I hate stress. I should be okay with it by now considering the nature of my job and being a parent, but I'm not. I'm one of those people who can't make lists because my lists get lost, and I end up repeating the necessary things over and over in my head. Each succesive repeat reminds me of how much I have to do and my stress increases. I relieve my stress in one of three ways: I conk out when I get home, I play Zuma or some other mind numbing game, or I read. I feel lucky that no matter which of the three I engage in that I'm actually able to do it. My kids, while stress-filling, are so wonderfully independent at times. I do know when I have to take drastic measures to relax. The muscles around my eyes start to twitch. I had a twitch for a month and half this year, which is rare. They usually only last about a week. That tells you something about my year. What do you do to relieve stress?
And don't tell me yoga, because I don't want to feel even more stressed that your relaxing activity also helps you lose weight - and mine doesn't.
PS I'm letting you know that I've cheated. This post was supposed to be up on April Fool's Day and it's not. April Fools!

Yes, yoga! It's amazing!! Or swimming. But, if you don't like it, then that would be more aggravating to do then helpful:)
I think a list is the answer to your stress. You are right, you just have to keep it in one place. Like your laptop and print it out many times a day as you change it. So many highly productive people recommend this for high efficiency. Then it's out of your mind and you can just do it! I hate to say it, but it works. It just takes time to do, which you will earn back later. Good luck and only a few weeks left!
