There's risk, calculated risk, crazy risk and totally-insane-stupid-risk. Then there's the situation you're faced with at work on the 1st. What category does it fall into? Is it more, 'I'll drive to work instead of taking the bus because I think I won't get caught in traffic and if I don't I'll get there slightly earlier,' or is it more 'think I'll skydive with this umbrella and see if it works'? Categorizing this situation is going to help you know how to react. So get classifying! Try a new approach on the 5th and 6th. Heck, try something entirely new! Deep breathing helps just about every situation, so get inhaling and exhaling in a major way on the 10th. You need help to get this project done on the 15th and 16th. So get some interns to pitch in. You figure out the key to a puzzle on the 19th and then you find a new key on the 20th. You find yet another key on the 21st. Yes! You're almost there. Exercise is the best form of stress relief. So exercise on the 26th. Think creatively on the 30th. Why not pull out the poster board and the pens and the paste glue and put together what you'd like to see the company do next?
