As always, another home run, Craig. I read this and the “friction” post and they both spoke to me. This is why we get over annoyed at interruptions and people just being people…to make up for a lack of handling our business correctly. If we would stick to the game plan, do what we ALREADY KNOW TO DO, then life’s normal obstacles won’t be magnified. They grow in our minds because we cultivate the friction mentality. Thanks for all the sharing.

You are so right! Thinking of things that I put off instead of doing as rotting is such a great visual – sort of :0))

I will start thinking in those terms and see if it gives me a kick when I need one.

The biggest thing that I put off is bookkeeping and you are right, it is much harder and more stressful to do later.

Time, blood pressure, materials… People love the mix CDs that I give them. I kept putting some off, and found out that I had problems with the burning software, the label-making software, printing media, etc. Lots of anger and hurrying around, trying to buy some things, download others, learn how to use new software. If I had started sooner, I could have done it all with less panic and rage, and be on time, too.

Great post!! Love the apple analogy..It’s true, I put off things.. and then when I looked at something, it was, ‘Uhm, how do I do this again?’ (prompted me to start a How To section) or ‘Where is it?’ – stuff usually gets found, it may take a while though..Thing is, sometimes stuff does get done if one just waits.. So, how to differentiate these from those you’ll have to do anyway? Better communication with other people on the team (who might or might not do it if unprompted) seems one of the obvious things..
