Bad day At The Office
Working at home does have its advantages if you compare it to the usual 9 to 5 slog. A walk to the office desk with a nice cup of coffee first thing in the morning, then log on to whatever task you have first to do on your very big list. It does have advantages.
You ever have one of those days guys, one of those days where nothing goes right from morning to night, You ever have one of those days, I bet you do have one of those days. ( you can sing along if you get the urge to )
Quite a big schedule this week in terms of getting things done. It is midweek here and I am behind the eight ball, not in terms of meeting someone's else's schedule but meeting my own. Don't know about you but I can be quite punishing in terms of trying to achieve things and tasks that I have set myself.
So this morning I started really strong, then I made a fatal mistake just started surfing in the name of research. Mind you, to be fair I have learned something new, a few missing pieces which will really help the cause. But I went off topic for sure, you can call me side track Alexander today.
There is just so much stuff out there online, I am semi-dazed.
Going to jump on the mountain bike and go hard out for an hour to get my head back together. I don't know if any of you folks have days like these?
What do you do to get through/past it? would love to know. Never really happened like this before thought I was immune,LOL, I have just learned a valuable lesson.
Thanks for reading, and if you feel up to it commenting.

We are curious and love to learn, so we look and read and watch. It's ok once in awhile. In fact, it may even be good for business to look around at what's going on elsewhere. But yes, I believe everyone has those days. I do--in abundance.
Thank you for dropping by Barbara, we do look around there is so much to look at, the processing is what takes the time some times.

I feel your pain and stress. I'm sure we all face that issue it's just a matter of saying it out loud. Don't feel bad, keep doing what you do and it will eventually turn out right. Take care!
That's me today Alexander....I decided to outsource a landing page, well as it turned out he has rearranged my entire site, changed the theme completely and I freaked..... it looked terrible, so them I asked him put it back asap. Yes he did, but all my widgets are missing, it took me hours to create those, in fact I only just put a post up the other day about how well they were working for me and now they are all gone.....I am not happy at all.. almost feel like giving up today
Take a break. Lower your stress level, and when you get back to work, make it better than it was before!
Wow, that is a bad day at the office, I hope you get that one sorted.Sometimes it is those kinds of things that can trip us up. tomorrow will be a better day. best wishes to finding a solution.
Alexander
Hi Alexander, finally got it all back, took me all day though, hope you feeling better yourself :)
Justine
Just a tempory information overload, pails into insignificance with what you have endured today Justine, so glad you have got things sorted. Its that sense of panic when things like that happen. Such a sense of relief when it works out.
I know, my god I really felt like I was having a melt down today, but all good now....thank you Alexander :) hopefully we both have better days morla and I hope you enjoyed that bike ride?
It can have that effect, a tempory glitch, lesson learned when things are not going step back and regroup. The bike ride was excellent to be recommended Justine, thank you hope your day went very well.
Yes, had a few days like this recently. I try to meditate and/or do breathing exercises, and also go for a long bushwalk with my dog.
Sometimes you need to take yourself out of the situation, re-charge, and then come back with a new mindset. Going for a bike ride, sound like a good idea!
I like your formula Lisa, it is good to take that break, really works a treat. Sometimes the answers just seem to come to your mind. Thank you for your tips.

You are doing GREAT Alexander. Every other day turns out this way for me, so you need to tell me YOUR secret! Steve
Thank you for dropping by Steve, I said in the post that I thought I was immune so it is good to be brought back to earth. Have a plan and try and stick to it. just a little bit of information fatigue.
Alexander
It is easy to get that type of fatigue with the Universe Encyclopedia at the touch of our keyboards! Today will be a GREAT day for you. Steve
Very well said Steve, information overload, it can happen to us all, today business as usual. thank you for your comments much appreciated

One good thing when you get off track during research, Alexander, is that you potentially are coming up with a new blog topic. That's a bonus! :)
Super bonus at the end of the day Rick, looking at the amount of knowledge online is astronomical, the key I think is leveraging it to make the most of it.
Alexander
It's an incredible information age. Stuff at the tips of our fingers. Ideas everywhere, Alexander!
You are not far wrong there Rick perhaps we are getting to the stage whereby there is just too much information. A book springs to mind came out in the seventies, Future Shock by Alvin Toffler I think 1970. a perception of"Too much change in too short a period of time " yikes are we there yet. might of passed it at the last bus stop, lol
I read Future Shock years ago. Might be interesting to revisit it now. There's a lot of information out there, for sure. Sometimes it's nice to just sit by the fire and strum my guitar. :)
