Reset Computer to Previous Date...What About Life???
A student of mine emailed me that he was calling Dell about a computer problem. I expected, correctly, that they would take him through the steps to reset to a previous date. It worked and he is happily back on course. Every time I do this or recommend it to someone, I cannot help thinking...wouldn't it be nice if we could do that in life? Frankly I wish right now I could just go back to 8 AM today. I lost an entire day stubbornly trying to complete a transaction that just wasn't going to get done in one day. As a result I have little to show for today and mounting frustration as I am behind on so may fronts. Going beyond that simple little adjustment, my imagination can wander down all sorts of paths...what about you?

Hi Mary Ann,
ReplyDeleteI think we all have days like you have had. My "mantra" on such days is "Will I still be worried about this next year at this time?" Sort of puts things into perspective for me.
All the best,
Doug
