For years I've had this picture of my car pasted to a nearby book case
in my office. It was taken a long time ago just after I bought it when
it was in immaculate condition. The idea being that if I had this
constant reminder of what it used to look like I would be inspired to
make it look that way again. Well, it has had some effect, now and then
I do work on this or that but it's been going way too slow, even for a
procrastinator like me. Suddenly, this morning I hit upon a new
strategy. I have another picture of the car taken just a few weeks
ago. I've been keeping this one hidden in a drawer because whenever I
look at it, it gets me all fidgety and guilty feeling. My new strategy
is to stick up the new picture right next to the old one. Double wammy:
guilt and inspiration. This can't possibly fail.
