"Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates.

There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going

to be forward, backwards, or sideways. "

 


~ Writer, H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

 

Your action for today is to force yourself to finish a project you have been procrastinating on.

 

That means I'll be finishing the "Spring" Cleaning of my office today.

I work better when I'm surrounded by flow vs. clutter, don't you?

I like my paperwork stacks, I'm visual that way, 

but let's be honest, a clean desk is a more productive work space.

 

What is the project that awaits you?

 

Design an extraordinary day!

Thank You Barbara Todaro I first heard that thought provoking quote a few years back at a Buffini & Company  training when Brian was discussing the difference between a "busy agent" and a productive one.

Hi Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor e-Pro, CRS, RCS-D, Vets - fun quote!  I'll have that imagine of an octopus on skates whenever I'm puting off what needs to be done. 

Today is a hiking day for me, but I know the task I'll be tackling this evening--cleaning up the icons on my computer desktop! Such a simple little thing, but one I've been neglecting which is now causing mental chaos.

Thanks for the nudge!

Hello Thomas,  I know of people that put things off all the time.  I write up my list for the next day and start it with the item I hate to get done first.  I get it done then.

Thomas,

I love that quote.  It is so true.  A friend of ours managed athletes, and he had one athlete that was SO gifted, except he refused to practice his sport...A

Ah yes Ron and Alexandra Seigel - Gifts, Talents and skills.

Gifts are God given, often unexplainble otherwise. Talents and skills require work and practice to achieve excellence in their mastery...they are not to be taken for granted.
