Confessions of a “Serial Doer”

When my friend Kelly asks her husband Don why he has not made more progress on the myriad of projects on his “to do list, he informs her he is not very good at multi-tasking. Don, in fact, is a self-proclaimed “serial doer ,someone who completes one thing at a time.

I can now explain the conspicuous infrequency of postings to this blog as a result of my strong tendency toward serial doer behavior. My mother’s insistence on doing “first things first probably contributed to this tendency. (Although I’m not certain I can even use the phrase “first things first anymore because Stephen Covey trademarked that expression years ago , which is a whole other topic , but I digress). Now don’t get me wrong, I can multi-task when necessary. However, the serial doer approach is my preference.

So for the last few months I have been taking care of one thing at a time in my relocation back to Minneapolis. I won’t bore you with the details. However, I’ve been collecting material for possible posts and I am back in blogging mode. I’ve also had a chance to update the site so it now has a new look. And for those subscribers who are interested, you can follow me on Twitter by going to www.twitter.com/DrJohnDrozdal. See you online!
