Dear Stress, Lets Breakup

Why do I always give myself more work then I can handle?

I try so hard to stay organized and not burn out with work but I keep messing it up every...single...week. On Monday I start out all hopeful and excited to get stuff done only to spiral into a bottomless pit of stress by freaking Wednesday. Ahhhh what's wrong with me?

I have to realize that the work might never stop, but I do. I need to set better boundaries around how many hours I work so I can attain this whole work-life balance thing all these "internet gurus" keep talking about.

It's ok to work hard, but not when it takes a toll on your sanity. Dear stress lets break up but stay friends. You will always motivate me to keep pushing forward but I can't let you ruin my life.
