Re-evaluate my mental health status to prevent CAP from consuming my personal life.  Then sit down with a cup of Earl Grey tea (hot, of course) and read a book to shift my mind to more healthy endeavours.

I know, I read it, but after I do it the first time, as I have done all other suggestions I am still bored, I will repack them again!

So, it is time to repeat it!

OK, I'll add another couple:

- Move from being a consumer of CAP training products to being a PRODUCER of quality training products, by sitting down and drafting up a training plan based on goals and resources and material needed to get your people from where they are now to where they need to be for your missions.

- Then, sit down and start writing the material, putting together your classes/training events, and rehearsing.
