Coping saws

This blog was named Probaway – Life Hacks ~ Many helpful hints on living your life more successfully a few minutes before the first of 4,358 daily posts. Today, for me it is now December 7, 2019, but your day count is here. The blog was intended to create “Life Hacks for creating a better world.” The original intent was to do a daily post for the month of January 2008 and then to revisit the self-pledge to do a blog post per day. I self-pledged to do another month. At the end of that yet another month, and then a quarter of a year, and then a half a year. I am considering going back to my original self-pledge of a single month on January 1, 2020.

Some old coping saws for coping with life converted to hack saws.

There’s no sense in beating a dead horse.
There’s greater wisdom in beating a dead horse than beating yourself.

A stitch in time saves nine.
An easy decision now obviates nine difficult ones later.

An easy action now prevents nine hard ones later.
