  • I have really paced myself on a couple of projects in Q2 so that I have time to have fun this summer.

  • I've had trouble keeping track of my work and personal goals, despite my planner. So I decided to focus on visually posting a few goals at a time (on my computer, white board, etc.). Plus I use index cards to write my daily tasks and I RIP THEM UP when I'm done. It's really satisfying!

  • I joined a book club to read War and Peace. After reading about 1/3 of it, I don't really like War and Peace! I quit the book club. :)
