My philosophy has always followed the simple rules you mentioned, in particular, trying to slove problems and situations at night when you should be sleeping. When trying to go to sleep, and you can’t because of things on your mind, ask yourself, “Is there anything I can do about the situation at this moment?” If there is get up and do it, if not learn to turn it off and sleep on it. In many cases you may wake with the answers. Worry and stress are killers. I am glad to see you learned this lesson early in life.

When my brain remains in gear when I'm trying to get to sleep, I focus on breathing in and out, slower and slower, and sooner that I usually expect it, I'm asleep. Great post!

Fantastic take on the busy-times, and how to respond to them! Living 'in-the-moment' actually helps to promote a stronger, sharper focus on what it is that we are really experiencing and, ultimately, we do a much better job of whatever it is we are busy with. I really like your wind-down ideas. You seem to have found the magic recipe. Thanks for publishing that recipe for all of us to 'get-cooking' and celebrate the busy-times - instead of burning out. (and maybe burning the supper at the SAME time!) Great post. C Here, here!
