Does this resonate with you? 🤔

Sometimes a project feels so big -- IS so big -- that you can't even see all of it. Maybe it goes into several rooms, or across several software platforms, or includes so many pieces you can't even find them all.

And you just really want a road map. "How am I supposed to get this all done?" 😣

Folks, Martin Luther King Jr. was a wise man, and that wisdom applies to more than just big things; it applies to small things too.

You and I, in this project, today, are only facing several rooms, or platforms, or pieces. We can do this.

Believe me, I understand the frustration. I know how overwhelming it can feel.

But just follow the formula. ✅
1) Make a list
2) Pick one thing
3) Do that

If you do even one thing every once in a while, it WILL get done.

You don't have to see how it is all going to end to get started. Just take the first step.

And remember, I can help you develop that road map. Ask for help if you can't find the path. I can help. I'm right here.

Be well, friends. ✨

Happy World Earth Day, friends! 🌍

Here at RETHINK, we love reducing, reusing, and recycling. It is part of what we do. ♻️

If you live in Allegheny County, check out this link. It is chock full of options. Just browsing it reminds me of things we could do being better here in our house.

For example, did you know that at the Bethel Park Best Buy here in the South Hills, you can recycle "TV equipment, cables, DVD players, wall mounts, computer equipment, tablets, desktops, ink cartridges, toner cartridges, printers/scanners/fax, cell phones, chargers, fans, vacuums, microwaves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, freezers, shredders, hair straighteners, curling irons, hair dryers, cameras, and memory cards?"

I did not know that but this website told me so! 🤓

We all have to do our part to try and make this world a better place. I encourage you to consider alternatives to the super-easy landfill. ♻️
