Hey Lily, how’s your training going? Have you been able to keep up with your workouts this week?

Not yet, but I’m planning to fit in a workout later. I really need to burn off some of this stress.

It’s hard to do that sometimes, but you’ve got to give up the small tasks to focus on the bigger picture.

True. I think I’m going to call it a day early today. I’ve got to wind down before the meeting.

Sarah:

Good plan! Don’t forget to wrap up your work before you leave. You don’t want to leave things hanging for tomorrow.
