Apparently, there is a 4th edition of this book now. The one I read was published in 2000, so it was a bit outdated regarding technological advancements. But still -- no matter. It was a jump start for me to grab control of my “spiralling out of control” business tasks.
I found this book on the shelf of the house I was staying in with Steve this week in Winston-Salem, so I was motivated to finish it before we returned home again. I was unprepared for my reaction to its simple mantra of “Do It Now!” I started compiling focus sheets and project plans which pushed me on to tackle the annually daunting task of compiling all our tax related receipts and records for our accountant.
I don’t know if this book is all that compelling, or if it just hit me at the right time (January is the month to organize, right?). But it gave me the tools to jump start what has lived latent in my brain for the past year. From there, I subscribed to the Home Office Organizer podcast (in iTunes) and joined the No Guilt Big Goals 30 Day Challenge (just google it) all in an effort to get my life back on the right track of order and efficiency.
So my projects? Get my taxes stuff to my accountant by the middle of February and get my home office organized by the end of February. There! I posted it so now I have to do it, right?
Somewhere in there is the goal of finishing my book. (Don’t ask me which one -- I’ve started writing several.)
