Have you ever noticed how some folks seem to get a lot done with little effort while other folks g barely get the bare essentials done? One camp seems to swim effortlessly while the camp I'm in dog paddles with our heads barely above water. Why is this? We all are blessed with 168 hours in a week but that is where the similarity between these two camps ends, my friend. Tim Challies helps those of us that are organizationally challenged. Step by step he helps us develop a plan with routines to help us navigate life much more efficiently and stress-free in his book Do More Better. His goal is to help readers be productive. He defines productivity as effectively stewarding our gifts, talents, time, energy, and enthusiasm for the good of others and the glory of God. He warns us about the productivity thieves that some of us know all too well: laziness, busyness, (which are within our control) and thorns and thistles (problems life throws at us that we cannot control but we can control how we react to them). Being mindful helps us react positively because we see possibilities instead of problems. (Check out Jordan Peterson's interview with mindfulness guru Ellen Langer who explains how 1 + 1= 1
