Details

As John Maxwell says, "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just a little extra."  I see it as the minor details.  As I'm looking at my checklist again, I can see that there is just one or two little details that I am missing.  I've fallen back into "comfortable".  For example, I do read every night, but not quite sure I'm getting in the full 10 pages.  Judging from where I'm at in this month's book, I'm pretty sure... NOT!  Actually, if you divide the number of pages by the number of days in the month, you get 3 as the average.  Not even half way to 10!!!  I have been listening to audio in my car instead of the radio to make up for not listening because of not exercising.  There are two problems with that game plan.  First, I should just be exercising AND listening to audio instead of finding another way to listen without exercising.  Second, I am not in the car that much, it takes all of 5 minutes to go to and from my son's school.  That's only 10 minutes of audio a day.  Not quite the same as 30 minutes uninterrupted.  I guess what I have been doing is better than doing nothing but it's not that little "extra".  I don't want to be ordinary. Who does?  So this week I am focusing on the details, that little "extra" in each on of my areas.  Come to think of it, I guess that's another definition for the slight edge, that little "extra", the minor details!

I'm living on the eighth day, right now!
