I don't know if I'm on my own on this one but recently I've been suffering from poor sleep. Unfortunately the reason for that poor sleep is that I keep waking up really early (about 2am) in a blind panic about whether or not I am able to maintain enough work for my company to keep me and my employees in jobs, mortgages, clothes, food etc. In the cold (and knackered) light of day, I know that I have no real reason to fear this. I have 2 major and a number of smaller clients, all of whom keep piling on the work and none of whom seem in any hurry to take their work elsewhere.
Fundraising isn't the most morale-boosting of professions to be in at the moment but at least I can say our area of work is currently in demand! However, like many others I guess, we are currently having to work twice as hard to attempt to maintain the levels of income we've been used to securing over the past few years. Feelings of not being able to do accomplish everything / anything have started to surface. So what do I do in reaction to this? Of course, put more hours into not accomplishing that which I want. That then leaves me reducing the amount of time I am spending with my family - cue more feelings of 'not-doing-a-good-job' at home as well as at work.
Does anyone out there have the magical nay nythical answer to this age-old problem?? Or is it just true that the more we accomplish, achieve and have for ourselves, the more we fear losing it all rather than enjoying it while it lasts???
