From Gus – The Possibility Hunter

Ever had one of those days? Naturally. How about consecutive ‘those days’? Yep. Then on the third day you wake up and the kids’ parrot is dead, asphyxiated on a half digested USB drive, the only record of your toils in the last two hellish days… and it’s your responsibility to tell young Lily that Pedro the Cockatoo is dead. And it’s her birthday.

If you’re like me your day becomes all about scrambling to undo the disasters that have beset you while turning around your run of bad luck. But – shock, horror – your rationalization doesn’t work and being proactive is just hard work.

So what to do? Let me suggest you check out these blogs:

1. Organize It (Practical advice on personal development)

Here’s a simple, to-the-point list of how to get over one of those days. Sadly, there are no avian CPR tips.

2. Life is a Journal – Self Help for Lazy People

This might help you keep it in perspective and move on. Have you ever seen someone blow a gasket over something that doesn’t matter? Well, in the darkest hour of that third consecutive bad day, there’s a good chance you’re that guy.

Happy coping, readers.
