Karl: Yeah, I totally agree, it’s a real positive and thoughtful crowd of readers. Very cool . Thanks for all the comments here and in the other posts, guys! And thanks for the post Karl, simple but very helpful stuff that one can use every day. And I second the recommendation for Zen Habits, one of the best blogs out there.

Work can definitely be stressful on all of us at some point and time, but with the right organization and relaxation, the day could go by a lot smoother. Thanks again for sharing.

Hi Henrik,

I really like the suggestions you’ve offered here. What I’d add is along with staying aware of yourself and surroundings, take a break when it’s needed and use it to recharge. It’s also very important to communicate with your boss about his/her expectations for you so that it’s easier to balance your career and personal life.

I began living my life by these ideals several years ago, and these simple choices transformed not only my own private world, but also the world around me.

I believe that choice is one of our most powerful gifts and for me, choosing to live simply, completely and in balance is the best choice

I’ve been trying to concentrate on Number 4 these days and getting the important, or not as pleasant, stuff done first. It’s true in that once it’s accomplished the worry goes away with it. My practice these days is to list 2-3 things the night before that I need to get done. Those are the biggies. I email myself that list and when I get into work the next morning I’ll print it out and do them first. Once they are out of the way I can turn my attention to the smaller things.

I always love see such thoughtful comments. Henrik, you really have an excellent group of readers. They all made some great points.

I admire the various religions and dogma that have prospered in this day and age. It goes to show how timeless the Zen way really is. I would suggest that people read Zen Habits because his blog has many great articles.

It is always a pleasure to be a guest writer here. The energy is so appreciative and fun.
