Library work does really lean towards the “I’ve been rushing around like a mad person all day, yet nothing got done” end of the spectrum. I love being busy, but it definitely can get exhausting after a while. I’ve also seen research findings that the feeling of never being able to finish a task is a huge cause of job stress.

I’m very glad you shared the idea of SMART goals. I’m going to try that out–right now I have no strategy for setting goals and I’m starting to feel the burn-out looming!
