Seek Out Passive (and Proactive) Ways to Be More Deliberate
All it takes is a full water bottle.
“Sorry about that. Things have been pretty crazy lately and I kind of forgot about it.”
That’s how you respond when your friend asks if you read the book she recommended. Well, not just recommended. She actually went so far as to have it signed by the author and then shipped to you for your birthday.
But you haven’t gotten around to reading it just yet.
So there it sits, unread, on the bedside table. Dusty.
Your Good Intentions
The funny thing is, you really do mean to read it. It’s written by your favorite author. It’s even signed by her. So cool!
Time just has a way of… I don’t know… getting away from you. You aren’t setting out each day determined not to read the book. It’s just… not getting read. But while the pages of the book have yet to turn, the pages of life continue to fly by.
And now, some eight months after receiving it, it’s been sequestered to a nearby drawer. Out of sight, out of mind.
You’ll get to it eventually.
But will you, really?
