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.
