I have never had high EQ. I am the kind of person who cannot wait to get things done. When I want something, I want it now. So childish and immature, I know, and I am trying to overcome this attitude every single day.
Today, I am experiencing another struggle in this area. There are several things that I want done or resolved and I want it to happen as soon as possible - like, how about now? However, there are certain things that are out of my control and all I can do is write e-mails and make phone calls to follow things up.
I promised myself that this week is going to be a rest week for me in terms of freelance writing. I have been working a bit hard in the past months and it would be good to have a light load even for just a week. Yet when I see that I do not have much to do, I can't help but panic. Like right now, I have time to write in this blog!
I need to write my project manager and ask for more work. I need to do that now. I have to let him know I cannot NOT have something to do. These thoughts and more like them are racing in my head. Yet I am doing my best to curb those urges. I am going to relax. Ok, compromise. If I don't get new assignments bu Thursday then I'll e-mail. How's that?
