It works best for us this way.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002494263535687958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15843479.post-1148096510922827952006-05-19T20:41:00.000-07:002006-05-19T20:41:00.000-07:00As I read your post I thought of Paul Grapham's es...As I read your post I thought of Paul Grapham's essay on good and bad procrastination:<BR/><BR/>http://paulgraham.com/procrastination.html<BR/><BR/>He makes the point that to be an effective person we need to learn to put off the less important stuff. <BR/><BR/>At times the right answer is to not clean the house and focus on the more important things.Henry Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097237237859928969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15843479.post-1148094275085746112006-05-19T20:04:00.000-07:002006-05-19T20:04:00.000-07:00>Whatever they do in life, I want them to realize ...>Whatever they do in life, I want them to realize that the >pace will and ought to vary when a loved one is ill, a >new one is born, a little one reaches a new milestone or >an older one gets involved in a new interest.<BR/><BR/>Excellent post, as always, Willa. It makes sense that we should adapt and take a step back during certain times and seasons of our lives.
