WHY? My granddad did this for me and it is wonderful to know him better. WHEN? Start today. It is a great Sunday activity. Work it a little more each Sunday. WHAT? I invite you to consider leaving a written record of your life for others so they know where they came from. Whoa! Too big, scary or too hard? Although some of you may feel like publishing your own life story to your family is too big of a task, consider that like all worthwhile hard tasks it starts with step one, and then step two, and so on.

I had to buy a paper copy of Thinking for a Change, Putting the TOC Thinking Processes to Use, by Lisa J. Sheinkopf because there was no ebook. They did not make ebooks back in when the book was published. I’ve also been listening to the audio book of It’s Not Luck, by Eliyahu M. Goldratt.

Goldratt’s book is in a novel format with a story that blends in how to use the techniques. ...

If you will do something frequently, memorization works If infrequent, references like standard work checklists aid consistent performance When things begin to change frequently (whether the process, or the new technology tools, or even when the people turnover frequently), having such standard work can be really helpful. ...
