If your desk harbours mounds of papers, books, files and personal accessories, you may be adding unnecessary stress to your day. Set up a good filing system. Colour–coded files are especially helpful — they show you at a glance where something should go. Put items that must be looked at in a special folder or file.

Even if you don’t have a holiday or trip booked, get it sorted while you have time to avoid unnecessary stress, especially considering the recent delays in passport offices up and down the country. With long life spans of up to ten years, your passport might expire without you noticing.

For those of you have been in a shopping mall recently, I'm sure you've noticed the holiday decorations that hit the stores sometime after Flag Day in July. E-mail doesn't have to dominate your life, and you can put an end to e-mail being nothing but a huge time suck and stress-inducing activity, they claim. And the Freedom file?

Delete unnecessary files: With a computer, you can free up space by sending unnecessary files to the trash. How about all those “junk files” on your mental hard drive? Download: Many “must keep” files that don’t need to reside on your hard drive can be downloaded onto a disk. Do yourself a favour – delete them.

Tips From T. Marie

JANUARY 27, 2022

Why it was a wise choice: Storing my files in the cloud rather than on a physical hard drive or flash drive makes it easy to access them from my desktop, laptop, iPad, and phone. It’s also super easy for me to share files with others. I have 3 TB of storage space for just $20 a month and it’s worth every penny. #2 2 A Business Phone.

I have so much to do and my mind is racing that I need to rein in the stress. If you can't take a vacation, call in sick, take a mental health day, or personal floating holiday if your company offers those. Nuff said. 5) Make a plan/sit/write/figure it out Sometimes when I'm stuck and need a break, it's because I'm lost.

During the holidays, there may be less email and meetings and more time for planning and organizing. At that point, it’s overwhelming and stressful. During a board meeting prep week, for instance, email may require more time and attention for last-minute submissions and changes. Some weeks you may create a new procedure every day.

Especially during this busy year-end and holiday season you need to delegate wherever possible. This is a great time of year to organize your workspace and digital files. Delegate (at work and at home). Partners and children at home can certainly jump in. Once again, do not feel guilty for delegating. Organize your workspace.

Once you created the model, XCode will generate the implementation files for your objects. Say you have an object called Task in Core Data, Xcode will take care of the implementation files, so all you have to do in code is to write something like: task.dueDate to get the due date property of a task. Incredibly stressful.
