You ever find yourself going through the motions at work, doing something routinely just so that the pile of papers on your desk will marginally decrease? That was me on Monday. Just trying to push through the work of grading papers....well, until I had my light-bulb moment. After having worked most the day and realizing I was barely making a dent and that I would be facing a night of more research paper grading, I had an epiphany. What I was doing just made no sense! The students would just be turning in another draft as I passed back the last one. So, I stopped. Man, that felt SO GOOD. I figured out justification for that decision, and just let the stress roll off my shoulders. aaaahhhhh
Joy is working smarter, not harder.
