A Vacation Attitude

[Muluck]

[align=center]I get more done in the week before I go on vacation than

I do in the previous month.

 

Why?

 

Because I am very focused. I know exactly what must be accomplished before I feel comfortable leaving for vacation.

 

Why can't we have this attitude everyday? The reason is that we know we will be there tomorrow, and we allow, "time wasters" to creep into our day and steal our time. We can be very busy but achieve few results.

 

We need to develop a "vacation attitude" every day by being focused on what we need to accomplish by the end of each day. By focusing on results, we are spending our time wisely. By developing this attitude, we dramatically improve our performance, our productivity and our value to others.

 

Eliminate time wasters by adopting a vacation attitude![/align]

This topic is wordy and boring and doesn't make the intended point as well as Pink Floyd did (on a more macro scale):

 

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

 

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

 

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again.

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

 

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone, the song is over,

Thought I'd something more to say.

“When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.”

 

Saying things through the words of other people is rather fun.

But on that note, you are correct Pink Floyd always had his way with words.
