[Nerves and Common Sense by Annie Payson Call]@TWC D-Link bookNerves and Common Sense CHAPTER III 1/14
_"You Have no Idea how I am Rushed"_ A WOMAN can feel rushed when she is sitting perfectly still and has really nothing whatever to do.
A woman can feel at leisure when she is working diligently at something, with a hundred other things waiting to be done when the time comes.
It is not all we have to do that gives us the rushed feeling; it is the way we do what is before us.
It is the attitude we take toward our work. Now this rushed feeling in the brain and nerves is intensely oppressive.
Many women, and men too, suffer from it keenly, and they suffer the more because they do not recognize that that feeling of rush is really entirely distinct from what they have to do; in truth it has nothing whatever to do with it. I have seen a woman suffer painfully with the sense of being pushed for time when she had only two things to do in the whole day, and those two things at most need not take more than an hour each.
