Day 4 - Email

-



Pedram suggest to set up som time for dealing with all those emails. Depending on the amount one get/send, he then says to set 30-60 minutes twice a day. And no checking on it in between.
Sounds like a good plan :-) And while you are making the changes, remove the email from your phone too

Even when I was working I never had that many. Oh wait, that's not true. My personal email was a problem, because my internetprovider didn't have a proper spamfilter, so I got around 100 spam mails every day.....sigh. I went online and checked what spamfilters were good at the time and found Spam Fighter. I think it costed 10-15$ a year, but it was well spent.

But these days, I have only a handful that I email with maybe once a month. I get a few newsletters that I signed up for. But I also unsubscribe again if I don't find it interesting anymore.
So for me, this is not a time consumer at all. And my phone is only for calling, texting and photos.

Oh and by the way, it is still pretty rude to check your email on your phone while you are in the company of someone. You are actually saying that the email is more important than the person you are with. Just a little friendly nudge there ;-)

My dad would have turned 72 years today. Happy Birthday, Dad !! And on this date, 6 years ago, my father in law, passed away. My father followed him 4 months later. Then my neighbour has a birthday today too, and she turns 40 today....lol I don't normally dwell on dates for when loves ones has passed away, but I remember I called my dad on the way home from the hospital, after my father in law had passed, to tell him the sad news and at the same time, wish him a Happy Birthday. But I believe that we only borrow the body we have each life and that our soul lives on, so to me, they are not really gone :)

Some of the side effects from the meds is extreme dryness in mouth and nose and all my senses are working overtime. That means I'm very sensitive to smell and test. Topping that with nausea, eating isn't always easy. So I tend to skip my meals and just grab something in between. Not the healthiest way, I know. I have the sweetest husband who has taken over making dinner when he is home and he makes sure there are leftovers put in the freezer for me for when he's away for work every 2 weeks. I haven't been good at eating the meals, but now that is also going to change. So far I've had dinner EVERY day since he left about a week ago :)

Day 28 – Time to catch your breath

Stay under your breath means not getting so far ahead of yourself that you need to stop for recovery. Today is about looking at your life and be honest about how you've been running it. Pedram talks about getting out of breath when you do too much too fast and the need to stay focused to prevent this. Again, check the workload, delegate, rearrange etc. Remember to do the same in your private life as well.
