This is a good one...Getting Things Done by David Allen is a great read.....I cannot recall exactly where I read a recent review but I recalled I already had the book and had not yet "found the time" to read it!  (--who finds time?  when you find out, let me know..)..what I meant to say was...I had not "scheduled the time" to actually read it (it just sounded so great in the the bookstore).  Well, after sitting down and reading it....guess what, it IS  a great book and actually touches upon not only "organizational skills" which can sound so boring but reasons WHY not having and using those skills effectively can lead to so many other problems such as frustration,  self-sabotage, feeling overwhelmed, & flat out being overwhelmed.    It has already shown me how I waste a lot of time running from one project to the next----now, granted, I DO have a 3 year old so some of that (OK, a lot of that) is by definition, just gonna' happen--but I am extrapolating the information from his book and it is making the days go a lot smoother.  Here is a quote from the book which is worth remembering... "Anything that causes you to overreact or underreact can control you, and often does."  

so "react" appropriately with the right action steps (action is key...not just planning or making endless lists).... Here's one more... "Things rarely get stuck because of lack of time. They get stuck because the doing of them has not been defined."   I like that a lot. 

read on.....the book is full of quotes to break up the what could be a dry read but is very engaging!

back to work....we're remodeling another bathroom...this time without help....have a great day!
