Ever just wish the world would stop for a day so you could catch up? Are you on overload? Not sure exactly what your priorities are or should be? Procrastinate on the important things that need to be done, because there is so much more urgent things that need to be done? You should read this! No matter how much we accomplish in a day, we nearly always feel a little guilt over what we didn't do. But do we really have more to do than the women who came before us? Maybe not. In Taming the To-Do List , Glynnis Whitwer exposes a seismic shift in society: from one in which most of us were proactive to one in which we carry the burden of having to respond --to every email, text, tweet, and message we receive. This creates a cycle where everyone else sets the priorities for our days rather than us directing our own lives. The result? We procrastinate, putting off the important stuff for later while we tend to the "urgent" stuff right now.
Learn to listen. Opportunity could be knocking at your door very softly. -Frank Tyger
