Patches

Challenge #112

There comes a time in life, in work and on a personal level where there is depletion. Over work, overwhelm, stress and anxieties overcome us and...drain us. Patches became a popular way to cover up holes in clothes, mostly  jeans, or heavier sturdy fabric that was so tattered and torn from over wear, over   use.  Sometimes in work and in life, we also have holes in us from over work, over use, causing us to feel run down, worn, and depleted. And sometimes we take what we have and rather than restructuring, we cover and patch and cover and patch if we can't figure out a way to integrate systems. Patching results in simply covering up and not figuring out what the solutions can be.
I challenge you to acknowledge the patches in your life, in work and personally.  What are the holes in the systems, what are the causes, and how can you fix them by restructuring rather than patching?
