Despite what you were taught, sharing is not a good thing — at least not today.

In Detail

Despite what you were taught in grade school, sharing is not always a good thing — at least not right now. If you share your resources in your typically generous way, you are going to end up with the short end of the stick. If you give a little, someone might take a lot. It’s not that they are greedy, it’s just that there is a lot of uncertainty in the air. And when people are uncertain, they get panicky. And since it can be hard to say no, you shouldn’t even offer in the first place.

The Bottom Line

If you are trying to find a way to organize your stuff (or your life), get help.

In Detail

If you are trying to find a new way to organize your stuff (or your life), you should consider finding a professional to help you out. Whether you need a cleaner house, a better-fitting wardrobe, a balanced checkbook, or a more balanced outlook on life, there are people who can help. Going it alone is fine for some things, but expert knowledge is required for certain tasks and goals. Ask around. Seek out people you trust and find out if they have anyone that they can recommend.

The Bottom Line

An upcoming family obligation doesn’t need to worry you. See who else is coming.

In Detail

Are you struggling with deciding whether or not to attend an upcoming family event or obligation? Your family is important, but you know that it can cause you equal amounts of suffering and joy. Find out who is on the guest list as soon as you can, and make your judgment based on that. If there are going to be people there who you haven’t seen in ages, you should make a special effort to go — and keep those ties alive. They are more valuable than you realize.

The Bottom Line

Problems with coworkers can be solved easily if you remind everyone of shared goals.

In Detail

The workplace can sometimes feel like a battlefield. Other times, it feels like a love-in. Today, unfortunately, the former simile will probably apply. The good thing about having problems with coworkers is that you can solve them easily if you just focus on the common goal. You are all on the same team, so when conflict arises, help everyone keep your shared interests in mind. Once everyone stops taking things personally, they’ll be able to resolve their differences more quickly.

The Bottom Line

Do something that reminds you how capable and smart you are. Challenge yourself.

In Detail

Your recent achievement was wonderful, but it isn’t as recent as you might think it is. You can’t go on resting on these laurels for much longer. It’s time to pick a new challenge and conquer it! Roll up your sleeves and pick out something that requires a lot of physical work. How is your diet doing? Maybe it’s time to hit the gym a little bit more often, or a little bit harder. You need to do something that reminds you how capable and smart you are.
