Sometimes we can’t seem to focus, and we never get where we want to go. Sometimes we start things that we will never finish because they are too ambitious. And sometimes we don’t feel we are making progress, and we abandon the project. Dots will encourage you to choose what you really want to do, to be realistic about what you can do, and will show you how much you get done every month. Stop trying, start dotting.
