The Small Stuff Sweats Us

The post title is obviously a play on words from the best selling book, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. I got to thinking that, although I agree with the premise and advice of DSTSS, I also acknowledge the BIG power that SMALL things have on our days (the Butterfly Effect is at work for good and bad!).

So to get focused, you need to blast through some of the smaller things that are clogging up your brain cells and triggering your guilt mechanisms that say, "Lisa, why haven't you taken care of me?"

Multiply by 20 or 30 or 100 and it will seem like you have Sybil and her eight sisters and their multiple personalities inside your head talking at once.

In my focus book, I talk about using small bits of time to get big things done. The BIG things are often in the form of getting a mental monkeys off your back. Or getting one of the voices to stop chattering.

If each day, you obliterate a small list of these small things on your list, the big things will be able to have a stronger voice and better access to more of your brain cells.
