Just because you have to do some work today that doesn’t mean you can’t have a ball while you’re doing it! Let your creativity drive your day, and it will help you arrive at some amusing combinations, unusual arrangements, and interesting thoughts that will help the day go faster and be way more fun. Simple things that you do a little differently will help you have a more intriguing day.

So this one didn’t work out. Believe it or not, this has nothing to do with you. That sounds funny, but when you think about it, you don’t really know much about this person. So be kind to yourself and let it go.

Something seems more challenging than it really is. Your partner is focusing on the minutiae so try to calm him or her down. They need to see the bigger picture. It will definitely blow over in time.

Your regular schedule, your routine obligations — you’ve put everything aside to address one pressing issue, and yet you can’t manage to make a dent in it. Don’t get upset. Even without any evident progress, it will have been worth the extra effort.
