As I sit here in my office, surrounded by the neatly organized files and calculators that bring me a sense of comfort and security, I couldn't help but think about the importance of discipline and self-control.

You see, "think" is not just a verb; it's a state of mind. It's a choice we make every day to either indulge in our baser impulses or to rise above them and strive for greatness.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Angela, why are you always so strict? Can't you just let loose and have some fun?" And my response is: no. Fun is overrated. What's more important is the sense of accomplishment that comes with a job well done.

But don't get me wrong; I'm not some kind of heartless robot who doesn't care about people. I do care. Deeply. Which is why I expect so much from myself and others. Because if we don't strive for excellence, then what's the point?

And that's where "think" comes in. It's not just a verb; it's a mindset. It's the ability to pause, reflect, and make informed decisions. And let me tell you, that's a skill that's sorely lacking in today's world.

So, if you're looking for tips on how to improve your thinking skills, here are a few suggestions:

  • Take time each day to reflect on your actions and choices.
  • Set clear goals for yourself and work towards achieving them.
  • Surround yourself with people who challenge you to be your best self.
  • And most importantly, never, ever underestimate the power of a well-organized spreadsheet.

Now, I know some of you may be thinking: "But Angela, this is all so... strict." And my response is: yes. It is. Because if we don't have discipline and structure in our lives, then what's the point?

So, go ahead and try to think outside the box (but not too far outside, okay?). Just remember that sometimes it's better to stick with what you know, rather than taking a chance on something new.

And always, always keep your priorities straight. Family, friends, cats... in that order.

That's my two cents on the importance of "think." I hope you find it helpful.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some spreadsheets to attend to.
