Silver Dollar City
We spent Saturday at Silver Dollar City. Wildfire if not the best, is the most beautiful roller-coaster I have ever been on. The green trees and hills of Missouri, but you can only enjoy them for a moment.

How to Be Proactive
1. Take a good look at your responsibilities.
2. Examine critically how you might perform those tasks more efficiently.
3. Look for steps in the process to eliminate, consolidate, or shorten.
4. Develop a mindset that looks to solve problems instead of dwelling on them.
5. Get ahead and stay ahead of less-urgent, day-to-day tasks.
6. Know which tasks are priorities and which can wait.
7. Eliminate altogether any task that is truly unnecessary.
8. Evaluate your procedures and processes as you use them.
9. Try to anticipate needs.
10. Try to anticipate things you will need to know.
11. Look for ways to automate routine tasks.
Looks like you can eliminate many tasks by just not thinking about them! Ha!
