The point is it’s all about putting things into perspective.Įvery once in awhile I watch a documentary or read a book that reminds me that perspective is the key to keeping my sanity. It is easy for me to get stuck on a seemingly infinite to-do list and forget that I check off the items on that list from my comfortable Easter Seals Headquarters office on the 24th floor of the Willis Tower on one of two monitors (or my iPad or iPhone). I’m fairly certain that I am not alone in sometimes feeling overwhelmed by the lack of white space on my calendar or the abundance of (mostly self-induced) stress in my life. I’ll put it on my to-do list to figure it out. For every task I checked off my list, exactly 1.5 new tasks emerged in its place. This week, I have exactly 35 new tasks on my to-do list. Last week I checked 14 tasks off my to-do list. Book review: Naoki Higashida’s “The Reason I Jump”
