Manage your stress carefully
If you are one of those people who knows that winter is a hard time for you, be careful not to undertake projects with a spring deadline. That is all too easy to do during the summertime when you may be feeling at your peak energy level. Resist it, and delay deadlines wherever possible, into the spring and summer when your energy will help you get them done. It is no coincidence that spring cleaning generally occurs in the spring.
