The top row has all the social media I use each and every day. Easy access is key.
Everyday we see the piles, and the stuff we question why we still have it. And everyday we stall on throwing it out or donating it. Clutter is just that, clutter. It holds me us back.
What I’m thankful for is the one overlooked goal for personal organization. Which is not being perfectly organized, but to be very decently organized.
Between Vince Lombardi and Walt Disney (and others), we can conclude that aiming for perfection is the only way to start. And that settling for excellence is as low as our bar should go.
Insight: Aim for perfection, settle for excellence.
Note: Sure, clicking through four other blogs may feel unusual, but look at what your mind, body, spirit, career, and hq get to: think about, smile about, and be grateful for.
What day is it? April 2 or January 2? It’s both. Work with me here. I’m writing this January 2nd. There is much work to be done this year – bet you were feeling the same 90 days ago too.
Have you accomplished in this year’s first 90 days what you thought you would?
A year from now, you’ll have wished you would have started today.
It started as a 100-day challenge to become a better writer, after a Father told his young son, “If you want to be a better reader, you should read a lot.”
So what happens yesterday? Not five daily blogs, but eight.
Recently, had a discussion and we talked about the future of books:
Books will be relics on display in Museums
eBooks will dominate
Kindle will destroy the publishing industry
The publishing industry will watch it happen
Librarians will lose their jobs
Unless they become Cybrarians
There were 177,000 books published last year
People think it’s hard to write a book
Authors think their book will sell many copies
Barnes & Noble will go out of business eventually
People get ready (Bob Marley reference)
“Books” will be written one day at a time. In public, for the public.
Books will be free. Writers will be poor. And writers will come to realize that there are far too many choices.
A whole new paradigm is being created.
One page per day, almost like reality TV. People will read blogs, and over time, they will have “read a book” and not even know it.
Eventually, this new paradigm will give way to the next.
