You must never allow duties to become too numerous for you to handle

EDITOR: Persons live in a world where there is much work to do. They are faced with tasks that they should carry out to get done. There is the ever keeping burden of having to meet deadlines, finishing work for higher workers, and ensuring that duties are settled before being overtaken by more which causes discomfort and headaches. You are to do these duties that present themselves to you, but they should not be allowed to burden and detract from what makes you. It is for persons to apply themselves to not be outdone by the numerous activities that are there to get done by them.

Winston Churchill once said, “All the great things are simple and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, mercy, hope.” This was said to show you the way your duties are to be handled without pressure and difficulty. They should not be carried out as a heavy and struggling list of chores that are to be done. Persons are of need for duties. Without them you would not be functioning people. They are needed to encourage, prolong traits, maintain decency, make life choices and nurture respect. These duties should never be allowed to make you feel distressed and detracted.

It is the task of persons to keep occupied. However, they do not want to have too [many] activities to do. In this space they inhabit, they are pressed with numerous work to handle. Such work becomes but unpleasant stickers onto your daily routines that result in undesirable feelings and outcomes. You do not need to be working so much. Regardless of how important doing duties are, care needs to be taken in how much work and even more so, the type of work you find yourself doing. You need to prevent duties from grouping and hence making your presence strange and wrong.

When duties group among themselves, it causes the taking place of tiring. You are often confronted by many tasks to get done. As the tasks increase in number, it means more work to do. This results in more strain on the body which may then mean more pressure from those tasks and mental stress to deal with. You all want to keep fit. Hence, tiring is never something to accept as you do your daily duties. Another result of this occurrence is consuming plenty time. You are agents who are to conform to the limits of time. It is what you use. You depend on such a factor. Having too much to do would undoubtedly increase the amount of time spent on these tasks. This would only make it more difficult to do other chores since there would be less time to do them. Time is important. You ought to be its conservers. Therefore, you should reduce the number of duties that you should get done.
Also, duties resulting in such groups cause the lessening of the entire being. Persons should feel at the top of their daily activities. This is needed so that they can be surer about what to do as they take on their tasks. The numerous duties would only cause them to feel less as persons and result in them being lower in the way they look at themselves. You should always strive for an entire enriching being. You ought to always face your tasks with care and diligence. However, you must never allow duties to become too numerous for you to handle. You want to receive the rewards of your work. As a result, you should be watchful of the negatives from too much work.
