Post on your blog whether or not you ever been a member of a book club.
My neighborhood has a book club composed of under 10 women...we meet in each other's homes and serve lunch after the discussion. We read a mix of fiction and non fiction titles. Now that I am working I do not attend.
Also discuss whether you prefer joining a in-person or online book club.
Online would eliminate schedule conflicts and I may try joining an online group.

Okay - I could do this to a fault. Sometimes I am so good at organization that my cluttered-self can't find my organized stuff. Ever done that? When you find what you have been looking for you are amazed how smart you were to put IT THERE.....you just couldnt find IT for HOURS.
I found some duplicated files on the Z drive. Since I am new in my reference position I haven't created a lot of files to clutter the drives. I didnt realize that the S drive is purged systematically.
Very worthwhile module

Get Things Done - TIME MGMT
•Presents three major models for gaining control and perspective - I related to the model that utilized the airplane analogy - 6 different levels of focus - Runway level is the current action items (to-do list) and the levels proceed to the 50,000 ft level which is the life goals.
I am a traditionalist.....pen and paper...to-do list...mapping my day....but I do not see the bigger picture and this method appeals to me for that reason.
