I am a big fan of calling the bluff. To be clear, my own bluff. The way I declutter (implementing the Container Concept and Taking It There Now) is basically calling my own bluff. These strategies keep me from imagining or insisting how something will go and actually make it happen.

Do you experience this disconnect? Smart in most things, bewildered by others?

October 1, 2026 By Dana White Leave a Comment

Over the summer, when my college kids were home, we rewatched the sitcom Parks and Rec. If you’ve never watched it, you should. Just give it until a few episodes into season two. That’s when it gets truly hilarious. The main character is Leslie Knope. She is intelligent, driven, and passionate. She gets things done […]

Are You Obsessed With Not Wasting Time?

September 30, 2026 By Dana White Leave a Comment

September 28, 2026 By Dana White Leave a Comment

This weird energy came out of nowhere and carried me through a lot of work I didn’t enjoy at any other time. Because I got so much done in those unpredictable moments of inspiration, I thought I needed them. […]

What Exactly Do I Mean by “Procrastination?”

September 26, 2026 By Dana White 1 Comment

Last week, I was at the gym. (That’s a brag. I’m really proud of myself.) My trainer handed me wrist straps for the exercise I needed to do. I kept staring at them. My brain could not compute why they weren’t making any sense. She kept saying, that’s the right hand one. And I kept […]

529: “Better” vs. “Not Enough”

September 24, 2026 By Dana White Leave a Comment

Sometimes we mess up. Or at least I do. And/or I don’t get everything done that I really wanted to do. I can look at these situations as either “not enough” or as “better.” “Not enough” makes me want to quit. “Better” keeps me going. Preorder my latest book – Procrastinators Get Stuff Done! My […]
