Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..TUE.05/03/05

Fire yourself.

If you're constantly running late, over-scheduling your days, making far too many mistakes, rushing around in a dither, doing everything in a slapdash manner...fire yourself! Because what you're doing now simply isn't working. So start over. Rethink things. And hire a new, different you to manage your life. One who doesn't say yes to anything until you've weighed its demands against your time and energy. One who realizes it's actually more productive (and infinitely more rewarding) to do fewer things well than many things badly. Like a company that sells off a poorly performing subsidiary, rid your life of needless pursuits that do little more than compound the chaos. If your current lifestyle isn't cutting it, give it the pink slip. Why make yourself crazy?

Don't be so dismissive.

Do you often summarily reject something, or find an excuse to deem it unworthy, not because it lacks merit, but simply out of expediency? Because you're too busy to properly evaluate it? Be careful. At such times it's very easy to pass over an extraordinary opportunity. (Note the word "miss" in dismissive.) Ideally, you should never let yourself become so overwhelmed you cut yourself off from exploring new ideas and directions. Even in a frazzled state, you should never reject something or someone outright, before giving them at least a cursory investigation. It could be the very thing that springs you from the indentured life of stress you're living. Why make yourself crazy?
