		<title>Choose your own adventure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember those books from the 80s?  The first chapter would set out the basic storyline and then someone would have to make a decision,  and you, the reader, would get to choose from a couple of options and turn to different pages depending on which one you chose.
The books were fun, and I could get [...]]]></description>

		<title>When is a morning not a morning?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it’s an afternoon!
Okay, so it’s a lousy riddle but it’s been a real dilemma for me.
At the moment, I’m trapped in what parents around here refer to as kindergarten hell.  Kids in kindergarten here go to school in the morning (8:45-12) for two weeks and then switch to afternoons (1-3) for two weeks.  So [...]]]></description>

		<title>Practice Makes Permanent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was at a conference recently and, as often happens at these things, a former Olympic gymnast came in to give a talk about excellence.
Oh, that doesn&#8217;t happen that often?  Well, it happened at this one.
This guy, Peter Vidmar, won a gold medal with the US gymnastic team in the 80s and he&#8217;s parlayed that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Genetic Anxiety</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got commended today for having the tools to help my kid through a bit of anxiety about going to school (he&#8217;s almost 5, and some days kindergarten is too much for him),  but I felt like saying that he (and his brother) deserved praise for making me find those tools.
I grew up thinking that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tea or Oranges (coming all the way from China is optional)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know how some days you seem to be skating on the top of everything, rather than diving in like you are supposed to?  I now hate that I made myself think of diving into icy water, but please bear with me.
I&#8217;m referring to those days that are so hectic that all you can think [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sitting with it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been having a rough couple of weeks.  The kind of cold that leaves you feeling run down but never develops into anything bad enough to make you lie down.  Chilly weather.  A kid that just started Kindergarten, then was sick for three days and lost his enthusiasm for the task.  A couple of [...]]]></description>

		<title>All Hail The Whiteboard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like a good system.  As I&#8217;ve mentioned before, I am an INFJ and we have a nasty habit of getting lost in the search for the perfect system &#8211; I fight against that all the time.
One real system-seeking situation for me is my To Do list.  I&#8217;ve tried all kinds of systems, paper and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Counterinuitive (one of my favourite words)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a mom, I sometimes get my day off on the wrong track, and I try to juggle work and parenting at the exact same time, and I end up doing a half-assed job of both. I have this work sitting on the screen (or paper) in front of me and I can’t wrap my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why?  That&#8217;s not a particularly useful question.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been reading and working through MJ Ryan&#8217;s  This Year I Will&#8230;  and I&#8217;ve gotten really into one aspect of her approach. 
Ryan suggests that asking yourself why you do a particular self-sabotaging thing repeatedly is not always useful.  Asking &#8216;Why?&#8217; gets your left brain analyzing the problem but it won&#8217;t necessarily trigger any solutions.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so you&#8217;re overwhelmed, right?  Your to do list is huge, and for one reason or another you can&#8217;t get to anything on it.  You feel lousy about that and that&#8217;s making it worse. 
You can&#8217;t focus, and you feel like lying on the couch, balancing a bowl of cheezies on your chest and watching reruns [...]]]></description>
