A miserable day of work today. The first day back at work after a long weekend is always the worst. Especially one full of meetings. Now that I'm working from home all the time, I really need to get into the habit of going out regularly for some exercise. Had plans to go for a lunchtime walk, but that never materialized when all these meetings got scheduled around lunchtime. I've got so much stuff on my plate right now that I hardly have time to think about anything apart from work. I don't think it's doing my health - mental or physical - any good. Nor helping me get any decent sleep. Even after a long weekend, and not long before that the holiday shutdown, I already feel like I need another break from work. That's a little bit disconcerting. Might be time to take a "mental health day". Or at least be able to handle an increased workload and a little bit of stress a bit better.
