I found that the closer I came to living God's priorities, the less useful it was for me...I just DID less and so didn't need to have that complicated a system.Jen @ Happy Little Homemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16503392846165359736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-35199299489463327902010-02-26T06:42:20.826-06:002010-02-26T06:42:20.826-06:00G,

That will give you a little more of the practical info he shared. If you're short on time for reading (I assume you always are), I'd skip the first half of the book and go straight for the toolbox section. <br /><br />I like the NASA story. We never know where we're going to get helpful info. One of my more beneficial college courses was a Business Writing class at UAH years ago. At the time I thought it was silly, but it probably altered my writing more than anything else has.Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-52590724190684963702010-02-24T14:00:57.997-06:002010-02-24T14:00:57.997-06:00Great list.

I learned some stylistic stuff in a writing class at NASA one time that I use to this day. It wasn't anything earth-shattering, just some simple techniques that make your reading enjoyable. I'm amazed at the lack of grammatical skills at the doctorate level. I could make a name for myself, just by writing well. Anyway, just curious what kind of info he shares, if it's worth picking up, etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02891468552745815748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-60592002589621579532010-02-23T18:34:27.965-06:002010-02-23T18:34:27.965-06:00I need to get my hands on a copy of The Happiness ...I need to get my hands on a copy of The Happiness Project - it sounds so interesting and really seems to excite people.
