This morning, the free conference known as The Nines will start. For more information about it, including how to register), see my previous post.

I’ll be updating this post throughout the day with some of the highlights and questions that come out of it, so check back later.

12:24 pm: I just got home a few minutes ago from the weekly art class with my daughter.  We read a book about fish called Swimmy and did art projects based on fish.  It was great!

Less than 30 seconds after I logged on, one of the leaders I hoped to see came on, Jon Acuff.  I’m in the middle of his book, Quitter and he covered the topic of time management.  Here’s the gist of what he covered:

Time is one thing we can’t get back, so we have to make it count.  There are two things that get in the way:

1. Perfectionism: The perfect always appears closer than it is.  We can always read one more article or blog or take one more class and understand it better.  No.  90% perfect and published is better than 100% perfect and stuck in your head.
2. Match the right level of energy to the right activity.
