The On-Purpose Person

Hi Steve,

We were talking about being too busy and what to do about it.

Remember - I said we could practice. I could ask you to do something
and you could say -
"Aw, shucks." - or - "Thank you for thinking of me. I'm sorry I
can't help you out this time."

Or, similar. Praise the person and let them down gently. Just say no
is unnecessarily brief.

We also spoke of organization and priorities.
I mentioned David Allen - Getting Things Done aka GTD.

And then I came across this fellow at http://zenhabits.net. I have
not yet begun to dig into it but it seems refreshing, simple, even
minimalist; a way to get things done without carrying around a
weighty set of rules.

And, I mentioned this book - here's the info. The book is in the
County library and you can call them up and have it delivered to Oak
Creek library.

The On-Purpose Person
Making You Life Make Sense
by Kevin W. McCarthy

I am having trouble finding out what to call this system for
determining the winner. The tennis people call it a draw sheet.

One sheet of paper for each category. The categories below are as
presented in the book. The book says these are guidelines. You can
change the categories: rename them as you wish, have more or less of
them, etc. Write down everything you want to have, do, or be in each
category.

• Physical/Health/Recreational
• Financial/Material
• Family
• Vocational/Career
• Social/Community
• Spiritual
• Mental/Intellectual
• Other

You've seen it before. Here it is again.

Then, one sheet at at time you will do a run-off ... What thing,
outcome, or result do you want more than another?
Then do a run-off from the single result of each sheet.

Just another tool for the set. Use as necessary. Once a year. Once a
week.

You can read reviews about it on Amazon if you have the time. http://

35th or 36th Annual Int'l. Hobo Daze

I was looking for the anonymous author to the essay called GET OUT in Seth Godin's The Big Moo.

So far can't find it. I will keep looking. Lots of sanity in that reading.

Lost in the mists of antiquity - it was '72 0r '73, i invented a holiday - Hobo Day.

And I've spent most of that time trying to explain it. Well, that time surrounding the anniversary dates.

Here's Christine Kane talking about her Adventure Day. http://tinyurl.com/2o63bp

The thing I like so much better about her holiday  over my holiday is that hers are once or twice a month.

And who knows what similar gems are waiting down in the comments to this post.

And - Google this: - myss duck club for another hint at Hobo Daze. It'll be good for you. Really.

A wonderful story about making a difference.
It's good for people. And, it's good for business.

It's not necessarily new unless you haven't see it yet.
