Totally agree with you Ryan. Also, try to think of a happy/funny moment everyday you wake up in the morning, it will make the rest of your day a lot better :) It works for me!

I like to call this my “doop-dee-doo” approach.

Or, to quote a smart fish, “just keep swimming, just keep swimming…”

Hi Ryan,

This is off topic but…

I once saw a photo of your offices, and it looked like you were using an interesting arrangement of the work space, whhere everyone was sharing a space, almost like sitting around a family dinner table. In a future article, please consider writing about this and the effect such a layout has (if any) on productivity. Sorry if you’ve done this and I missed.

I believe that building up anger and frustrations isn’t good for anybody, no matter how much you tell yourself that it isn’t bothering you.

True, but some things just aren’t worth getting mad about :)

I agree with the Arne above. I’m also pretty chill and easy going, but when I do get mad, it does feel pretty good. (I only really get angry a few times a year :)

I believe that building up anger and frustrations isn’t good for anybody, no matter how much you tell yourself that it isn’t bothering you. Being angry isn’t a waste of time; it’s much needed therapy. I just don’t let it last too long, or act on my anger. That’s what works for me anyway…

Hmm being annoyed, agitated and pissed off sometimes feels good. just know little padawan, there can be no light without shadows.
*laugh*
so sometimes being angry just help. get yourself a punching bag and let it flow. just feels as good as being just happy and thankful, all the time :-D

Great piece of advice, what’s the point of getting stressed over stupid things!

However, I would add to this by saying don’t go shopping in City’s/ Town’s at peak time, i.e. Saturdays. I’ve found this works a treat and makes life much less stressful (I think my girlfriend appreciates this more than me!) and gives me more time to do the things I enjoy; gardening & walking.

Ha, I love doing this when in traffic and people are honking and getting each other riled up (imagine that in the heat of the summer!).
