I found myself saying "this is very important" a lot.
I fall into spouting clichés very easily, but each time I was consciously using the phrase because it exactly represented my thoughts - each topic I was discussing was very, very important. The problem was that there were so many of them. As I remembered one it would blot out the others, meaning that they were not being dealt with as urgently or as carefully as they needed.
Of course, there's an adrenalin rush to be had from trying to juggle so many balls which rather compensates for the lack of sleep, but it did lead me to one interesting thought - is having too many very important things a definition of being stressed?
