Kelly (my wife) has a tough time budgeting her time correctly.  Last year Kelly decided she was going to lose 9 pounds for a wedding that was 3 weeks away.  She professed, “I will lose 3 pounds a week”.  The diet didn’t go well because the morning of the wedding she got in the car and said, “I gotta lose 9 pounds by 2pm.”
