The Closet of Things to Do

There always seems to be so much to do.  Things come to mind, but can't be done right away, so they cram into the mental closet of things to do.  So many things, and sometimes it seems as if they all have to be done at once.

But, of course, they can't be.  So why allow them to be a source of stress and anxiety?  Take a deep breath, and bring your mind back to the simple task of watching your breath come in.  That attention will connect your mind back with a realistic sense of time.  Once settled in your center, you will know what you need to do next, and you can do it, leaving the rest of the things in the closet until their turn.
