(I am a list maker, I confess) It keeps me on track, a skill I learned when I took a Essentials of Stress Management course.<br /><br />The theory is: stress goes down, production goes up, yada, yada, but the list beside me on my desk keeps me from roaming too far in blogland until my work is done.<br /><br />I also took evening courses on business while working full-time when the kids were little. The house probably suffered the most, but we did survive.<br />D.G.
