my new motto for life is simplify. i love it. i have been reading alot of andy stanley, and he has a less is more outlook on life. it is really good stuff. our family, for instance, is only setting up 1/3 of our Christmas decorations, but our house looks great! we are focusing on quality instead of production and quantity.
so to go right along with this new outlook on life, in staff meeting today Rob, our teaching pastor, said that he heard of an andy stanley technique that he adopted called the top three, or something of that nature. what it is, is you write down the three things that you are going to accomplish tomorrow, and do those three things well. i love this!
i have lists upon lists of stuff to do that i just get lost in so often. the top three is a focusing technique that i am adopting for my life. but i am adding to it. i have the top three in proffesional and the top three in personal life for the day. when i do those things, and have done them well, i have accomplished my goals for the day.
so here we go. simplify. is that a bumper sticker? if so i want it, that and giterdun.

If you love Stanleys stuff, you have to hear the talk he gave at Willow's leadership summit, wow, it was powerful. I will try to get it for you and ship it out my friend. Have you read his new book on Communication? Wow, good stuff.
two thoughts on simplifying...
1) Getting Things Done is the best book ever on simplifying your life. (David Allen)
i guess one is simpler than two anyway...
