Managing my time

I have been thinking and reading a lot about organization and time management lately. For those of us who are highly visual and right-brain dominant, organization can be a challenge even if only because we don’t see things the way other people do.

Something’s lost and must be found.” The reason for invoking St. Anthony’s help in finding lost or stolen things is traced back to an incident in his own life. As the...
