I'm sorry - I don't know if this should go in a different section, or if it is specific enough to HE to be here... But as the title suggests I just dont know if I can carry on.
I'm a lecturer at a RG uni. 3 times tonight I have closed my laptop, only to then remember yet something else I haven't done. I am working long hours, and just worked out all-in-all I have taken 1 day 'off' since August - a Saturday. Obviously I don't usually work 'full days' at weekends, but I do work, and every weekend and every evening (unless I've stayed late at the office). I still have 15 days or so leave for the year (runs out at Christmas). At half term I had childcare sorted so I could go in between 6 and 7, and didnt leave until 7 each night, and full days those weekends. And still there's more work. I know I am no longer working at all efficiently, but I don't know what to do. Does everyone feel like this (even a bit), or am I now so inefficient I should just cut my losses? I love some parts of my job, and thankfully I have great colleagues, but I just don't know what to do.
I dont even know what I'm asking - I suppose does anyone have any tips or strategies or anything, or do I just need to get smarter, better, suck it up..?
