Working Smarter Is Harder

Maine Book Store - 2009

It can feel impossible. But, to get organized you have to work hard to clean things up and put processes in place for ongoing maintenance.

To stay organized, same challenge, but for a different reason – life gets in the way.

How are you preparing your children, or young relatives, to manage “life’s paperwork”? If you aren’t teaching them, you’re letting them down, really.

No, Seriously!

You Work Too Hard Or Not Hard Enough?
You Work Too Hard Or Not Hard Enough?

Yesterday you heard an antagonistic claim that being organized and not being organized require the same effort.

They do. Whether you agree or disagree, riddle me this:

A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction. – Rita Mae Brown

Physical labor and emotional labor both make you tired.

The difference is that one produces results. The other, worry.

No, seriously.

This May Sound Conceited

You're Either Making Progress, Or Your Not
You're Either Making Progress, Or You're Not

This may sound conceited, but I love the fact that I’m still writing five daily, differently themed blogs everyday. Sounds conceited to say, “The Internet’s Only Five-a-Day Blogger”.

All the critics say it won’t work, it will dilute your efforts, it will be too confusing for the readers, it will be too much work, you say the same thing over and over.

But remember, I don’t write to please the critics.

Are you willing to go against what people say is logical, in order to pursue a different way, a better way?

Are you willing to break the mold?

Or are you willing to take your regret to your grave?
