I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.  ~Jennifer Yane

    I have no tips, but I just wanted to say I love that line!

      This is especially the case whenever you take a day off to relax. Re-entry seems to take away any gained benefits. Sigh.

    I sure have felt like that before, but have never thought about the days attacking me at the same time. Perfect.

      I thought it was the perfect way to describe my packed e-mail inbox after a long weekend away. :-)

    Haha! Right! That seems to be what happened to me today. I don't really have any coping mechanisms. I usually panic/lose sleep/work like crazy til I catch up. :D <3

      I don't know about you, but I work very inefficiently when I'm in panic mode--I get scattered. I mentally know I should work through a list one item at a time, but don't seem to do that often.
