Oh shit, damn f***
: I said when upon stepping from the last step going into the basement to my studio
a sensation of immediate cold feet with a very emotive sounding:
* S Q U I S H *
24 hours later things are falling into place.
I rolled a joint and actually figured out how to use the Xbox controller ... there goes that theory my (our) generation had based on the sphere of influence seemed to be really resilient. Not surprising our Millennial children seem very strong with all the shit going on around everyone.
There appears to be incredible parallels going on here.
The how lucky you speech similarities:
What we heard: I had to walk two miles to school everyday after I had gotten up at dawn to collect the eggs, feed the chickens and milked the cows before I left to school even though there was a blizzard going on as I walked in three feet of snow (pre metric times) without complaining and being thankful even if my lunch was an apple.
My variation: I was up by 5 most days of the week, on the ice by 6 for 2 hours, standing out side the high school door waiting for my friends to arrive long before the bell. Then after school I was either coaching figure skating or working at the small town newspaper, which a lot was used for contribution towards skating coaching, etc.
What I like to think is that the same principle remains hidden unless you think about it.
1) you make a commitment and give as much as you can
2) you make sacrifices in order to improve
3) respect the money and honour your choices
4) always have your own backup plan for the bumpy times
5) you have to work hard because you’re only fooling yourself to have high aspirations with little sweat
6) if you don’t give’er, you may end up stuck
7) you don’t argue or complain to parents when it ends up harder than it looks
There’s always a few more wise words of wisdom from my mom:
1) In a marriage, you give 150% effort but never take more than 50 percent responsibility because there is two people where it is split equally in half
2) Be smart with money or else you will end up as a bag lady << the warning my grandmother imparted to my mom.
3). Family is everything, means everything and the most important thing ahead of money, education, or position"

Quora invited me to answer this question:
I’m a thinker. How can I also become a doer?
I am creative, intelligent, innovative and philosophical. But I find it incredibly hard to actually get something done.
How can I find a balance between doing and thinking? I want to become a doer.
I am both a thinker and a doer and wouldn’t say that I am more one than the other. However, I also admit that I am weakened by procrastination. Personally, I find the best way of resisting the temptation of putting off tasks is by creating a TO DO list, using tools like OUTLOOK or other relationship management systems when they are aligned with a customer.
I adopt my TO DOs with actionable items that are not vague. Take into account that broad task statements are less likely to be completed if you don’t factor that there may be steps to complete the item. Be realistic as to the timelines that it should take to accomplish the almighty check mark on being DONE.
As a thinker, you may want to start off by specifying what your desired outcome is. You can do this by framing the ultimate outcome with bullets on the steps to arrive at the final destination. For example:
| I found this to include after I wrote this article/answered question |
Complete 2016 taxes (desired outcome)
1. Purchase accordion file and label according to tax filings:
- Income
- Invoices
- Pay statements
- Investments
- Expenses
- Home office (square footage divided by total square footage=percentage of expense
2. Retrieve government forms
- Update mailing address
- Employer forms (received by mail or retrieved by company HR intranet site)
- Benefits (awards, trips, recovered expenses)
3. Organize receipts by allowable expenses
- Home office
- Percentage of square footage x mortgage
- % of insurance
- % of heating
- % of electrical
- Internet
- Home office telephone
- long distance expenses
- monthly fees x percentage of business use
4. Automobile
- Track usage throughout the year:
- Beginning of the year/end of former year auto kilometer/miles
- Business trips
- Miles/km to client office from starting point
- Purpose of visit/meeting: (i.e. introduction, networking, proposal, presentation)
5. Capital expenses
- Computer purchase: financing, payments, cash outlay
- Automobile: deposit, financing, lease payments
FINITO, DONE, ACCOMPLI!
- Identify what it will mean when you have completed the task
- How will you reward yourself when you are finished?
- What reward will you reap when you are done?
Hopefully, as a thinker, you can map out what needs to be done starting with the final destination in mind and then itemize the detailed steps.
Imagine the sense of accomplishment you will have as you tackle and check off those items. You can keep editing as you go along. Keep in mind to be flexible and fluid because it isn’t unusual to have new items surface as you are drilling down to finish a task. The beauty could be a template to follow for the next year: doing the tasks as you go along and when the time is right! That would be considered being proactive!
