One small step is not just much more than nothing, it is infinitely more. (Clement)
And the task that seems infinite is finite, even if it seems big.
Help me find the courage and faith to start and to keep going.

Studies show that positive employees outperform negative employees in terms of productivity, sales, energy levels, turnover rates and healthcare costs. According to Shawn Achor, Harvard researcher and author of "The Happiness Advantage," optimistic sales people outperform their pessimistic counterparts by up to 37%. In fact, the benefits can be seen across industries and job functions. Doctors with a positive mindset are 50% more accurate when making diagnoses than those that are negative.Today, a few forward-thinking companies are investing in the happiness of their employees to drive innovation and boost productivity.

READING FOR TODAY:
Setting Priorities
One of our slogans is "first things first." We cannot have or do
everything; we must set our priorities and choose what means the most to
us.
Each of us needs to spend quiet time searching the inner self to determine which people, which
activities, which tasks are most important. The results may surprise us.
We may find that we are spending too much time with someone we really
do not enjoy, preparing complicated meals which no one needs, working at
a job which we dislike in order to make more money to buy more things.
Do we really need the things? Do they enrich our lives or are they
merely impressive?
Because I am a compulsive procrastinator, abstinence is the most important thing in my
life. Without it, I do not enjoy other people, I do not like myself, I
do not work well. If abstinence does not come first, everything else
suffers.
May I remember that abstinence is my number one priority.

MY BASICS:
checking in;support calls(1x);affirmation; gratitudes;reading;check calendar; plan to plan;email my 3 most important tasks;voicemail;billing from prior day/declutter prior day's email; exercise #1; manageA; manage D; use timesheet and timer; if mood gets down do exercise #2
POST-SCRIPT: Didn't exercise and that made a stressful day harder to take. Had 2 exhausting, stressful days in court. 3 days in a row of no exercising means I started eating poorly, skipping meals, etc.

Journey 9 am long weekend
I have a 4-day weekend! I'm taking today off and Monday is a holiday. Saturday I'm having a post-bday, post-Valentines day party. I've been working every weekend lately so I have lot of food shopping and house cleaning to do, but I have plenty of time to get it all done.
I slept until 8, and I didn't really mean to sleep that late, so I feel like I'm behind already. I'm going to stop feeling like that right now, as I have plenty of time to do everything I want to do and get some R&R for myself too.
I'm going to make a todo list and schedule for the day now. I'll check back in when I get home from the grocery store because I always procrastinate putting away the groceries :)

no guilt!
It's a long weekend, so just enjoy the luxury of having been able to sleep in! :-) ENJOY!!!!
I did not know
I did not know that someone else was going to start a trend. The next time, I will wait and see if someone else will start a trend before I start the trend for today.

No, don't wait, I love it ,,,,,,,,,,imagine an excess of productivity.I hope it is contagious.
yeah no problem
a technique to help this is to check if there's a thread started already, then start the new thread, and just put TBD in the body, and POST. Then the thread is there for other people who might be around at the same time. They can reply while you are editing your TBD into something more.
And yes, it is a valuable service to us that you start the threads. Thanks!
