The system
Do your homework, come to class with questions, ask questions, listen to next lesson, do your homework, rinse and repeat. No wait… that’s my 9th grade algebra teacher Mr. Cauglin’s system… here’s mine:
Step one: Record any idea as voice memo on cell phone.
Two: at 9pm nightly, listen to voice memos typing them into “to-do” list on iCal.
Three: prioritize
Four: drag important ones into time slots on calendar
Five: set alarm
Six: sync to phone.
Phone tells me what to do, when to do it. Let go and let system. Become a slave to the system that you control. David Allen would be proud.
I just can’t figure out why I didn’t make a million dollars at 7:30pm tonight. It’s what I systemed to do. (yeah, I went there. I verbed “system.”)

You silly… you say you don’t know why you didn’t make a million, but I DOOOOO!!! It might have something to do with the fact that I know exactly what you were doing at 7:30pm and how flustered you were doing it. Ta-Ha!! Hmm… maybe it has something to do with the fact that you can’t tel the difference between my child and another??? Just a thought… stew on that for a minute, cause you’re so good at stewing.
