Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..TUE.6/21/05

Protest with your pocketbook.

Sadly, it seems the only way to get people to do the right thing these days is to put the squeeze on them financially. Don't buy the products of companies, do business with merchants, or contribute to organizations whose policies, practices or advertising you find questionable. No, you won't bring a big outfit to its knees. But you'll enjoy the satisfaction of knowing they're not getting your money. And perhaps the money of others you pass along your concerns to. Also, make your disapproval known. Call toll-free customer service lines when available, and voice your complaints on their dime. Do nothing and the issue will continue to rankle you. Exercise the power you have, however small, and hit them where it hurts most. In the wallet. Why make yourself crazy?

Are you an inveterate deviator?

Not deviate, deviator. That is, one who is so easily and often distracted you become three tasks removed from the one you should be doing. To the point where you completely forget about first one until you stumble across it later on. Sometimes of course you have no choice. Life can unfold in frantic bursts. But how often do you give in to distractions you know full well aren't important and leave you scurrying to catch up? It can be habit forming -- a self-inflicted attention deficit disorder that disrupts your focus and workflow. The solution is simple. Whenever you're tempted to sidetrack, ask yourself: is this detour worth taking? Then, summon the resolve to pass on it. Why make yourself crazy?
