So what is good?

It is the Friday of a long and stressful week, but it was not all in vain. I am figuring out ways to better organize my time, my work, and my life.

There are only 24 hours in a day, and it is not practical to spend all your time working. Therefore, I am going to do my best to have a minimum of one hour to do something that helps me relax. This can be spent playing WoW, reading a book, or taking the dog for a walk.

Letting yourself get all worked up about what needs to get done does not help get all your work done, but in fact, it makes the job a lot harder. From now on, I will put a “to do list” where I can keep track of all my assignments and projects so I know the higher priority and deadlines of all projects.

Sometimes the best thing you can do with a project is to walk away. Spending hours in front of a computer screen or a piece of a paper may not always be the best way to get the project done. Just by taking a little break to grab a coffee or go for a walk may be what you need to get back on track. (216)
