I've worked my ass off over the past couple of years. Classes need prepping and panel discussants were yelling for papers. That bitter taste of panic kept me moving. I'm moving to a new stage now. My courses require very little tending, and the semester is nearly over. I have two papers that need polishing, but nobody is yelling for it right now. That means that not a whole lot is happening around here.

I need to find a way of working without pressure. I have various schemes including writing a morning checklist of goals, living on more than caffeine and chocolate, combining my excessive e-mail accounts, taking time to go for a run. GeekyMom, who is just a step ahead of me, has been writing about her transition to working at home. I'll probably be doing more writing about this later this summer. Which would probably not be the best use of my time. Sigh.

Question of the Day — What routines do you have that make you more productive?
