After my Happy Chinese New Year post, I have been considering all the ways in which I could be better at getting things done.  This week the theme has definitely been productivity, time management and completing tasks.  I think what kicked in for me was a level of panic about not completing the requirements for my graduate program and ALL of the long-term goals that I want to accomplish.  After attending to myself and getting off of a fairly rocky emotional rollercoaster I realized that I needed to imbed some processes in my day-to-day to help with being productive.  So, I wanted to share one thing that has been critical to me having a reasonably productive last two weeks.

By North American standards I'm late. The new year has been ticking along for the past 39 days.  I've been a bit down about not taking advantage of these first 39 days of 2016.  When I feel compelled to beat myself up about it, I go back and look at last blog post. I was feeling really hopeful, energetic and optimistic.  Not even two weeks after that post life decided to assert itself and things got "twist-turned-upside-down" and I got on an emotional rollercoaster (no Vivian Green) that had more downs than ups.
