Hey Brad – Glad you’re still alive! Now that you got the flu, you won’t get it again!

Ken – My family got lucky. I can’t believe my son didn’t catch it from me, but my wife—since she is pregnant—received some medication from her doctor since she was exposed.

Beth – Congratulations on your journey to Financial Peace. I know you will get so much out of the classes. Stick with it and one day you will be free as a bird.

The Dad – Thank you sir! I feel so much better! The shortness of breath is still hanging over my head but I hope that goes away soon.

Chris – WOW! Congratulations Chris! Having a new baby around can be exciting! One of the greatest things I my life is that I am a father. It’s something that no matter how bad a day I am having, I can look to my children to cheer me up and make things all better.

Glad to hear things are on the up and up Brad. This time of the year is always the worst for me too. Hopefully the family didn’t catch what you had. My wife and I just had baby about 3 weeks ago and are planning to get the flu shot and H1N1 flu shot.

Wow, way to come back strong! Great post — it’s making me feel a little guilty about how little I’ve gotten done this morning.

Glad you’re feeling better, Brad, but we already knew you were a bad-ass and would beat that thing quick.

Cheers!
the Dad

So glad you are feeling better!
I’ve been enjoying your blog. You’ve got lots of great resources here which I am going to look into. I’m a list maker too.
I’m in the 7th week of FPU.
Just posted an ad on Craig’s List–selling everything that is not nailed down to fund an emergency fund. Then it’s on to the debt snowball. I’ve got a long way to go but I’m not giving up. Thanks for helping me to keep going!

Great to have you back!
Was your family spared from H1N1?
Looks like you’re already caught up with everything you need to do; your productivity is out of this world.

I am glad to be back, now I just have to get caught up, especially in my class. I received some new books so I should be taking a nose dive into some new stuff.

Glad to have you back at it. Going to be exciting seeing your creative mind flowing again.

Looking forward to that debt free X-Mas post

Thank you Kelsalynn!! I like that. It helps you “hit the ground running”! There is nothing less motivating than having to create that list of things to do, as soon as you wake up.

CONGRATULATIONS on becoming debt free btw! That is most excellent! I commented on your post, but it is not showing up yet. I hope I sent it through correctly.

I’m glad you’re feeling better and had a productive day!

I always spend the last 5 minutes of my day at the office making a to-do list for the next day. It helps me hit the ground running as soon as I get there each day. And it’s one of the things I recommend to my employees who have problems with time management or prioritizing.

Isn’t that the truth Dee? Fear paralyzes the best intentions. I was not able to accomplish everything on my list today, but the fact that I accomplished most of it makes tomorrow a whole lot easier.

THANKS! I NEED TO HEAR THESE THINGS. I AM A DOER BUT FEAR SOMETIMES CRIPPLES ME AND I GET STUCK. NOT TO MENTION ALL THE SETBACKS THAT TEND TO WEIGH YOU DOWN. THANK YOU FOR BEING REAL IT GIVES US SCARED LITTLE RABBITS COURAGE!!

Thanks Wendy! I am glad this helped you out. I know it sure helped me out today. I am a perfectionist too and sadly I am bad at procrastination myself. I need to re-read the book called Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

This is exactly what I needed today!! I just started a new business, and I am having a hard time motivating myself to do the things I need to each day. I suffer from perfectionism which leads to procrastination. I will try writing my goals for the tomorrow before I go to bed tonight- and not beat myself up if they are not all completed!!Thank you so much!!
