“All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.” — Bruce Lee

The Super Bowl is over. January is over. Spring is still on the horizon. I’m looking forward to Spring (and Summer) and I’ve got a ton of stuff to do between now and then. Focus on the task in front of you–that’s what they say. They say that multi-tasking is bad now. It used to be an asset, a sign that you were flexible and adaptable. I can’t really be bothered about what ‘they’ say anymore. I do what works for me. Yes, I have plenty of room for improvement, but I’ve learned a few things that don’t work and to get things done I have to be honest with myself.
