To get it done successfully

If we are to achieve results never before accomplished, we must expect to employ methods never before attempted.  Francis Bacon

Today's quote reminds me a lot of the definition of insanity.  Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.  Duh.  When we see it in black and white we realize that isn't possible.  If we don't like the results we are getting then we need to change how we are doing things.  But so many times we don't see that in the heat of the moment.  We keep thinking that the method will suddenly be successful.  News flash: it won't!  Change your method and get a different result.  If that doesn't work change it yet again.  Eventually you will find what works and is successful!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
