Rule number 2: If you've got so little time and so much to do, rule number 1 still holds true. Also, don't panic. Prioritize. The things that will produce more satisfying results shall be on top of the list.
This time around I will not be dismayed or be sad about people who only acknowledge my existence for what I can offer them. No respect displayed, none shall be reciprocated.
