You have a choice. Your school can use the last two weeks of the Fall Semester to do traditional things. Lots of parties, concerts, reviews, slowing down and counting the days until Christmas Break.

Or, you can excise the fluff and go hard. Teaching forward and maximizing every instructional minute available.

Choice One is the path of least resistance and is the most commonly observed. It provides short-term stress release, fun and the illusion of productivity.

Choice Two requires sweat and determination. It is infrequently selected. Even though it leads to long-term stress release, success and is actually productive.

Think. Work. Achieve.
