How the heck am I supposed to concentrate on work?!

venart, 6 June, 2013 at 11:11 Posted on Planning 0 8

For the past few weeks I've been going flat out at work with work things, half term, planning summer events, dealing with school groups, etc... Today, though, I just cannot focus on work!

I have only 5 full days of work left and a couple half days, and I have so much to get squared away in that time, but I'm unable to do anything. Any OMs or other brides to be finding the same?

I don't even have wedding things to do, I just want to bask in the glow of all the plans we've made, talk weddings, go sit out in the sunshine, or otherwise ditch work.

    I have just over 3 weeks until maternity leave so I'm with ya! Have done little more than surf the internet this morning, which is bad as I have loads to do before I finish.

    I've basically had hourly tea/coffee breaks, been through the house to chat with all the volunteers because they all asked about the wedding, and have just sat down at my desk for the first time in an hour and come back on here to the forum while I count down to lunch. At some point I'll do something productive, but probably not until the hour before I leave, haha.

    I was like this before I went on leave for my wedding. Just could not concentrate on anything! Luckily, neither could my colleages!

    I just keep thinking to myself 'I can't believe I'm getting married in 3 weeks!' It doesn't quite feel real yet. And I'm slightly concerned that I have almost nothing left to do.

    I was exactly the same and was completely useless in my last week at work! I was there in body but not in mind and I couldn't do anything apart from the most mindless of tasks! I completely neglected everything at home too to the point where my bank card was declined today as I was sent another one in the post but I completely ignored opening the letter! Just enjoy it!!

    Haha, glad to hear I'm not the only one. I ended up leaving work early today, too! I did manage to send out meeting minutes it took me all day to type up. Luckily tomorrow there's an actual event to run, so I'll not be sat at my desk all day again, twiddling my thumbs.

    I just want to go to sleep and wake up next week when my family arrive and I'm off work!!
