I had an interesting afternoon and wrote an article about it:

Going With The Flow

I also share 4 elements I've observed that helps you "stay in the flow".

What is your experience with the concept of Flow? Of being "present"? I'd love to hear about it!

I have another one.

Remember that rest is as important as work.
It's very difficult not to feel guilty about lazing days away (especially with my schedule and the way I was raised). In reality, I think, it's very important to rest, because that's the only way to shield yourself from burnout, which will be dangerous not only to your productivity but to health: both physical and mental.

Ice, you're preachin' to me! Cut it out, or I'll have to pass an offering plate! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

You're absolutely right. That's something I need to remind myself of quite often. I wasn't brought up that way, either. In fact, when I was pregnant, I was so, so exhausted. My Mom used to call up and act like I was some kind of lazy bum because I had to rest so much. (Which is highly unlike my normal M.O....when I rarely even take a nap!) <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

W3rd to that. I have a really horrible schehdule right now (6 grad lectures a week + 8hr days at work). You know what she said? "When I was your age, besides that, I cooked for the entire family and was pregnant with you."

[censored], I don't need to repeat nobody's mistakes!

I think we prioritize wrongly. Maybe we should prioritize vacations.

I posted my schedule on my site, and some rebel was just like my mom (read comments).

This woman is from BellaOnline, too, according to my tracker.

You mean this one:

Quote:
Obviously I'm new to this "whatever site it is" and I happened upon your whining about school and work. I had a 1 1/2 hr. commute to work, then another 1 1/2 to school after a 8-10 hr. work day (it varied) and 4 hrs of school and then 45 min. commmute home. My husband and I are in the same field and we were doing this together, and when I got home at 10:30 I made our lunches for the next day, and I am now on the Atkins diet so my lunch is not just a sandwich. Then it was take a shower and go to bed with long wet hair at 12:00 hoefully to get to sleep right away.then get up at 3:30 wake my daughter up at 4:00 get her sleepy self to the babysitter and drive 1 1/2 hours to work to make sure I was early enough to get in my 2 mi. walk before work started. Now granted this was only Mon. and Wed., but on the days we didn't go, we were so tired from the night before, we could hardly stay awake for our drives home. I am a construction Inspector and so my job is also sort of physically demanding, but I had study time in my truck during the day. I did this for 2 years. We did have summers off as well as a Christmas break. I guess the hours I was willing to put in are why I now make the really big bucks. So just shut up and Do It. Don't bother to respond, I don't ever plan on coming back here again, you all sound a little on the ditsy side anyway.

What does it mean if someone is from "BellaOnline"? Does that mean they found your website through your sig here? Since you've posted on many boards, that could be any random troll. (You'll have to explain if you have another theory cause I'm technically challenged!)

Demonsurfers response: (Fellow 7w8 yo, yo!)

Yo Rebl1965,

Had you come in and made a less offensive comment about how hard YOU had it, we all might've stood back and gone "wow, that puts thing in perspective a little, maybe we haven't got it so bad after all."

Instead, your *****y comment just leaves me thinking "what a farking ho", and maybe you should not have worked so hard because it turned you into a nasty ***** ..or were you just born that way?
:rolling:

I just don't get people like that.

What do you think? 6 or 2 at 8? <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I can see her IP (and referral info, i.e. where she came from) through the tracker.

You can totally see from his comment that Surfer is an ethic <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
