LEARN TO SAY `NO'
Think of yourself as an energy bank. Your "energy
deposits" come from good sleep, eating a balanced diet,
getting regular exercise, and learning to relax during the
day. And you can "save" energy by spending less of it on
things like traffic jams, deadlines, barking dogs, spilled
mills, etc. Another way to conserve your energy is to
learn how to say "no" to projects that you are not
physically, emotionally, or mentally able to add to your
schedule. Mostly, you need to say this to others, but
sometimes to yourself, too.
