WORKING WOMAN

I work almost constantly.

I just took two conference calls, did an interview, listened to a cut of my podcast, gave notes, and had a phone therapy session (not work-work, but work). And I’m driving. I overcompensate to cover up the fact that I don’t feel as fulfilled in other areas of my life. I tightly pack any spare time with projects and goals to be completed so as to not even have a moment to think about whatever deeper, darker, historical emotional patterns are buried under the surface. There’s nothing in my life I can think of that gives me more satisfaction than checking off an item on my many work-related to-do lists, and I get a high from the starting and finishing of things. Creating something from nothing is the most engaged and connected I feel to myself and the world and yeah, in turn that has slowly made me more and more isolated. All of this will bubble to the surface in due time and I’ll hopefully have an extra morning free before work to double up on therapy whenever it does, but I’m not trying to figure that out just yet. For someone who leans on their career as a crutch, any holdups or hiccups in production become clear and build up over time, affecting said crutch, and eventually have to be addressed. So, in an attempt to not work for three weeks (but still, clearly work throughout), I’ve started to conduct a self-review of some of my professional insecurities…for the future, when I get back to work. I’ve made a list (obviously).
