One of the things that I do in those situations is to scan for, "Do I have some totally shouldless times?" Time where there are no shoulds, which is like some weekend where I can do whatever I want. So "Do I have some shouldless time coming up?" If not, and I imagine rescheduling things -- maybe it's a Monday and I'm feeling miserable about the upcoming week, and I'm like, "I guess I'm planning to work through this weekend. What if I planned to take one of those days completely off? How would I feel?" Pretty often when I run that check, the answer comes back like, "Oh yes, I feel way more motivated to work now, if I know that I'm going to get Saturday fully off,” or something. If that comes back as the answer, then I try and find some way to make that happen, which sometimes is more feasible than others. Helen To
