Getting It All Done

"We are all busy, yes. But we also labor under potent illusions, and isn’t it a wondrous thing that we can help ourselves see through them by lending a hand to someone else?"

I read Getting It All Done by Gareth Cook in the beginning of April and it could not have come at a more perfect time.  I was in the midst of planning/executing the Project Peace Speakers Series, The Slave Next Door and was feeling slightly pressed for time.  The article cites a study by the Harvard Business School which found that, "doing something for someone else shows us that we can get things done and makes us feel effective and in control." 

I highly recommend the article which puts serving others in a different light, but would also recommend serving others as a means of making an impact in your community.  

Maybe by pairing the two we feel more freedom while bringing it to others.
