NEXUS: “Everything, in retrospect, is obvious. . ."

“Everything, in retrospect, is obvious. . ."

Wols: Retrospective

Something reeked havoc with the blog a week ago.

It took a great deal of angst (on my part) and the dedication of a skilled tech guy to fix it. In retrospect, although I haven't a clue what I did, I'm going to do everything I can never to do it again. . .

While we're on the subject,

LET'S TALK ABOUT RETROSPECT.

In retrospect, have you been getting your work done on time? Have you persevered (stayed on task)? Have you been working well (appropriately) with others? Have you been "making everything you do the best thing you've ever done" (giving your best effort)?

YOU ARE GETTING HUNGRY, , ,
E-E-EAT YOUR CARROTS. . .

Have you been eating your vegetables?

(Just thought I'd throw that in there.)
