Quote of the Week: On leaving things undone

Do we really fritter away 20% of our work time with unnecessary work?   What if we left that undone?  

Then maybe we could get around to some of the other stuff we never get around to doing.    You know…the stuff that’s been on our to do lists for a long, long, long time?  Some that’s been started.  Some not.  But either way – these things have a way of weighing us down with worry, guilt and feelings of incompetence.   In some cases – that’s good because it serves as a kick in the pants to get er done. 

But in other cases – does it really need to be done?
