Sounds like I have the same approach as you do with your steps. I manage through the crazy work times by listing the things that are on my plate, figuring out which matters most, and I work them off the list. When I'm feeling stressed that the list is never ending (because more things keep getting added) I just tell myself that worst case scenario, I'll get fired, and wouldn't that be fun to have a forced sabbatical for a few months. Life is too short to get stressed by other people's expectations. We all know who/what matters most. The key to happiness is giving those people and things our attention.Chris Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400228290978730369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843414525694557803.post-62489203674513230472012-08-31T11:05:47.077-04:002012-08-31T11:05:47.077-04:00Thanks, readers!
