Clearing the Logjam
by: Shannon Steene
I type this with an overwhelming sense of order. For the first time in months, my desk is clean and you can see the speckled gray surface! And, oh how good it feels.
The last week has been a much-needed break in the pace for me. You see, last week I was all worked up about three important funding proposals, as well as completing a final exam for my grad school class. With all of that now done, I’ve focused on completing lower-priority things that have piled up on my desk. Many of the things waiting for attention took less time than anticipated. Removing the backlog is wonderful.
