I pray that your labor day weekend is safe and filled with delightful memories.
In this issue of SBND Community Newsletter, we want to express appreciation for all labor that uplifts humanity and celebrate the historical significance of this holiday.
"Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country," according to U.S. Department of Labor.
Thank you for the labor you have contributed towards the success of small business and nonprofit community enterprises.
Nita

"
Why Your To-Do Lists Don't Work"
Get it Done and Do it Well
Many people use to-do lists in an effort to get more work done.
But to-do lists may actually hurt small-business owners' productivity. For those planning to get too much done in a day, their lists may be too long to ever really get completed. As a result, these tasks may get copied over to the next day and the next, becoming a perpetual to-do list item that may never get done.
According to The Busy Person's Guide to the Done List by Janet Choi and Walter Chen of iDoneThis,
41 percent of to-do list items created on their app are never actually completed. Rather than boost productivity, to-do lists may hurt an individual's morale.
But changing the way you use to-do lists may help you get things done.
Let me know what you think!
