This week flew by and I’m not quite sure which thoughts occupied my mind the most — I need to have a better process for collecting and compiling my fleeting thoughts throughout the week. Only if we are able to highlight or bookmark our own minds!

1. I welcome JOMO with open arms and the article helped me to realize that I don’t need to respond to every email and request in a timely manner and need to be selfish about my time.
