Working myself to an early death...

michiexileFor the first time in very many years, I again feel the symptoms of an onsetting close encounter with the proverbial wall.
It's half past one, and I'm wide awake - taking sleepers - and feeling quite ill. My self-diagnosis is stress. Plain and simple. Within little more than a week, the JMC starts. Within rather precisely two weeks, the ECM starts. I have an insane amount of responsibilities for them - more than I can realistically handle - and it slowly is taking it's toll...
I've started - and I will continue - to delegate viciously. I do NOT want to design the programme myself. I do NOT want to design the proceedings myself. I'd prefer to be able to handle the JMC without having to worry about the ECM during the days of the overlap.
I have handed off dealing with the proceedings. Apart from the fact that I still have all the material needed for it in my mailbox. Have to solve that one.
I just handed over the "deal with the ECM staff" bit. That's good. But it doesn't really solve the immediate problem (i.e. my being about to look for a bucket for throwing up in =/ )
I will make sure someone else coordinates and writes the programme. Preferably without talking too much to me.
And thus, I will be able to focus on the things left. I.e. handling all the crises arising with the poster sessions (such as a LOT of people being left out =/ ) and finishing the Banquet.
