You can more effectively focus on your priorities and make better decisions when you go to their inbox.

The problem is they probably already had some other priorities that slipped because they opened their inbox.

I also love to get started on something tough then take a break...I think the standard 9-5 job doesn't work because people just can't be truly 100% on task without a small break I feel bad that I don't always comment even though I do read…you just have a lot of comments!

I might use some of those since my life is crazy hectic right now.<br />I'm useless with time management :(<br />I have a really terrible way of dealing with stress from workload, if I have an exam to do or a report to hand in or something and I'm stressed out about it, I don't do it at ALL. I try not to think about it by not doing it, which, in turn, creates MORE stress :S<br />So thankyou for posting your tips, I think I'll test them out.<br /><br />I like how you wrote out a list of things that needed to be done because you couldn't sleep with it all running through your mind.<br />I do that all the time, I find it hard to switch my brain off, so I write out everything that's on my mind. Works great! <br />:D Awesome tips! I might use some of those since my life is crazy hectic right now.

I've been SWAMPED and it's been hard! <br /><br /><br />I got up every morning this week at 5 am to run and lift weights. This morning I was *supposed* to go swimming but I just couldn't get myself out of bed! I have been feeling SO guilty all morning but this post REMINDED me that sometimes you just can't fit it all in and it's OK to cut back on exercise. I still worked out FOUR times this week already, which is more than a lot of people can say!<br /><br />Thanks for such a great useful post!!<br /><br />One of my time management tricks is actually NOT to multitask. I find that if I'm: reading blogs, watching TV AND trying to get an assignment done it takes me THREE TIMES as long to finish the assignment. So now I just shut off the computer and TV, get the work done, and then take a 30 minute break to catch up on blogs!<br /><br />Whew, sorry for the long comment! Have a great day! This post came at the PERFECT time for me after not working out this morning.
