Ha! I'm sure dirt bikes help quite a bit. A supportive wife and family are also wonderful.

Task Prioritization

A calendar works great too Madonna. It's all about getting your thoughts down on paper and out of your mind in whatever format works best for you.

Coping with Stress

Yes, putting everything down for a minute can be a huge help Susan. Sometimes it's not best to work through stress but simply take a step back. When we do, we return far more productive than when we left.

Coping with Stress

I like your approach Kristin. So many instructors try to do too much for others. When they overextend themselves and don't take care of them, they eventually burn out. Taking time for you is an important step in ensuring that you'll be able to help others long term.
