Dear Readers,

I’m reading Kate DiCamillo’s new book, and in it she has a minor character–a gym teacher–who has a favorite saying: “Flex your toes and isolate your objectives.” I think that’s sound advice, and it reminds me of all we can learn from literature.

So you’ll hear me say it today (and a lot in the future) anytime we have a task that we need to complete. There’s no replacement for focus and single-mindedness when there’s something you need to get done.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
