When the to do list becomes onerous

I find that as my energy levels pick up and the to do list grows ever longer, impatience often gets the better of me as I attempt to rush through each project just  so I can tick them off the list.  When that happens, more often than not the tyranny of the urgent consumes me and instead of enjoying the process, the task at hand turns into a chore which just needs to do done and no satisfaction or fulfillment ensues from the pursuit of the task.  It is at these times that I need to just pull back, take a deep breath and realign my focus to the doing rather than just the finishing.  After all there will always be more to do so I might as well get some enjoyment along the way.
