In high school, we came up with a new measure called the ETS, or the Estimated Time to Snap. This measure was a self-assessment of how long it would take for us to completely lose our mind due to dealing with the repetitive droid-like behavior of the general public. It also is an assessment of how annoyed you are at people, problems, or situations.<\/p>\n

There are different levels of the ETS that you should be mindful of<\/p>\n

1. If you work an 8 hour workday, your ETS should be at least 10 hours if you really like your job.<\/p>\n

2. If your ETS is anything less than an hour, you should go outside and take a break and cool off<\/p>\n

3. If your ETS is less than 5 minutes, its time to switch to decaf or take a walk before answering the next phone call.<\/p>\n

4. If your ETS is below a minute (or incalculable), it is not a time to be making any decisions.<\/p>\n

Self-calibrating and measuring your ETS is a silly yet helpful way for you to manage your emotions, and to let others know that you need a breather or some relief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
