Compost and Finishing

This weekend I decided to build a compost container and it taught me something about Finishing.

Problem:
I have a number of large trees in my yard and I am tired of bagging up the leaves and sending them off to the landfill.

Solution:
Build a compost container to turn the leaves into supercharged compost for the extensive garden that is now in the works.

Lesson - In order to finish well you have to learn to walk the fine line between thinking and doing.

I write this "Finisher's Blog" because I am often chastised for my lack of finishing. So, I was determined to be a doer this weekend and to actually finish the compost handler. No such luck.

Weekend laziness + fun kid-time + cold temperatures kept me inside too long. So, I finally went outside to get started...as always determined to finish strong.

I started building without thinking enough about what and how, etc.

Normally, I spend too much time thinking and planning and thinking some more before I actually DO anything. This time, I launched into action without the thinking...and it slowed me down later.

Lesson Learned...think first...then act...but don't think too much.
