I like to pride myself on having a pretty good work ethic. I usually finish before the deadline of whatever it is I'm doing. I work hard. As long as I have the appropriate snacks within reach.
But recently, I picked up a project with a stern deadline, one that I will have to work double--no triple hard to meet. So I'm stressing out a little. And whining. Just a little. But still.
Thankfully, my smart friend Ali had a few excellent posts recently on just this topic of time management, and getting stuff done. In short: no whining. You wanted this, right?
Right. So get to work.
And have an Oreo while you're at it.
