Seven To Do List Mistakes

2018_02 04 To do list

1. Writing The List In The Morning

Writing the list at the end of the day allows you to leave work behind and transition into personal time. When you have settled on what tomorrow will look like, you can forget about work and give your whole self to your loved ones.

2. Including Too Many Tasks

Limit your list to tasks you can realistically accomplish in the three to six good hours of work most of us have each day.  If you’re bad at estimating how long things take, write your best guess next to each item when you make the list.  When you complete each task, note how long it took.  This will guide you in making future estimates more accurate.

3. Including Someday Items

Daily to-do lists should be focused. If you have a big project that will take many days, weeks, or months, make a comprehensive project plan in which you break the giant task down into small, daily-do-able tasks.  As your daily schedule allows, transfer these small tasks one-by-one to your daily to-do list.  At the end of a day when you complete one of these small task, you get to cross it off TWO lists. 🙂

4. Treating Each Item Equally

If it’s not a priority, it should not be on your daily to-do list. If you have too many priority items, delegate. If you’ve got non-priority items you would like to get to if your day allows time, make a separate Round Tuit list.

5. Not Being Specific

When writing your list, be as specific as you can be, so that when you’re taking on a task on the fly, you won’t have to waste time thinking how to do it.  You can just get it done.  Big picture words like “plan,” “implement,” and “develop” should only appear in the titles of your project plans.

6. Using The Same List Until It’s Done

Every evening, go over that day’s to-do list. Pat yourself on the back for how much you accomplished and note where you under-estimated the time a task would take or where you should have delegated a task. Then make a fresh list for the next day.

7. Not Linking Your List And Calendar

Coordinate your appointments calendar and your to-do list so you don’t sabotage your to-do plans by forgetting how much time has already been committed.

Super Sunday Stuff

It doesn’t matter whether you plan to watch the annual spectacle that happens in a little while. To some it is the finale to the yearly season of large men beating each other up. My wife knows nothing about the game but watches for the commercials, which are the most expensive advertising spots in the medium. This year will be tainted by a bunch of rich black men whining about how stupid standing for our anthem is and how all cops are racists who shoot innocent black men in the back for fun. The NFL has a commissioner named Roger Goodell who just signed a 5 year extension with an annual salary of $50 million and a private plane for life. The owners surrendered to the players’ terrorism and will divert $100 million from legitimate charities and hand it over to grievance clubs like BLM and other socialist causes. It’s turned in to a bunch of crap. This makes it:



‘All I know is murder’
Everything about how far professional football has fallen and how the NFL celebrates the obscene, the vulgar, the dangerous, and the foolish will be on full display as that song blares as the Eagles take the field.
We do not know whether the Eagles will be kneeling prior to the big game as they have during the season. Or whether they will be following the dictates of their union which, after accepting $100 million from the owners, decided that white racism and police brutality were not so bad after all.
Meek Mill will not be there. He’s in the joint. The slammer. All for a violating his parole over and over and over. All for committing crimes over and over and over.
The Eagles don’t think that is fair. Don’t you know that crime is the new black entitlement? The mayor and district attorney of the City of Brotherly Love certainly do: That was their platform during their recent elections.
The Eagles and Meek Mill adopted each other, with the Eagles and other Meek Mill partisans selling eager reporters on one fairy tale after another of police misconduct, judicial corruption, and circumstantial evidence.

Super Bowl Preview With ‘Bad Lip Reading’

President Trump Tells NBC to Go Stick It on their Super Bowl Interview Request
HE OWES THEM NOTHING BUT HIS CONTEMPT
Sources at NBC affirmed that their interview requests have been turned down. But Trump still has an open invitation, should he choose to change his mind, the sources said.
NBC is televising the Super Bowl on Sunday. It is traditionally the highest-rated event of the year by far.
A pre-Super Bowl interview with the president has become an American tradition in the past decade.
When Fox televised the Super Bowl last year, Trump sat down with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly at the White House.

President Trump Tells NBC to Go Stick It on their Super Bowl Interview Request

NOW, ON WITH THE DEPRESSING STUFF
Michelle Obama To “Frightened” Americans: “All We Have Is Hope”
“All we have is hope,” the former first lady says in a preview clip from Thursday’s “Ellen” show. Obama’s sit-down with host Ellen DeGeneres marks her first TV interview since leaving the White House last year.
“People are afraid, but then there are people who feel good about the direction of the country, so I mean, that’s what makes this country complicated because it’s made up of so many different people from different backgrounds,” Obama tells DeGeneres, when asked what advice she’d give people who find the world to be a “scary place right now.”
“The thing I learned in the eight years that I was in the White House is that what we do every day in our lives, the good things that we do every day — and we know we do it: we show empathy, we care for each other, you know, we do have a lot in common,” says Obama. “That’s what it means to lead with hope and not fear.”

Michelle Obama is Back on the Job
Surely Barack Obama recognizes how distressing it is for liberals to have to deal with a commander-in-chief who, instead of saying “I” 96 times in a 72-minute speech, in an 80-minute speech, chooses instead to say “We” 129 times. That’s why, every chance he gets to set the record straight, albeit, with finesse, Barack makes sure to disparage the sitting president. Now Mrs. Obama is back, assisting her husband in eloquently casting all things Trump in a less-than-becoming light.
In addition to being part of Ellen’s birthday festivities, Michelle exploited the opportunity as an excuse to address the fragile sensibilities of those gripped with fear over having a man in the White House who puts America first; elevates adoption over abortion; honors law enforcement and the military; worships God, stands for the Pledge of Allegiance; doesn’t have domestic terrorist friends who stomp on the American flag; defeats ISIS; cuts taxes and recognizes that “Americans are DREAMers too.

A year after Obama, Dems still looking for replacement
Over the past year, the flavor of the month has swung wildly, from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) early in 2017 with her “Nevertheless, she persisted” moment, and later with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) on the heels of the cultural “Me too” movement.
Democrats expect to field a crowded primary in 2020 with as many as 30 potential candidates vying for the nomination. Democratic strategists say the bench includes heavy hitters like former Vice President Joe Biden, 2016 primary runner-up Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) in addition to Warren and Gillibrand

Trump Called It – Hundreds of Cases of Voter Fraud Confirmed in Key Swing State
THE ONLY SOLUTION TO VOTE FRAUD IS A NATIONAL VOTER I.D., WHICH WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
ALL REPORTS OF VOTE FRAUD HAPPEN ON ELECTION DAY. BY THE TIME THEY’RE REPORTED THE ELECTION’S OVER AND THE DEED IS DONE…NOTHING EVER HAPPENS TO THEM.
Noncitizen immigrants may have cast 544 ballots illegally out of more than 93 million ballots in elections spanning 18 years in Pennsylvania, state election officials said Wednesday.
A Department of State official, Jonathan Marks, told the House State Government Committee that the agency’s analysis covered 35 primary and general elections from 2000 through 2017. The number of possibly illegal ballots comes to one in every 172,000.

REPORT: Hillary Rushed 10 Arrested Russian Spies Back to Moscow in Deal with Putin
For a decade, the FBI ran an operation called Ghost Stories to monitor and rip apart a deep-cover Russian agent network. Ghost Stories tracked a ring Russian spies who lived between Boston and Washington, D.C., under false identities. It was one of the FBI’s most elaborate and successful counterintelligence operations in history.
After the FBI arrested 10 of the spies in June, 2010, Secretary of State Clinton worked feverishly to return the Russian agents to Moscow in a hastily arranged, lopsided deal with Putin.
It all happened as the uranium deal was in play: An arrangement to provide Moscow’s state Rosatom nuclear agency with 20 percent of American uranium capacity, with $145,000,000 to pour into the Clinton Family Foundation and its projects.

Congressional Black Caucus: Trump Should Be Impeached for ‘Legitimizing Bigotry’
“The articles of impeachment put forth by Green don’t allege Trump has committed a crime; instead, they assert that Trump has “brought the high office of president of the United States in contempt, ridicule, disgrace, and disrepute” and “has sown discord among the people of the United States,” the Hill reported.
The articles of impeachment cite Trump’s alleged remarks about “shithole countries,” his comments about the NFL “take a knee” protests during the National Anthem, and his opinion on protesters and counter-protesters over the removal of a Confederate monument in Charlottesville, Virginia last summer.

Democrats spooked? Internal letter says FISA memo ‘provides no credible basis’ for Trump to fire Rod Rosenstein
The controversial memo outlining alleged abuses of secret surveillance by the FBI and Justice Department “provides no credible basis” for President Trump to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, said a top Democratic lawmaker in a letter sent to colleagues on Saturday even as the White House has said there are no plans to make any changes at the DOJ.

Hilarious: Mike Pence Put Super Glue on Democrats’ Seats Before State of the Union

From The Babylon Bee.

WASHINGTON, DC—According to sources, Vice President Mike Pence snuck into the Capitol a few hours before President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday and smeared Super Glue all over the Democrats’ seats so they would be stuck sitting down for the entire speech.

 Hilarious!

“He’s been a prankster ever since he was a Congressman,” said one Republican aide. “Plastic wrap over the toilets, unscrewing the caps on the cafeteria salt shakers—his hijinks are legendary.”

Thanks to the VP’s wacky stunt, the unwitting Democrats were unable to stand and applaud for the duration of Trump’s speech, as he talked about Americans paying less taxes, record low unemployment, businesses promising thousands of new jobs, and even when the assembly honored the parents of two girls killed by MS-13 gang members.

Instead of being able to rise to their feet and clap with the Republicans, the Democrats were forced to sit the whole time with dour looks on their faces. What a priceless gag!

Classic Mike Pence!

Taking the Hate WAY TOO FAR

Rebecca Crowder, executive director of Lily’s Place in Huntington, is featured in a White House promotional video published Friday, Jan. 26, 2018.

Hundreds of “Love Trumps Haters” TRASHED her for being happy that FLOTUS Melania Trump had come to the facility to meet the staff and newborn patients in person and that President Trump and his administration have shown continued interest in helping the facility.

Crowder’s life is dedicated to helping sick newborns, tiny babies born with “neonatal abstinence syndrome” or NAS, a group of problems that occurs in newborns who were exposed to addictive opiate drugs before birth.

2018_02 Newborn addiction

“Honestly, I’m scared for what our world has become – that you can’t watch that video and think about those babies,” Crowder said. “Instead, people were mean, ugly and nasty. They got personal. They don’t know me.

Nevertheless, she stands by her praise for the administration’s consistent support. “I will never apologize for whatever I have to do to take care of these babies.”

“I don’t care what administration it is. If they’re doing something good, let’s acknowledge that good instead of focusing on all the hate.”

“I get it – people feel very passionate about politics or Trump or whoever. But the reality is this is the first administration that has stepped up to help us. And don’t think I didn’t try with the last (administration). They just weren’t as receptive to me.”

A Bold Prediction

It is a well-known fact that Democrats will do anything to get what they want — lie, cheat, break laws, commit perjury. The ends justifying the means is the only thing that motivates them — retaining power and control to impose their will on a deeply divided country.
Obama, Lynch, Mueller, Comey, Rosenstein, the whole sordid bunch, are spokes in a massive wheel. At the hub is Hillary Rodham Clinton. They were willing to stop at nothing to make her president while simultaneously destroying Donald Trump.
The FISA memo confirms what we already knew. It is important that the truth come out, if only for posterity. When you hear predictions that indictments are coming or people are going to jail, it’s all for the benefit of the half of the country that believes in the rule of law. My prediction is that none of these major players will ever be indicted, much less tried. It is not possible to find an impartial jury in Washington D.C. that would convict any of them.
New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez went on trial for corruption and bribe taking in connection with his major donor, Dr. Solomon Melgen, who had already been convicted of 96 counts of bribery and Medicaid fraud. Of the 56 count indictment against Menendez the jury hung on every one of them. You only need one or two ringers to hang any jury and this snake pit is crawling with them.
The democrats also have a secret weapon against being held to any serious consequences:
The Attorney General refuses to do his job and Trump will not remove him. He has stood quietly on the sidelines while the Democrats commit felonies with impunity. It would not be a surprise if they are blackmailing him the way many (including me) think they are doing with Chief Justice John Roberts, who ruled Obamacare constitutional on grounds that were never argued. He just made them up.

Jeff Sessions on Nunes memo: “No department is perfect”
Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a statement Friday following the release of the controversial Nunes memo alleging FISA abuse by the FBI and Department of Justice.

Memo Revelation: Dossier Author Admitted He Was ‘Desperate’ that Trump ‘Not Get Elected’
“In September 2016, Steele admitted to [former FBI official Bruce] Ohr his feelings against then-candidate Trump, when Steele said he “was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president,” the memo states. “This clear evidence of Steele’s bias was recorded by Ohr at the time and subsequently in official FBI files—but not reflected in any of the Page FISA applications.”

Memo confirms Obama’s corruption
Barack Obama not only went down in history as the worst president, but he has now shoved aside Nixon as the most sneaky and corrupt.
The Obama Scandal is the abuse of power by a president and his operatives to undermine the election — and then to sabotage the regime change.
The release of the memo confirms the former. We have known about the latter for a long time.
“Federal employees worried that President Donald Trump will gut their agencies are creating new email addresses, signing up for encrypted messaging apps and looking for other, protected ways to push back against the new administration’s agenda,” Politico reported.

Obama Admin’s First Request to Spy on Trump Campaign Was Rejected by FISA Court — So They Added the Fake Dossier Knowing It Was Lie
We now know that the FISA requests to spy on Carter Page were based on the discredited and bogus fake Trump dossier created by Fusion GPS and that the dossier’s origin was not reported to the court.
We also know that all of these requests were signed off on by the Obama Administration’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch and that the first request to spy on Trump was denied by the FISA Court.

House Memo Released; Reveals Discredited Dossier Paid for by Hillary used by FBI to get FISA Warrant to Spy on Trump Campaign
The damning Memo also includes the fact that Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe testified under oath to the House Intelligence Committee that without the use of the Dossier, the FBI would not have sought a FISA Warrant. So it was key.
So, if you step back from this Memo, it reveals that the Top Leaders of Law Enforcement in the United States used discredited political dirt from the Democrat Candidate for President to get a FISA Court under false pretenses to allow them to spy on her Republican Presidential Opponent during a Presidential Election. Their goal was to prevent Trump from being elected, and then became to bring down his Presidency.
You can argue all the nit-picky things you want about the Memo. But this central reality cries out for Justice.

Why Did the Democrats Lie So Baldly about the Memo?
Adam Schiff, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, among seemingly dozens of Democrats, not to mention half the mainstream media, had been warning us for days that the release of the memo authored by Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee would place our national security at grave risk. “Sources and methods” would be revealed.
Now that we have seen the memo, it’s clear that was an absolutely bald-faced lie of the most obvious sort. Nothing in it impacts national security in the slightest. There’s no mention whatsoever of any “sources and methods.”

Seven takeaways from the House memo detailing FBI’s surveillance abuses
Republicans released a long-awaited memo Friday detailing government surveillance abuses, showing that the FBI would not have obtained a surveillance warrant for the Trump campaign without using information from a dubious partisan dossier.
Here are seven take aways:
⦁ The FBI relied heavily on Democratic Party dossier to obtain three surveillance warrants before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The FBI did not tell the court the information came from a Democratic Party-financed opposition research. FBI knew source.

TRUMP WILL NOT FIRE MUELLER… HE BELIEVES HE WILL BE FAIR

Report: Mueller may indict Trump just to make a point
Rep. Ken Buck, who is a former federal prosecutor, tells Politico an indictment of Trump “would create a constitutional crisis.” Trump is within his rights as president to fire the FBI Director. So an indictment for obstruction based on the firing would amount to Mueller’s assessment that Trump fired Director Comey for the wrong reasons, something Rep. Buck says would be “unique in the history of the country.” Of course, we’ve seen courts interpreting Trump’s executive orders on immigration in a similar way, i.e. not arguing the president lacks authority but that his prior statements prove his motives were unconstitutional.

On The Same Day Trump Releases the Nunes Memo, A Federal Judge Keeps The Comey Memos Secret
On the same day the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released the Nunes memo showing the FBI relied on the salacious and unverified Trump dossier to obtain a surveillance warrant on Carter Page, a federal judge ruled to withhold the Comey memos. The memos, authored by former FBI Director James Comey, are about his nine private conversations with President-elect and President Trump.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who ruled in favor of the FBI’s request to keep the Comey memos secret, also sits on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The FISA court is the same court that approved the surveillance on Trump associates.

NeverTrump Rallies to Defend Deep State, Dismiss Memo
Fusion GPS’s initial research on Donald Trump was funded, via the Washington Free Beacon, by billionaire Paul Singer, “a major funder of the #neverTrump campaign.”
So it is perhaps no surprise that the members of NeverTrump defended the dossier and attacked Friday’s memo.
MSNBC’s Rick Wilson, who markets himself as a “GOP Media Guy” on his Twitter profile, derided supporters of President Donald Trump as “mouthbreathers” while dismissing the memo’s revelations as unimportant.

Church History: Saints Sixtus and Lawrence

Saints Sixtus and Lawrence

Emperor Valerian had initially been peaceable toward the Christian Church. But in 257, after he had become paranoid that his friendliness had angered the gods, he instituted a violent persecution that lasted for three years and six months.

St. Sixtus II was elected to the papacy in secret on August 30, 257. He was known for being a “good and peaceful priest,” according to Pontius, his biographer.

On August 6, 258, imperial soldiers caught Pope Sixtus II celebrating an illegal Mass in a chapel in the catacombs. To prevent massacre of the faithful, Sixtus and his deacons surrendered. Sixtus was beheaded the same day.

Lawrence, one of his deacons, was martyred four days later, on August 10, 258. Legend has it that, while being grilled alive, he told his executioners, “Turn me over. I’m done on this side.”
