While browsing through a library not long ago, I found myself unexpectedly inspired. Shelved nearby were books that promised solutions to just about everything—productivity, purpose, motivation, discipline. I left the library thinking about procrastination and, more importantly, about the quiet agreements we make with ourselves when we say, “I’ll get around to it.”
That moment led me somewhere I hadn’t planned.
Firmly believing that inspiration should be acted upon—before it has time to fade—I temporarily set aside my work on the Montgomery Family Saga and began writing a very different kind of book. The result is Around to It, often shortened to TUIT, which has now been published.
TUIT arrived during a reflective phase in my life. You could fairly summarize it as a book about procrastination—and much of it is—but that description doesn’t tell the whole story. In writing it, I found myself reflecting on other parts of my life as well: habits formed and abandoned, intentions deferred, and the small negotiations we carry on internally every day. Along the way, I allowed room for humor, personal stories, and a few observations that surprised even me.
Writing Around to It turned out to be a meaningful experience—one that clarified more than I expected when I began.
If you’re curious, I invite you to take a look at TUIT. I hope you find it interesting, thoughtful, and perhaps even helpful—especially if you’ve ever told yourself you’d get around to something… someday.
