Making better use of the app
It's tough to keep the discipline of using the app, even with the reminders. I'm super busy at work these days. We have a major milestone coming up and my team is crucial to the outcome. I'm feeling a lot of stress and anxiety. Reviewing my entries in the app helps, but I feel like I don't have the time. What I'm finding is that it helps if I get away from my desk to review my entries. For some reason it's easier for me to do away from my desk. It's probably because there isn't a computer screen in front of me with work waiting to be done. Also, I don't want people to think I'm playing on my phone when I should be working. Getting away from my desk and reviewing my entries helps in stressful times like these. Let's see if I can remember this when the pressure is really on.
