    A Full Calendar

~Ana Veciana-Suarez, "Leaving the Kids' Calendar Blank"

Do you tend to over-schedule, or miss out on the right opportunity? Or both? Perhaps an Inventory, No and Purge* would be in order to help you clear your calendar, create the right kind of vacuum (where they are self-motivated to take on projects that they own), make time for your own education, and bring a little more peace and order to your life.
