The Best Minute: Vacation prep, choosing to remain the same, and making the right decision
2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
I. David Allen on preparing for vacation all the time:
“Most people feel best about their work the week before their vacation, but it’s not because of the vacation itself. What do you do the last week before you leave on a big trip? You clean up, close up, clarify, and renegotiate all your agreements with yourself and others. I just suggest that you do this weekly instead of yearly.”

II. Laurie Buchanan on choosing the status quo:

1 INTERESTING FACT
Penicillin was first called “mold juice”
In 1928, bacteriologist Alexander Fleming left a petri dish in his lab while he was on vacation—only to return and find that some liquid around the mold had killed the bacteria in the dish. This became the world’s first antibiotic, but before naming it penicillin, he called it “mold juice.”
