    About this ebook

    Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the details of your life and work that must be managed everyday? The author was continually under that load over a 30 year career of managing various non-profit organizational teams in multi-cultural settings. Finally he had enough! Using a simple app on his computer, he took several hours to hone out a system that works great, and wishes he had discovered years before. Now all of his non-profit leadership work load -- every minute detail -- and all of his personal life details are in a system that never loses them, and pops them into play when they need action. So if you are frustrated at the end of the day sensing you wasted time, and lost details that should have been on your do-list, this short eBook might be of help to you.

      CONFESSIONS of a FRUSTRATED LEADER

      MANAGING POORLY

      One of my personal bents has always been to create do-lists, work with goals, put out paperwork, manage a workload or try to, and generally get my kicks out of administration. I'm one of those guys who creates myriads of do-lists and then enjoys crossing off the task the moment it's done. Ever meet one of those kind of animals? Or maybe you are one too?

      And here's another confession concerning my compulsion: I even put tasks on my do-list AFTER the fact, just so I can cross them off.

      Ouch! Even as I look at what I just wrote, I think I had better visit a counselor!

      Of course, there is method in my madness. I'm not totally irrational. If I got twenty-five unexpected phone calls that day, and in the evening assessed my work for the day, what would I find on my do-list? That absolutely NOTHING was done I set out to do that day! But if I had twenty-five phone calls on that list, even put on the list AFTER the fact, and they were scratched off, I would head for dinner feeling pretty good about myself. And lets face it - I did talk with twenty-five people. Why not take credit for the time invested and prove I had a worthy workday?

      Even my children won't let me forget their younger years when Saturday morning the white board came out and a list of little boxes and household tasks would be written down. They volunteered as quickly as they could for the tasks they liked, in order NOT to
