In an effort to stay constantly busy and stave off boredom (every Novel Patient’s ultimate enemy), I tend to take on a lot of projects.  And lately I think I may have taken on a few too many.  I tend to have a hard time finding that balance between bored and too busy.  Lately I’ve been tipping the scales towards the too busy side.  And then comes the stress which isn’t good for me.  Stress can make my diseases worse.  And I definitely don’t want that.

But being bored is a much worse evil.  My body may be sick but my brain doesn’t have to atrophy.  Nothing makes me more depressed than feeling like my mind is turning to mush.  That I am wasting my life.

So I’ve found ways to do something with my life despite being sick in bed most of the time.  The computer is a god send.

But my constant question is: how to find that balance and be just busy enough?
