Thank you for your comment. You are right about the backup. When I look back on the month it is good to see that although I was being more reactive than usual, I was still able to apply some of my good habits; most of the tasks I reacted to were important.

Of course the fact I was able to take on more work during the busy time also shows the benefits of being organised. Other people were complaining about having too much work and I was in a position to take more on. Yes it made me even more busy, but I knew I could cope, and of course that helps to impress my managers 😀
