Taking good quality breaks from whatever you're trying to get done is essential. I'm often tempted to just keep working, to try to just get a few more things done, but then if I don't take that break -- particularly the one where I stop and have a nutritious lunch -- then I can't focus, I can't be productive, I can't juggle multiple things, and I really, really won't enjoy taking the dog for his mid-day walk.

Breathe. Eat. Stretch.

I don't think of it as "letting things go," I think of it as, "I'll get to it when I get to it, or when it's so bad I can't stand it anymore."

We can try to prioritize, but we don't always have control over our priorities or our time. You just do what you can, and take good care of yourself!
