I have about 11 days of leave that I have to take by the end of June. Also, I will lose them. This is fact I cannot ask for carryover.
The issue is at work. I have many task to do because I only work three days a week that makes it impossible to take the leave Without dropping some tasks.
Circumstance : leave will expire at the end of June.
Thought. I am not able to use this sleeve in the month of June because I have too much work.
Feeling: frustration
Actions keep postponing to look at my agenda to see how to make it possible, avoid saying no to work requests, beating myself up, saying I don’t have time to do herbalism because I choose work over my studies
Result, I don’t take my leave.
I’ve tried to make an intentional model
Circumstance: I have leave to take which will expire
Thought I deserve to take my leave.
Feeling: love.
Actions: I look at my calendar on the morning when I’m feeling fresh and block time:, I communicate to colleagues that I am not working on certain days: I make a plan with colleagues about which work can be delegated: I plan time to study my herbalism and rest
The intentional model looks really nice yet. I’m still struggling to do this because I have important tasks that have to be done in June which will not be complete if I take my leave
Please help.
