  Broken Bones
   
  I was speaking with a retired nurse the other day, a friend of my Mom's, and she told me something interesting. She was talking about someone who had been in an accident and had multiple fractures and she said that in cases like this the bones don't all heal at the same time. I'm probably not explaining this in good medical terms, but the body works on the worst break first, and when that's well on the way to being healed, it starts working on another. This surprised me; I would have thought that they would all heal at once.

As I thought about this, I got to thinking that this is a good way to handle daily tasks. Most of us are very busy, and are trying to do lots of stuff all at once. We run from one to another, doing a little bit here and a little bit there. Sometimes it might be a good idea to slow down, look things over, and set some priorities. Then do the most important things first and then move on to something else.

You might find you get more done faster this way.
