When I was reading some papers in my office that day, a patient came to see me about the stress in her life. She 21 all the things she had to do －one was to 22 －from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she 23 by not making her bed for two weeks. She was 24 , probably thinking I’d been raised by wolves in a forest. However, she went along with my 25 .
Two weeks later she went into my office ,26 . She had left her bed 27 for the first time in 30 years－and nothing bad had happened. “And guess what?” she said. “I don’t dry my dishes anymore, either.”

The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel 38 about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as 39 as your mother kept hers. 40 more of your time with want – to – dos instead of have – to – dos.
