Time laying heavily

Time seems to be an issue for all of us.
 
Been looking for an issue to get politically active about but cannot devote the time to it yet.
 
I am picking up litter on the way to my favourite outdoor spot in Sheffield though.
 
Not meant to be facetious, just an example of doing something if not everything.
 
I guess co-ordinated activity by all of us, a little each, is the answer.

Just had one of those moments:

I was shaving, cos the ten-o'clock-in-the-morning-shadow had some grey in it.
 
I was thinking about something else (my nephew playing ice hockey in Sheffield today) and I went to squirt the shaving gel into my hand.
 
I was holding it the wrong way round and it hit me in face... Happy days.

7 habits

Covey's 7 habits, over 10 million copies sold (and counting), so shouldn't be news to anyone.
 
Only one approach of many.
 
Indeed having only one probably isn't sensible...would be a protocol rather than a flexible pathway.

 
 
Private victory
  • Be proactive
  • Begin with the end in mind
  • Put first things first
Public victory
  • Think win/win
  • Seek first to understand, then to be understood
  • Synergize
Renewal
  • Sharpen the saw

Variation on them others

...adapted from Plato and a Platypus, Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes, Cathcart and Klein:

Tom: Ed, I'm calling from the motorway on my new mobile.

Ed: Be careful, Tom. They've just said on the radio there is some nut driving the wrong way on the motorway.

Tom: One nut? Hell, Ed, there are hundreds of them!
