Send them to me! Second, I make time for me at work when things are really busy by doing some of the things you mentioned, GhostGirl. I take 15 minutes for lunch, to actually eat. I can surf the web, but I have to eat and just read a couple of articles on a yoga website. Also, I've started closing my email "Notify" thing so it doesn't contstantly distract me while I'm working. When things are busy, I also put my phone on "Do Not Disturb," and all phone calls go straight to voicemail. One more thing: I get my meetings and confabs out of the way in the morning, preferably before 10am. That gives me the rest of the day to just Get Stuff Done. First of all, GS cookies are NOM!

Take them to work, and leave them there, or give them to your kids (if u have any, that is) to take to school, or to the hubby to take to wherever he goes, meetings, etc. Ack! I once ate two boxes of trefoils in two days. And I didn't even like them that much. GG - oh my god, you have to give those GS cookies AWAY!

I need to make time to exercise, if only I could get up the energy. ;-) My parents sent us14 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. For the first time in my life, I think I actually have butt spread. LOL, Hafidha. :-)

I find that unless I have a clear idea of what I need to do written down....I do nothing. :) Nice post, and see how you are modeling appropriate behavior for those you supervise? It is really a superb strategy for just about any management (children, adults, rodents). And there's no way you emailed me 600 times in one day.

Sorry; off-topic, but I am in a goofy mood. *giggle* When I read this, ” … I get home to hubby and his thawed out chicken” my eyes saw, ” … I get home to hubby and his thawed out children.”
