Transcript of Cami's Commentary:

Last year, amid frequent travels to see my father in hospice, I wrote a blog post while grappling with exhaustion and the sorrow of impending loss. It echoed a familiar grief from 2021 as my mother neared the end of her life. This fall, the fatigue persists. I've felt overwhelmed by juggling end-of-year projects, recovering from COVID-19 in September, and traveling twice in October.

Despite this, the strategies I shared in that blog post remain effective. I listed all my stressors yesterday and tackled a few, making tangible progress. This small step helps to break the paralysis of an endless to-do list.

The key is to remember you're in control. Recognize that your clients may feel overwhelmed, possibly leading to their urgency. Keep them informed—not with finished tasks, but with progress. It buys time and understanding.

Business has its cycles of pressure, but it's crucial to remind ourselves that these phases are temporary. There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
