Getting it all done

Getting it all done. Do you ever struggle with this?

I do! My to do list continues to get longer, and my days feel like they are getting shorter.

 

I recently read a helpful post by Jon Acuff.

In order to survive, I came up with a 5-step secret to getting it all done. If you are busy too, feel free to use it:

Step 1.

Admit that you can't possibly get it all done.

Step 2.

Give yourself the grace to accept that as reality, not failure.

Step 3.

Do the things you can do with your full attention.

Step 4.

Celebrate what happens during step 3, instead of obsessing over the things you didn't get to.

Step 5.

Repeat as necessary.

  

   

Opportunity

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."

Funny on Sunday

Bruce was fast asleep in his bed at 3:00 am, when he heard an urgent knocking at the door. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes he made his way to the door. "Can you give me a push?" asked the man at the door. Bruce looked at the man, thinking he looked a bit drunk and slammed the door. 

Bruce went back to bed. "Shame on you", said his wife Sally, when hearing the story. "You remember on our vacation how our car got stuck in the middle of the night and that man helped us, go out there and push his car. "

So Bruce trudges back out of bed, opens the door, and calls out "OK, I am here to give you a push, where are you?"

I am over here in the back yard, on the swing." came the voice.

Happy Sunday!
