Over the last few weeks I have been drenching my brain in the three books and thinking about lots of things.

In life I handle change pretty well, having moved homes 54 times in my 54 years, I have got pretty good at it and have largely leaned out my lifestyle ... TL;DR

My FTE was when I realised that it takes me about 3-6 months each time I move to get locked into to the new locale and routines etc, largely being ineffective for that period of time. When I did some math and realised, that at a 4 month adjustment for each move, I have had 18years of ineffective time, add on my first 18yrs of life of regular education and at least 5 of the 7 years I was married, I have had over 40yrs being ineffective, ouch!

I'm still learning and now getting more focused on the Fastlane, I may be old when I hit the escape.
