Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 31, 2019

Pig, there’s nothing to regret if you like it. Onion rings and a Guinness, please!

Pig, remember, if nobody sees you eating, it doesn’t contain any calorie.

How could regret any food Pig? After all a pig is just a pig .

Nancy fancies to get her task list accomplished, but can never get past the first:

1. take siesta / 2. get a job / 3. write resume / 4. run Fortune-500 company . . .

Unfortunately, that list also includes:

1) Go to work so you can afford the food.

2) Go shopping.

You now have three things you regret.

My goals are pretty simple. I’m bearly disciplined.

. Go fishing

. Get hunny

. Steal picanic baskets

. A stroll in the woods

. Sleep

Pig job well done ! …….. Croc Power !

I write a list when things I need to do seem overwhelming. Then I look at the list and it isn’t as bad as I think.

TO-DO lists are over rated…..

I have a to-don’t list. That’s easier to accomplish.

Peter Drucker’s Management by Objectives: Set SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound). Pig, you nailed it!

A great piece of advice I heard years ago was simply “Do the next thing.” It has served me well.

The first thing on your to do list should be “write to do list” then cross it off. There…. done!

At my age, “Live to see sunset.” Woo-hoo!

Drink beer. Repeat.

Reading GoComics is second on my list, right after making breakfast.

The first item on my list today is “Leftovers from Thursday”

If you really want to seem successful, make your todo list at the end of the day, and list what you did. Sort of like shooting an arrow and then drawing the target around wherever it lands

Beans! Eat beans and everyone will regret.

Plan the work. And, work the plan.

[Now, I can check off ‘Post dumb comments to GoComics’ from my list.]

I do that everyday!

My role model.

As for eating food I’ll regret, I’m way behind on my quota – guess I’ll just have to buckle down!

First you need a plan for making a plan. Then you plan the plan’s planny plan.

Set the bar low enough and even Pig can get over. Still, I do like his simple honesty. Nonetheless, I hope Neighbor Nancy does not follow his lead….
