Tip # 68 Aunt Mable means well, but
Everyone has a doting aunt. They think the world of us and would give us anything in the world to make us happy including their used make-up kits, clothes and handbags. The generational divide in fashion tastes though is too apparent to ignore.
Dont postpone telling your aunt Mable that you dont want her fire engine red lipstick, her roaring 20s dinner gown and her leopard skin handbag. If you dont tell her now, shell shower you with more undesirable gifts. And remember what we said earlier about clutter. The procrastinating monster rears its ugly head in between the dark recesses of your closet thats looking more like a huge wasteland.
Your secretary looks up, surprised, as you bolt out the door.

While its good to sift through reports, its also a sign of procrastination. Youve taken detoursshort-cuts. Its a great way for them to let their students do the research work for their upcoming thesis, or get students to assist in that charity drive they do every year. And doing is synonymous to action, execution, implementation, carrying out all these convey the active mode as opposed to the passive mode of just thinking. So, install a permanent calculator in your brain and calculate how much that missed deal meant in terms of dollar value. |
