Today’s coping tip is to make a list of new things you want to do before the end of the year.

Hmm, definitely some things to do, but what’s new? I’m not great with new as I like routine and familiarity. Here are a few aims:

• visit Portugal (planned)
• sand and finish a cheese knife
• try a new restaurant for date night
• new approach to coaching, asking more questions rather than telling setters what to do

I started to add a daily coping tip to the SQL Server Central newsletter and to the Community Circle, which is helping me deal with the issues in the world. I’m adding my responses for each day here. All my coping tips are under this tag.
