This week has been an interesting week. Probably only because I always have high hopes for getting things done in my work life and my home life. Within the last few weeks, I have made the decision to retire again from full-time office work in two years instead of ten years. This is so I …

Monitoring Your To-Do Lists
The thing about to-dos is they never end. Amazingly, there's always one more thing to do. When I pulled this month's to-do on Monday, August 1st, I was excited. When I saw "start working on Christmas cards," I thought, yay, I can get a head start on the holidays. It will be a lot easier …

At Day’s End
Every morning we wake up with the idea that we will accomplish our to-do list for that day. But at day's end, how many of us can say that we achieved all of our goals? Can we say that we got all of our errands done? Did we make all of our calls or send …
Buckling Down on Goals
The thing about goals is that in order to get them done one must buckle down and tackle them. It's all too easy to keep putting them off. I'm too tired. I had a busy day. Visiting with family and friends is more important. I needed to do chores...or buy groceries...or pay bills. The list …
Good Intentions, Life Happens & All That
All week I've been meaning to call a friend. I hate forgetting. It's not that I really forget though. It's that other things become prominent in my mind. Things I need to do.
