I discovered this idea when I was looking around in Helen Blunden’s blog. Even though I’m incredibly busy, I always feel like I’m not getting anything accomplished these days. I suddenly realized that this might really help to put things in perspective!

Hi there! Thanks for the mention and I’m glad you found this useful. In all honesty, I feel the same way about being busy and not getting anything accomplished. When you look at it this way, we actually are! I don’t know how valuable this is to readers but what I found, for myself, it made me put some things into perspective. Now the challenge is reflecting on each one and getting some learning out of it through applying it in a work context – and then blogging about it!
