The nature of working too much.
Often times it seems that work comes to me in strange ways. Usually on some level, I let myself be taken advantage of. I end up volunteering for some random task because I feel like I may be the most qualified to do the task or it’s a friend that I just want to help… or I just have a hard time saying “no” for some reason. This is probably one of my biggest downfalls for me on a personal level.
This feeling comes to me where I feel like I have volunteered myself for way too many pro-bono cases and too many causes for which I take interest. In this I work too much. Am I paid for it? Most of the time, no.
I don’t mind giving of myself for a worthy cause that really isn’t self-serving on the other person’s behalf, but am I letting my talents just serve other people’s selfish motivations rather than the things I feel are more worthy of my attentions?
The answer is yes.
Now comes the question “what do I do about it from here?”
