Open Up


Hello Wonderful.


The great Maya Angelou once said, "Nothing will work unless you do," a concept we try to apply to relationships, health, intelligence, and bringing to life our grand vision. But not all work is the same. It's easy to fall into the trap of believing that work means busyness. We dog paddle through an endless sea of To Dos even though, from past experience (read: major fails), we should know better. Last week's newsletter titled Focus. Clarity. Now, we linked to the epiphanous book Great At Work and the concept of 'do less, then obsess.' Now, there's a To Do we can get behind.
