Given the incredible pace of juggling, and the many dropped plates, why would I choose to start a new thing, and add yet more to my workload?
On the surface, this is deeply counterproductive.
And yet, I’m confident that better understanding how and why I drop plates to begin with will help me. Not just in the magical land of ‘later’ - but in the immediate, short term decision making and juggling act I’m currently caught in.
There is a wealth of knowledge out there - the whole point of a diagnosis is to say ‘this isn’t unique’. People have faced these challenges before, are facing them now, and successfully either overcoming them or negating them in ways that encourage human thriving.
It takes humility to say that I can learn something from the others who have gone before me. Humility I’ve been sorely lacking in recent years as I blithely gloss over my own suspicions at every opportunity.
I’ve got some catching up to do, in more ways that one.
