Helpless feeling

I know I am constantly mentioning how difficult Mondays are due to my commitments around Wellington and today was no exception.  Today was typical in the sense I ran to one meeting and afterwards had an hour or so before I had to leave campus. I did get my user interface to a usable point (hopefully tomorrow I put it into practice), I took some measurements on an instrument outside our lab and I managed to order some materials.

Despite the busy schedule and my attempt at making some progress, overall I felt (and still feel) overwhelmed by the amount of work I currently have queued.  What makes it worse is because there's little, if any, time on Monday to get things done it feels as if I am at a standstill.  It's one thing to worry about your workload, but it's far worse to worry about your workload and watch a whole day pass when you make no progress.
