Also, when I'm stressed or overwhelmed at work, cleaning my desk seems to work magic. It must be some kind of psychological thing because a clean desk gives me a clear mind. :-) Kayceehttp://kayceesimpson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587170240696647383.post-6519894664763951132017-03-09T14:33:47.887-05:002017-03-09T14:33:47.887-05:00Great tips.

Whenever I work on things ahead of schedule, I find myself languishing in all of the extra time in a way that makes me run late later--I need the deadline to keep me from spending too much time on each individual step!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354410479694911605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587170240696647383.post-73411697161251638702017-03-08T18:27:25.968-05:002017-03-08T18:27:25.968-05:00Yes yes, I have a hard time with mind organization...Yes yes, I have a hard time with mind organization.

And unfortunately it only gets worse once you have kids. I get so worried that something terrible will happen and I get all stressed. I know it's the devil trying to get in my head. It is a tough battle and this post really helped get me back into the right place mentally.

Keep it in the drawer at work where you can eat it if it rings, have a removed charging station at home.
