I'm in the midst of a crunch time here. Things got crazy in June when my family obligations suddenly increased. Now, it's all about work, and I'm making computer generated schedules of every minute of the day to make sure that everything gets done. I think I'm doing a pretty good job of keeping my sanity. It helps to take the time to eat and sleep. And I know that the world just isn't going to end if my bibliography isn't totally perfect. Actually the world isn't going to end, if nothing ends up happening. I've found that nihilism is a powerful ally during these times of stress.
I have a love-hate relationship with crunch times. Clearly, it sucks to be so stressed out. There's no time to write the daily blog post and the Times is still folded over neatly on the kitchen table. But, I'm an adrenaline freak; I kind of feed off of stress, too.
Question of the Day: Are you stressed out right now? What's freaking you out? What do you do to relax?
