Prepare to turn tedium into tolerability when it comes to your work. The great transformer = balance. Watch how the annoying little details of your daily grind shift when placed in the correct proportion of your schedule. Pencil-in breathing exercises before a big meeting. Put a picture of an exquisite nature scene on your desk. Recite poetry like prayers after a long-winded work call. The stressful song of your daily routine might not be drowned out entirely, but it can be harmonized through scheduled bursts of loveliness.
