[Blog] Too much pressure will break you

I'm kinda stating the obvious right? Too much pressure will break you. Duh! It's normal to happen. But... the thing is we don't know how much pressure will break us. And that is a bless and a curse at the same time.

I was browsing through the notes on my phones yesterday and I noticed one in particular. "The higher the pressure you put on yourself, the more likely are to you procrastinate". I think I made the note while listening to a podcast about the motivational myth.

This week I received a new account at work. Big and important client. And I started to pressure myself to do everything right and in time and to cover as much ground as possible. I started to get tired. When I arrived home I just wanted to have a break, but I was didn't allow myself to do that. I had to write. Again pressure.

Until something clicked this morning and I realised how tired I am. When my alarm started this morning, I cut it off and I hit snooze a couple of time, until I decided it was the time to wake up. Around 6:20 and not 3:45. But it was a necessary thing to do, otherwise I would have a really bad day today.

Too much pressure will break you. It almost did to me. So, take it slow, take a step back and don't be in such a hurry to do everything at the same time. I always have to remind this to myself, but I never listen. And I reach the breaking point from time to time.
