important life lessons from emerson and kensey bear

i am a taskmaster.  give me twenty things to do and i can accomplish them better than if i had one project to focus on. i attribute this to the genius of high school planners. 

everything i know about the serious art of list-making stems from a planner and 2^nd period chemistry.  if it weren’t for those 3X6 school board issued bundles of entertainment i would never have made it through without falling asleep.   (i also would never have perfected my squid and octopus drawings but that’s a separate issue.)

i keep a planner to this day.  

i found this little gem on etsy.  modern technology does a great job with calendars but nothing will ever tear me away from the pen and paper method of managing my life.

 this is not to say that i don’t get overwhelmed.  there are days when i come home and would like nothing more then to put my neatly organized to-do lists right into the garbage disposal. 

so today, for my fellow working young alumni who need a good lesson in relaxation, i give you - a moment with kensey bear.

  and breathe.
