Picking up lemons

Point

It’s easy to get run ragged with your shopping list of things to do.

Running from one thing to the next without a plan in an endless stream of busy-ness. Jumping from the fresh produce to the tins of beans to the meat counter and picking up lemons on the way.

Never quite finishing, never getting to the check out, never making any real progress as you tick off the list but get nothing of importance done.

Start with a meal in mind.

The point of it all.

As your shopping-list fills up, as it inevitably does, ignore (wait-list) what takes you away from your meal, and pick up (do) what’s on the way. Make it to the check out, cook the meal, feast on the energy.

And then, only then, go around for more.

Skippy strategy: It’s not an endless quest, it’s in service of sustenance and growth.
