Keeping Track

So much of work is not doing things, but rather keeping track of what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, and what has to happen before it can be done. Spontaneity sounds great, but it turns out you have to do an awful lot of planning in order to make room for it.

What helps you to stay organized?

Aspiration

“If you trust in yourself. . .and believe in your dreams. . .and follow your star. . . you’ll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy.”
― Terry Pratchett

What has made it possible for you to follow your dreams?

Rebellious

“Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.”
― tom robbins

What bit have you done to advance humanity through being playful, rebellious and/or immature?

Hope

“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.”
― Barack Obama

What have you done recently that gave you hope?
