Fatigue

"Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task."

William James

Recently as I was trying to discern what should be the highest priority tasks for my day, I came across this quote on the top of the page of my Franklin planner. It confirmed what I felt the Lord was trying to tell me. Get rid of those hanging-on tasks, the things I want done but have been putting off because there is always something else that seems more important. At this time of year it is especially difficult to get to those things. But I did find that by accomplishing a few of them my spirits were lifted and I felt a resurgence of energy. For me, particularly at very busy times, it is important to protect myself against fatigue.
