Abstract

This paper presents thirteen patterns that, when used together, we have found helpful to manage our busy lives. Recording these patterns in a format that others can both understand and use is the result of an assignment for a course on Patterns at Pace University with instructors Dr. Joe Bergin and Dr. Fred Grossman. Surprisingly, many of these patterns have general applicability to other areas of study. Good Enough, for example, draws from Linda Rising's same-named pattern for software development [1]. Others, like Just Start, can be found in various forms in other pattern languages (e.g. Coplien and Harrison's Get On With It [2] or Manns and Rising's Just Do It [3]).
