What I Have Been Reading

Ugh! Have my fingers ever typed so slow and sporadic? I need a break from my keyboarding class and I wasn’t getting anywhere anyway. So I thought I would post a paragraph or two.

Recently I’ve been reading 15 Minute Home and Family Organizer by Emilie Barnes. It is a good book to help anyone get started at becoming organized. Here are a few quotes:



“I label the meaning of a goal as a dream with a deadline.”


There are two very important parts to goal-setting. Goals must include: A statement of quality (how much) and A date to complete (deadline).”


“Every request that comes your way doesn’t have to be answered YES. It’s okay to say NO. You need to control your schedule and not let others plan it for you.”


She also wrote a book called The 15 Minute Meal Planner. That book is next on my list to read!
