QUOTES FROM CHRISA

• “Keeping in mind that there is a spiritual or emotional component to that. So really being in charge of your energy going into something begrudgingly is just going to make the experience suck for you, not just for everybody else.”
• “People usually perceive time as if time is their enemy. I do believe I work better under pressure. We tend to not disappoint other people. We all need certain steps to our day, especially when you are starting off in a new relationship, giving yourself an incentive. Human beings don't really understand the impact of their behavior, like, get over it.”
• “What ends up happening is because human beings are social animals and we don't want to let other people down and we care about not being embarrassed or humiliated or looking bad, or failing in some way, we tend to not want to disappoint other people. So, procrastinators, we'll get everything in at the 11th hour, especially if we're working on a team or working with colleagues. We're not going to disappoint our colleague and not get something in.”
