Nanci's ~NOTABLE QUOTABLE DO-ables~

"Getting organized is what you DO before you DO something, so that when you DO it, it's not all mixed up."

"Overwhelmed? .."

Give Me Your Tired,
Totally Bogged...."

(c) 2008-11, Nanci McGraw

Give me your tired, totally bogged,
Huddled masses o' stuff all clogged,

Wretched refuse of your teaming...
Piles and piles of papers streaming.

If you yearn for relevant retrieval,
From mounds of paper upheaval,

Then note upcoming day and time,
This, neatly expressed in lyric rhyme,

So you can plan, and happily attend
And your home office situation mend.

DO-ers --- GET GUMPTION ! (Motivated to the Max!)

GOT GUMPTION?

It's an old-fashioned word for
"...get up and get going and doing!"

In today's terms, it means:

* Having a bias
for action
* Showing initiative
* Being a self-starter
* Taking responsibility
* Loving honest work

Lack of gumption is:

* Blaming someone else
* Thinking like a victim
* Waiting for others
* Whining
* Expecting something for nothing


So...

Showing gumption starts with our own STUFF.
De-cluttering, sleeking, streamlining, organizing your possessions, surroundings....making better decisions for using your time, space, and life is a great place to show off and practice using your Get up and GO, go...GUMPTION!
