"tibit" about Chapter 5

     The title of Chapter Five (5) in the book, "PRETTY NEAT - the buttoned-up way to get organized and let go of perfection" (which was co-authored by Alicia Rockmore and Sarah Welch, from 'Get Buttoned Up' ), is:
     "ELIMINATE EXCUSES"

    Today's exert comes from page fifty two (52), starting with the first part of the second paragraph on the page, as well as all of the third paragraph.

   "So what's standing in our way? A little procrastination is certainly normal, but ... those darn buts quickly turn a little normal procrastination into permanent avoidance. As it turns out, when we make an excuse and repeat it often enough, it becomes a belief. The belief then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. ..."
  "Excuses are like stop signs; they halt your progress and become a temporary remedy to your problem. Only when you eliminate the excuse and take responsibility for the task can you find solutions to your organizational buts."

    How I wish I could state that none of the above rings true for me. ... "Lord, you had me agree to doing this book for a reason, didn't you?" ...

        So-o-o readers, what organizational tip or short cut do you have that your willing to share today? It does not necessarily have to coilate with today's topic. We just ask that you PLEASE leave one! o;-p  Remember - "The reader who submits the best tip ("organizational tip or short cut") across all participating blogs will also win $250.00."

    Reminder: use the "link" in the side bar of our blog, to go back to the original posting which introduced this book and the connected drawings. Then, leave your "organization tip or short-cut" (comment) under that posting. That way it will be counted for our overall number, and they will be sure and find it to consider it in drawing #2. :-)  Thanks!!! ;->
