Friday’s Excuses

Seth Godin’s blog item “ Looking for the right excuse ” hit the nail on the head.

It’s Friday morning.

“I’ll not try phoning people today; they’ll all be gearing up to get away to cottage country”.

It’s Monday morning.

“I’ll not try phoning people today; they’ll all be trying to cope with the email and voice-mail backlog from the weekend

It’s Tuesday morning.

“I’ll not try phoning this morning; I have to leave at 10;35 for a lunch appointment.

It’s Wednesday afternoon.

“I’ll not try phoning this afternoon ...”

I had not realized how often I can make an excuse NOT to pick up the phone and dial.

And how often I lie in bed at night ashamed because I’ve made no phone calls this day.
