I like the metaphor about the produce bags. And in addition to seeing it in the frame of what we do for others, I can see myself using it in helping myself to accomplish big tasks. Sometimes I resist getting started on something when I don't have a lot of time. The job's just too big, you know? But if I treat each tiny piece of the task as a produce bag -- a little bit of nothing that does add up to something -- maybe it'll help me start moving forward on the big things as well. Thanks, Dave, as always, for a new perspective.
