Tuesday Tip

Don't allow time to get the better of you.
In the movie "About a Boy" our hero (Hugh Grant) with ample time on his hands, divides his day into units to get by faster. You on the other hand probably wonder where on earth the time went. I was heating hot water bottles the other (cold) night, it takes 3 min in the microwave. This is what I did in three minutes.
Dried the dinner dishes in the drainer. Filled an ice tray. Sorted cereal bowls for the next morning, filled a glass with water and took it through to the bathroom, searched for and found the elusive cat (more about her later).
So when a task seems too big, break it up into units, 3 minutes today, maybe 6 tomorrow. Nothing is insurmountable. As a customer once told me (regarding his debt)
"you can't eat an elephant in one go, you have to do it slowly"
This took 4mins and 12 seconds, not even an elephant's toe nail.
