoom calls and e-mails.
During this pandemic, our sense of competency has been challenged with demands that many of us have never experienced before. Remote-work technology that we struggle to use can creates barriers to feeling accomplished. Blended days with multiple interruptions take us out of our focused, productive work state. We end up spinning our wheels, checking task after task, managing interruption after interruption, and yet are producing less and feeling overwhelmed in the process.
I wonder, even despite recognizing this, if slowing down is possible. Can we focus on value, both professionally and personally, and acknowledge that we simply have no precedent for the work-life-balance standards of a time like this? Is it possible to let go, step aside and watch the boulder as it rushes back down the hill? Is it possible to walk up, unencumbered?
GlobeDebate Sisyphus found joy in pushing that boulder!
