I have a great deal of anxiety over “lack of time” issues and now I know what my problem is. I’m an optimist.
An article in yesterday’s paper described an optimist in terms I had never associated with the condition.
“An optimist is “Someone, like me, who plans to get more done than time permits. Having failed to achieve the impossible, someone, like me, who is sure everything will somehow get done anyway.”
A more classical definition from the Mayo Clinic: “Optimism is the belief that good things will happen to you and that negative events are temporary setbacks to be overcome.”
