Triaging

I've noticed that when I get really, really busy, I start unconsciously triaging what I need to do and changing my usual habits. This last stretch, I've noticed that I've more or less stopped looking at the news and news commentary sites, except for a quick glance at the headlines. I just don't have time for the rest of the world right now, and I don't have the blood pressure to spare, either. I don't like feeling ignorant about what's happening in my state/country/world (hence I continue to glance at headlines), but it's something I can drop for a while if I absolutely have to.

I'm curious to know if any of you out there have any things you tend to change/stop doing when you get busy, and if so, what those things are?

Edited to add: ...and then sometimes I relieve stress by taking silly quizzes. I got this one courtesy of Uncle Andrew:
56%

So while he and I share the same alignment as The Tick, for some reason I'm allegedly more likely to survive a zombie apocalypse. I'm not sure whether that's comforting or terrifying. Perhaps it's just that I've actually read the Zombie Attack Survival Guide.

...I got this one from [livejournal.com profile] monkeybard. And (perhaps oddly, perhaps not) I got the same result in a different deck:


You are Strength


Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.


This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

Somehow I'm not too surprised. Now back to work!
