Franklin Covey makes a lot of sense – get things prioritized so that you can be proactive and not just put out fires.

Hard to do in the middle of a firestorm.

Since taking back over the family newspaper in September, it has felt like one fire after another. In the middle of fighting them all, we’re trying to be proactive and implement new strategies so we can be a paper that succeeds and not a statistic.

Could really use a clone right about now.

Today’s fire: sloppy-handiwork-by-people-formerly-in-charge

Trying to use databases from this guy is aggravating in the extreme. It is like he just stuck info “wherever.” Reminds me of my kids. When asked to “clean up” a room, they sometimes resort to the “just get it all on a shelf, somewhere” method. Not really paying attention to if that is where it belongs.

So, I’m having to go through a database piece by piece and sort out the mess. Not what I really need to be doing since I already average 5 hours of sleep or less a night.

Grrrrr
