The easy answer would be “lots of places”, but that would not really answer the question. Have spent time asking myself that question, and don’t really have hard answers. What keeps coming to mind is “letting too many things get in the way of my morning.” Simply said, that means that first things have not been first.
It’s hard keeping your mind going where you want it to, when things and people scream for your attention. Whether it’s the dead battery, the piling up of “little jobs” that need to be done or just plain dead tired. All those and more were the “squeeking wheel” that tends to keep us (me) from what really needs to get done.
So, I’m back – “first things first” doesn’t really work. It’s got to be what’s important goes first.
