Ruth, It sounds like you frequently find yourself with many tasks on your plate at once. It also sounds like you take a lot of pride in accomplishing them immediately. That has probably worked well for you and contributed to your success. At the same time, it can also contribute to burn out. If you are ever feeling like you have taken on too much, it's ok to take some time for you every now and then. Doing so could help you actually be more productive when you return to your work.
