a to-do-list. Since the July 5th summit in Cuyahoga Falls, I have started using a small notepad (again) to write down things to do. Things that NEED to get done. And things I WANT to do.

> 1. OBSERVE

As I "observe" something that I want to do or something that needs to be done,

> 2. DECIDE

I "decide" to do something about it.

> 3. INTEND

I then write down on my to-do list what I "intend" to do about it.

> 4. ACT

As I DO what I "intended" to do, I mark it off the list.

Then, at the end of the day, you see some of what you have accomplished. Everything probably won't be crossed off. Stuff happens to delay the process.

But if you keep up with the list (don't lose it) and you truly "intend" to complete everything on the list, you may be amazed what you can accomplish in a short period of time.

I know in my case the "paralysis of analysis" slows me down. I take too much time planning to do something, and never getting around to doing it.

Thanks, Hugh, for your simple formula: observe, decide, intend, and do.

Be blessed,

JDB
