The hardest part of getting work done is
The hardest part of getting work done has to be Starting! --while I was
tidying-up I figured maybe there might be one person who needed to hear that---mostly I was just listening to myself think. I have also done pretty well by *making lists* of steps and being content to just "make progress" and "chip-away" towards a step (.e.g. if I can't move "everything" from one side of the garage to the other, maybe I can start by moving just a few items). It's too easy to be "over-whelmed" by a task and not make any progress--I have found the list strategy I described powerful. Maybe because making a list, or refining one, require that one start thinking about it. As it were, I ended up noticing maple trees growing out of my eave troughs, so the rest of the evening was "wasted"-- but things happen. Some progress is better than none! I think it's interesting how well that software engineering principles lend themselves to WW! I think that SketchUp does do, but that's a subject for another thread (I'm currently chipping away at "The Missing Manual"). Bill |
