They talk of shuffling papers into different piles, of an inability to find files, and other related issues.  If this sounds like you, it’s time to get physical and can the clutter!

How often do I look at people in the same limited way—fitting them into a neat box of my own assumptions—without pausing to consider that they might hold more stories, talents, or dreams than I realize?

This coming Labor Day, I’ll join hundreds of voices that will be raised in celebration of workers.
