  • Making Amends To Other People

    Stressful days. This morning I woke up suddenly because my alarm didn't wake me up. On top of everything else I had about three or four missed calls from my mom because I was supposed to meet her for breakfast. My last few days could be categorized as overwhelming. When there's a lot of expectations I place on myself and a lot of things to get done and I don't do any of them particularly well in those circumstances.
    So naturally I felt really bad about what happened with my mom and I proceeded to apologize and I am making an attempt to make it up to her somehow. As for work projects… I don't know… I'd like to say I'm not gonna take them seriously but every ounce of my being knows that's not true. In the stressful situations really the only logical thing to do is to not take them so seriously. But the truth is that's a lot easier said than done.
    So I don't know about today. I'm gonna keep on trudging forward and I'm and I hope that my emotional anxiety doesn't get overwhelming because it really doesn't help. So I'll do my best to keep calm and carry-on.

  • What To Do When You're Overwhelmed

    Stress. We all have it. I'm one of those individuals who is very good at stressing himself out simply by overexerting and overcommitting. Many times I will agree to do a task or project because at the time I have the time to do it. However when it comes time to actually going through with the project the time I had free vanishes.
    When we are in a position to have more on our plates that we are capable it is very easy to get overwhelmed. It's real tough for me to sit back and really dwell on this truth: we are only capable of accomplishing so much in a given day, week or month physically, spiritually and emotionally. When you're in the stressful situation it's always very difficult to remember that.
    What I try to do… And often on successfully… Is to remember that all I can do is my best in any situation given the circumstances. And at the end of the day I need to be satisfied with the work I did accomplish. I need to resist the temptation to ignore family friends and loved ones simply to accomplish more work. Work will always be there.

  • Late Nighters For The Lose

    Pulling late nighters always seems like a good idea at the time. I pulled a late night or on Friday night and started to debate on Saturday whether it was really worth it. Part of me says it was because I had an absolute blast on Friday hanging out with Chris and going to see the movie the revenant.
    Although it is hard to remember how fun it was the night you stayed up late when you're exhausted through the entire next day. I guess that's just part of the deal. Sometimes you got to do what you normally wouldn't do just to mix things up.
    Other than that one of my favorite things I did this weekend was play grand theft auto five with my buddies. We did the heists that they recently rolled out in the game and it was an absolute blast. It was a blast even though I was exhausted… But that second late nighter basically made me dead and useless on Sunday. So I think next time I probably will only do one late nighter per weekend

  • Favorite App For Finding Deals Online
    My Services And Free Downloads: http://goo.gl/dOJjWW
    In this video I discussed my favorite new app for finding deals online. As a person who is basically lived on the Internet for years and years it's very hard for me to justify paying any kind of price close to retail for just about anything. This is true whether the item is new or not.
    For years I've used craigslist as my primary location for hunting down deals. Craigslist is great for a lot of reasons but my latest favorite application is called Wallapop. The reason I love Wallapop is because it has a unique way of organizing the items that are for sale and getting you in contact with the person selling them.
    So far I bought a few items through the service and have been really happy with the outcome. Of course the best part is finding incredibly good deals because people's "junk" these days really isn't junk… It's mostly stuff they got from friends or family or on an impulse that they really never had a chance to use.

  • The Dangers Of Negative Thinking

    Do you lean in when projects get tough or you simply don't want to do it? There are quite a few projects that I just don't want to do… In fact I decide ahead of time that the project is going to be a nightmare and essentially convince myself to fail before I even start. Obviously this negative thinking is not a good thing and the best thing I can do is lean in and look at the positive aspects of the project before moving forward with it. That's one of the frustrating things about having a history with certain things is that we tend to develop a bias.

    Craig discuss his carving out time for family. It can be extremely difficult to make time for loved ones when you become time constrained. This is especially true after you have kids. One of the good things you can do is make sure that you carve out time to spend with the people closest to you. Craig also talks about the latest to Disney infinity characters that he got... I'm sure you're all really excited to hear about that.
