As a college student I used to hate group projects. My distaste for these assignments stemmed from several experiences that I had.
It was virtually impossible to divide the responsibilities up in a way that was equal. Some member of the team always got to ride our coat tails and that made me a little bit nuts. On a couple of occasions my attempt to finish my project was stymied by other team members who couldn’t finish their portions in a timely fashion.
And like so many projects in life the speed of their work dictated how fast we could move to complete the assignment. Sometimes there was a legitimate reason for why they moved so slowly and sometimes there was not.
All I know is that it made me want to tear my hair out. I don’t like having projects looming over me. It makes it very hard to relax when I have things unsettled and that brings me to the next comment.
The thing that really sticks in my craw is when I am just swamped with work and find myself with unusable chunks of time. This refers to free time that is too short to use to start a new project but long enough to make me feel like I should be doing something.
Inevitably the agitation I feel fills me full of adrenalin. This only heightens the discomfort. So one of the things that I work on is teaching myself how to just let go and ride the wave. Sometimes the best that you can do is just let the current take you for a ride. Why waste energy fighting when you don’t have to.
Easy words to say. Easy words to write. Hard to put in practice.

Datingmaster,
Boychik,
Where have you been hiding.
clearly you are not a team player and you dont want to feel somebody is taking advantage of you. Sorry but many jobs would be closed to a person with your attitude. sorry for the truth.
I know.
I hate being unproductive. It gets on my nerves!
