In continuing the theme from my last post, I've been dedicating myself to this time as a way to add a sense of accomplishment right into the start of my day--increasing the odds that I'll successfully manage stress & enjoy my day.

Here are things helping me maximize my productivity & stay calmer throughout the day.
