When you hear the same message over and over again, it becomes embedded in your brain. Right? RIGHT?
This is mostly why I got this from the dollar bin at Target last fall. I've been slightly obsessed the last couple of years with reading books about de-cluttering: the art of purging your crap and not buying more. (The irony of buying a cheapie book at Target to help me get rid of my junk is not lost on me.)
I brought this book with me on a camping trip over a holiday weekend because upon my return, I needed to focus again on the task at hand. I have less than two months to make some big things happen. I read through the whole book in about a half-hour during my trip.
Today, three days later, I passed the book along to a visiting friend who expressed interest. "Pass it along, spread the goodness. It'll be one less thing you own!" my brain thought, and I gave it away without a thought. Unfortunately it didn't take long for me to realize that blazing through the book just once didn't give my brain enough time to fully soak in all the content. "What were those acronyms again? Oh no, I don't remember a thing!"
Sure, I already know and am practicing the big lessons, but I try to read many of these books to remember a wide variety of strategies and tips.
So although I don't think I "need" the book anymore, I secretly hope my friend returns it. :)
