7 Habits for Moderately Effective People, poem by Jane Downing.
7 Habits for Moderately Effective People
do stuff
stuff what they say
ignore stuff and nonsense
stuff as much as you can into your day
when the stuffing is knocked out of you
if you can help it never say ‘stuff it’
just try not to stuff it up
keep doing stuff
