Situation appraisal
Following the training in problem solving last week, I started a situation appraisal. I identified 8 top priority concerns, three of which relate to my job. Of the others, two look to my future. Three center on relationships with other people.
Of the three that relate to my job, I can probably resolve two through email. That leaves one more, and it's at the core of what I'm supposed to be doing at work right now anyway.
The other five may take longer to resolve. All of them look hard to handle well. So why focus on work? Procrastination may explain more than I thought.
Work for which I'm paid seems serious, important. Responsible people encourage me to view it that way. I even encourage myself to view it that way.
