At the end of this summer I spent three weeks visiting my brother and his family. Part of the motivation for visiting was to help out around the house. I folded laundry, drove one nephew to basketball practices, kept the other nephew preoccupied, etc. This doesn't sound like much, but hang around my sister-in-law, Lisa, for less than a week and you realize that her life is busy from sunrise to well past sundown. This was my introduction to the Way of Lisa.
Lisa doesn't ever think about doing anything. She does it. Nike should put her in their commercials. Just do it. Lisa springs from one activity to another - doing laundry, cooking, washing dishes, paying bills, shopping for groceries, taking her kids to the library. It's a sight to see, mostly because she handles it so effortlessly. Sure, she complains (only a little, no time) but watching her in action you realize that she might be the most effective human being on the planet. She would disagree, but she really is a master of every activity around her.
Now that I am back home, I've started to implement the Way of Lisa, and it is a blast, if only for the fun it is to dart from one activity to another. And you get so much done during the day.
So, just do it. Not like Nike, like Lisa.
