Fresh Insights on an Overflowing To Do List


Sometimes a change in perspective changes everything. Take this morning for example. Before the day even started, I felt overwhelmed with a never-ending To Do list. But rather than dig right into it, I putzed. I played games. I called a friend. I checked email. I read the news online. I complained to myself. I rechecked email.

Then it dawned on me ... wrong approach.

The torture of the tasks was killing me. I needed to look at my situation differently. At that moment, a question popped into my head:

Ideas were flowing. Good ideas. Ones that would lead to the results I wanted.
