Okay, jerm; sounds like you may have a case of manic depression.
Just a thought.But typical symptoms are days of hyper activity,
followed by a slump--a cycle if you will.

i say there is nothin' wrong with this way of living. some days you overwork...and other days you loaf (so to speak). in the end, it's kinda like a budget....maybe each little area you put the money isn't quite right, as long as in the end it balances out...then who cares! I can kick butt for days on end....then not do a danged thing for what seems like weeks! don't be so hard on yourself...and quit wigging out (man, i haven't heard that prhase in a lonnnnnggggggg time!!!)

What's to analyze?

You move with nature and that is "perfectly" normal.

Think of the Mighty Oak Tree that grows in spurts and then rests until the time when it will spurt again. That pattern of growth creates a stable, long lived existence whereas a rapid, constantly growing tree climbs to it's maximum within relatively few short years but it's life is also short lived because all it's energy was spent in it's rapid climb upward with no time permitted for refueling and absorbing nutrients essential to a long, healthy life.

All things that sustain themselves and continue to grow take time to rest, reflect, read, sleep, dream, daydream, etc. These things are not "nothing" as you have been "programmed" to think; they are God's way of natural rest and refueling. It is "perfectly" normal.

Also, another very important aspect to consider is about your output level of energy... I would guess that during those high output peaks, you extend much more energy than does one who moves along at a steady pace. Neither is right, and neither is wrong. We are all different and therefore we all have different methods based on our different minds. Einstein came across as a scatter brain but he wasn't. He just thought differently than many others.

Never compare yourself to other's perceptions of you. In fact, never compare yourself at all; trust that you are who you are for a reason and you are where you are for the same reason. Trust in it and continue to move forward.

Your breaks can last a day, and they can last for years depending on what your body needs to replenish itself. Trust that God and the Angels will never steer you wrong. They speak to you through your feelings, you know.

Everybody deserves to take time off and rest. Most pastors don't actually get a lot of free time, due to their ministry. So, enjoy your free time with no guilt!

Your fine..because if your weird so is everyone else.. Things get done..people are happy..try not to wig out too much and you'll be fine..

You probably need to find a happy balance between work and leisure. When you work for so long and so hard, your body must rest--the lazy days. If you paced yourself, you would be more consistent and possibly guilt free! But as Marg says, if it works for you---

It doesn't sound bad to me. You do all of your work in a few days and then you take a few days off. You still get it done and everyone is happy!

I say, if this is what works for you, go with it.
