Stressful period ahead

I'm stressed. Let me describe my stress: 1 presentation and report due this Saturday. 2 presentations, one report due the week after.

Marketing Research - My major quantitative survey is nowhere near our targeted numbers. Ladies, if you're Singaporean and between the age of 18-38, please click here to participate in the online survey. Please, pretty please.

The stressful thing is not the amount of work but the huge amount of thinking I'm putting into my projects. Sometimes I feel like my brain is malfunctioning and I can't answer questions. Many times I experience what psychologists like to fondly say, 'groupthink'. This happens when everyone just doesn't think critically and in the end, no much is contributed. I'm extremely frustrated cos I have to keep pushing my project mates for meetings and ideas and basically, getting work done. It's quite a bit of mental strain here.

Every student has 3-4 projects on their plates. So during meeting times, productivity is extremely low. But I don't think tiredness and lethargy are good excuses. The best present you can give yourself is to push yourself mentally, contribute to the meeting and be efficient so that we can all go home early.

Ok back to my IEA report...
