| Ineffective: | Effective: |
| About two hours of fiddling with USB ports and reinstalling software for my Visor. | Doing a soft reset. Pip! and it worked. |
| Two months of car worries and anxiety. | The expected phone call from the donation agency. |
| Thin socks in new Doc Martins. | Large adhesive bandages and a paper towel. (One trip to RiteAid and we have a more sophisticated solution, which might be effective too.) |
| Carrying rolls of film from the Chinese New Year Parade around with me during lunch. | Getting a sleek new haircut with minutes to spare before the parade. |
| A carefully planned production schedule with plenty of flex room and clear review cycles. | Emergency-mode chaos to meet a deadline pushed up a couple of days. He's just the CEO, what's the worry? |
| A weekend with lots of time to do get things done. | Monday evening after 11 with a meeting early tomorrow. |
