My reader tells me that this is what I'm engaged in at the moment. The project has stalled a little though> I started reading Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and I've kind of got stuck.
Parts of it are good, parts of it are just kind of cringe-making, and there's a sort of taint of Christianity to the whole thing - not that I have anything against Christianity per se, just that it reminds me a bit of reading the Narnia books - you get the impression that Covey is not-quite stealthily-enough trying to tell you that this whole principle-centred living business would be a lot easier if you'd swallow the damn wafer already. Mmm, cynical today.
Anyway, I think the point is that the relevant bit of Covey's advice for me is to decide what it is I really want to do - Start With The End In Mind as he would put it. Some part of me really doesn't want to do that, and it's driving me slightly mad at the moment. Maybe I'll read Getting Things Done again, that one was much easier to deal with.
