The Happy Healthy Architect

   Taking time to think and relax can really do wonders for for the mind and body. When our mind is going crazy all the time thinking about school, homework, work, home-life, chores, and bills, we can forget about other important things and we can wear ourselves out. The Health line gives out information on how to relive stress and calm down. Sometimes you might not feel really stressed but our bodies can show us signs that we need to slow down and just take some time think and let it out.

   Time Management and Organization This semester of college I am taking an online business class. The goals of this class are to communicate effectively, Integrate knowledge and ideas in a coherent and meaningful manner, practicing time management and organization, and developing professionalism with self-direction and cooperation. I specifically noticed the time management and organization part of the objectives because you don't just use them in the workplace, you use them at home as well. Being able to balance work-life day to day is how you keep a healthy and manageable life. By being organized and setting time for each event in your life you create a stress free environment to take time and energy for better things like family and friends.

I can be very unorganized and my space isn't usually clean, and that's why I am trying to really focus on this with school, work, and...
