ICC, Union Pacific supports closing IL-53 CenterPoint access Hearing set for Oct. 29 for closing Illinois 53 access to CenterPoint Intermodal yards By nick reiher

managing editor

nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

Representatives of the Illinois Commerce Commission and the Union Pacific Railroad told an ICC administrative judge Oct. 7 they now agree with the Village of Elwood in closing Walter Strawn Drive.

Walter Strawn Drive, just north of the main entrance to the Village of Elwood was built specifically as the eastern access to the BNSF intermodal when that yard was planned more than

a decade ago.

But it has been the source of contention in the past year or so, as increased truck traffic off Illinois 53 heading to the BNSF yard, as well as the UP yard a few miles north in Joliet, have caused problems at that crossing, including trucks breaking the gates.

UP officials joined those from CenterPoint, area farmers and other businesses in opposing Elwood’s move to the close Walter Strawn Drive at Baseline Drive in May to try to reduce traffic at that crossing. The group

was able to obtain a temporary restraining order until the village officially rescinded the closure several weeks ago.

Since that time, the entities have worked at reducing traffic problems on Illinois 53, including adding off-duty sheriff’s police to handle traffic during times trucks may conflict with funeral processions to the nearby Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery.

ICC staff had been working with the UP on adding signal time to the gates as trains approached.

CenterPoint attorney Michael Scotti III said two other attorneys in his firm were at the ICC hearing while he attended to out-of-state business.

Quinn announces $5 million investment in JJC downtown campus $5 million is coming from Governor’s Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program College officials had originally anticipated an investment of for the bugle sweditor@buglenewspapers.com $25.5 million from the state but @BugleNewspapers the money wasn’t earmarked in the last capital budget A $5 million investment which ended June 30, by the State of Illinois will 2014.

According to Dave Gov. Pat Quinn Blanchette, spokesman announced the investment for Quinn’s Springfield by the state Saturday at the office, the state has college’s state-of-the-art, Gov. Pat Quinn already provided $5 but currently unfinished million toward the facility on Chicago Street in college project, and along with downtown Joliet.

The $5 million is coming from Saturday’s announcement, brings the Governor’s Illinois Jobs Now! state funding to $10 million.

The facility’s $58 million cost is capital construction program.

“This is about jobs and making being funded by money from other sure men and women get the master plan projects at JJC that skills they need,” Quinn said. “Jobs came in under budget, interest on follow brain power, (jobs) follow bonds, a successful referendum in 2008 and the state investment, JJC investment in education.”

and environmentally-friendly design will house the college’s adult education and literacy program, Workforce Development and the nationally renowned Culinary Arts program.

The facility’s exterior core and shell are complete as is the interior schematic design. The anticipated open date for the campus is 2016, Rohder said.

Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante, County Executive Larry Walsh Sr., Senators Pat McGuire and Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant and former JJC President J.D. Ross were in attendance at the press conference led by Joliet Junior College President Dr. Debra Daniels.

JJC students, who now attend programs that will eventually be housed downtown, also came to meet and thank the Governor.

Student Ricardo Limon currently attends the college’s Adult Education program. He plans to continue on in culinary arts and will likely attend classes downtown when the new campus is complete.

Limon, along with his former teacher, JJC Adjunct Instructor Johnny Britton, took the opportunity to get a picture with the Governor, as did other students.

Limon is excited to have an opportunity to continue his education in the new building, he said.

“I got a call from my attorneys saying we got ambushed,” said Scotti, still out of town Tuesday night and still confused as to why UP and ICC officials changed their course without discussing it with CenterPoint. “We were caught off guard.”

Opponents of the closing of Baseline Drive, including UP and the ICC at the time, said the move would put more trucks on the Arsenal Road interchange off Interstate 55. It wasn’t a good time to do that this past summer since traffic already was tied up due to construction on the nearby Des Plaines River Bridge on Interstate 55. That work was completed before Labor Day. Scotti said he was able to tell

his attorneys at the hearing to ask the administrative judge for a hearing date to discuss evidence. The judge agreed and set an Oct. 29 date. Meanwhile, Scotti said he will try to contact representatives from the ICC and UP to see what caused them to change their minds.

He said closing Walter Strawn Drive has been discussed since the beginning of the discussion on the traffic issue earlier this year. Closing the drive would hurt businesses along Illinois 53 and many grain haulers in the area, he added.

“There also has been talk of making it one-way,” Scotti said of Walter Strawn Drive. “That would be better than closing it.”

Third District race between Lipinski and Brannigan 3rd district now stretches from suburban Romeoville and Crest Hill to the south side of Chicago

By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

Democrat incumbent Dan Lipinski who was re-elected for his fifth term in 2012 faces off against small-business owner Sharon Brannigan for a seat in the Third District.

Brannigan, a flower shop owner from Orland Park is a “Made in America” candidate who

follows a family history of small business ownership. Repealing the Affordable Care Act is one of the main issues she is running for office.

“I will vote to repeal ObamaCare in its entirety. I believe no amount of band aids will fix this monstrosity of a program that levies millions in taxes and takes over 1/6th of our national economy. What I want to see in its place is health insurance options

of purchasing across state lines, health savings accounts, and tort reform,” she states.

She intends to tackle the Administration’s relentless pursuit to neutralize and strip away 2nd Amendment Rights; stop the Common Core Curriculum from spreading across the entire public education system; protect religious and personal freedoms; be persistent in tackling unemployment for Veterans and all citizens in Illinois; ensure the protection of our borders, having a strong national defense and better leadership for foreign policy and international agendas.

Brannigan also plans to ensure the VA Hospitals and Medical Centers are running efficient and act humanely toward veterans; and wants to get to the bottom of the Benghazi scandal, ensuring that the Special Committee has

the tools necessary to investigate this matter and minimize future terrorist attacks, and by ensuring our diplomatic posts have the security and communications they need to operate safely abroad.

As Northeastern Illinois’ only member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Lipinski has worked to improve America’s transportation system, including more funding for roads, mass transit, rails, and airports. He has also been the leading advocate for the CREATE rail modernization

election 2014

Two women run for 98th District election spot 98th District is located entirely within Will County and contains portions of Bolingbrook, Crest Hill, Joliet, Lockport, Plainfield and Romeoville

Both with local roots and a strong will to serve the community, two women are running to claim the State Representative seat for the 98th District.

Democrat incumbent Natalie Manley was elected to her first term Nov. 2012. She is a Certified Public Accountant specializing in tax preparation, auditing, and budgeting for individuals, businesses and governments, working to make them more efficient while protecting taxpayer dollars.

Manley’s legislative priorities include restoring the state’s fiscal health, improving the economic climate for businesses and job

seekers, and rewarding business investment in job creation. She is a strong proponent of education and will be an advocate for affordable tuition, student loans, and financial planning for college.

As a legislator, Manley will draw upon her strong financial background to make fiscal responsibility in state government a priority. With her experience and expertise as an auditor, she plans to review the state budget line by line to help eliminate duplicative service, unnecessary spending, and fraud while protecting the state’s most crucial programs. To help address the state’s budget challenges, Manley supports making it harder for lawmakers to increase their own pay, she supports pay cuts for politicians, and she supports ending free health care coverage for retired politicians and judges.

An active community volunteer, Natalie has been involved with the Joliet Chamber of Commerce, United Way of Will County, Big

Democrat incumbent Natalie Manley

Challenger Yvonne Bolton

Brothers and Big Sisters of Will and Grundy County, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and many other non-profits.

As the president of her condo association, Natalie understands how homeowners have struggled with declining property values.

She supports legislation freezing property taxes when home values decline, and she will back efforts to reduce foreclosures, helping more families stay in their own homes and keeping communities safe.

Challenger Yvonne Bolton states in her campaign materials that “as a mother and grandmother that

cares greatly for the future of this State, I want to do whatever I can to effect change that will allow future generations to have the same opportunities to be successful that we have had.”

Bolton has made Illinois her home since she was 7 years old.

Her family immigrated first to Chicago, then to Will County. After graduating Romeoville High School, she married her “high school sweetheart,” making the decision to be a “stay-at-home” mom to raise her three children. After 35 years of marriage, and recently welcoming two grandchildren, Bolton was inspired to do what she could to restore Illinois so that future generations would not be compelled to leave.

Over the past decade, Bolton has been a public servant leader in the following roles, a Plainfield Township tax collector; chairman of the Republican National Hispanic Assembly of Will County; the Will County Republican Executive Committeeman for Outreach and

a Board Member of The Spanish Community Center in Joliet.

“I am a firm believer in fewer taxes, less intrusive governmental regulations, and the responsible spending of your tax dollars,” said Bolton in her campaign materials.

ShestatedshewillgotoSpringfield and fight for transparency, honesty, and open dialog with constituents.

She will cater to what is best for taxpayers, not special interests.

While Bolton is grateful for the education she earned at Romeoville High School, she believes families should have the freedom to choose the schools where their children are educated, without being penalized for going to a private school or a public school not located in their zip code. Both Manley and Bolton ran unopposed in the primary election. The general election will be held Nov. 4.

The 98th District is located entirely within Will County and contains portions of Bolingbrook, Crest Hill, Joliet, Lockport, Plainfield and Romeoville.

The 23,000 square feet of new construction began development in April off the corner of Airport and Weber Roads, next to the now vacant Office Max.

“This is an exciting time for me. I know we can take the Bolingbrook Area Chamber of Commerce to the next level,” O’Keeffe said. O’Keeffe said he wants to improve the Chamber’s outreach to consumers in Bolingbrook and surrounding communities, making the Bolingbrook Area Chamber a resource for people trying to compare retailers and businesses. “We want Bolingbrook to be the place of choice to conduct business,” O’Keeffe said.

In addition to the TJ Maxx store, the developer, also has a new strip center constructed in front of Kohl’s and adjacent to Chili’s restaurant, with Dunkin Donuts, Chipolte and Sleepy’s, a mattress retailer, opening soon.

Across the way, at Airport and Weber Roads, is the new Goodwill store, which also recently opened Oct. 9.

Education bill would affect districts differently Law affects the 857 public school districts in Illinois, essentially pitting lower-income districts against their richer neighbors by laura katauskas sTaff rEPorTEr

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

School districts across the state claim to be cash-strapped and underfunded thanks to a system considered inequitable and archaic.

The introduction of new legislation, passed by the Senate in May, takes on an overhaul of school funding, with many area districts, such as Valley View and Joliet, standing to gain millions of dollars.

However to compensate, other more affluent districts -- such as Troy, Lockport High Schools and Plainfield -- would see a decrease in funding.

The law affects the 857 public school districts in Illinois, essentially pitting lower-income districts against their richer neighbors. Yet, both sides agree, what is needed is a fair system. Whether Senate Bill 16 does that is at the crux of a huge debate over school funding.

The bill now stands before the House of Representatives, expected to come up in November. However, the House of Representatives has remained firm on their stance they will not call the bill in its current form, with discussions on how to compensate for state-mandated programs ongoing.

A 2012 national report of the Education Law Center of New Jersey and Rutgers University, ranks Illinois next to last, at 47, out of the 48 ranked states, with the most regressive public education funding system, which means districts with high poverty populations are receiving less state and local funding than more affluent districts.

In 2014, an updated version of the report shows that Illinois made slight improvement, ranking 43rd out of 48 on that same measure of education funding distribution.

Senate Bill 16 aims to overhaul the system into a progressive system in which the majority of state funding is means-tested and distributed based on local ability to pay.

Local senators Pat McGuire, D-Crest Hill, and Jennifer BertinoTarrant, D-Shorewood, voted for the bill.

“Some districts have the local wealth to give their students the education they need to succeed,”

McGuire said. “And given the 21st century economy, some districts don’t. Senate Bill 16 addresses that problem by directing limited state resources to those districts with low property wealth and high student needs. When every student in Illinois, regardless of where he or she lives, gets an excellent education, our state will move forward.”

The Illinois State Board of Education said the legislation’s centerpiece is a completely new model for school funding that creates a weighted student formula, with approximately 82 percent of funds going through one funding stream that is equalized to account for district property wealth.

The current system, in contrast, balances 44 percent of state education funding against local ability to pay.

The ISBE explains the new weighted formula would produce student weightings to account for one or more specific student characteristics. Districts would receive more money for pupils who show one or more of a list of attributes. Proposed weights include English Language Learners, Special Education Students, LowIncome Students, Gifted Pupils, and Transportation, in which student weightings would be based on a district’s population density of those types of students.

A loss would be capped at $1,000 per student.

For districts such as Valley View, the change would be significant.

Though SB16 is still being discussed and will likely be amended before it comes for a final vote, Superintendent James Mitchem said, as currently drafted and as calculated by the Illinois State Board of Education, District 365U stands to gain an additional $490 per pupil in funding, for a total boost of $8.4 million.

“As you know, we have been hard hit by proration, losing roughly over $10 million of our operating budget over the past four years,” said Mitchem. “These new dollars are therefore badly needed as we work to ensure the best educational experience for every student. New funding – which will be phased in over four years – will allow us to maintain class sizes, and maximize

Plainfield School District 202 has not taken an official stance on the bill.

Those in favor of the bill are not all from “winning districts.”

Bertino-Tarrant said she lives in a school district -- Troy -- that would be “losing” under SB16 as it is currently written, meaning the schools her own children attend would also face reductions in state dollars.

“And while I certainly understand parents being upset about the idea that their children will ‘lose’ under this proposed legislation, the dollars we spend on education in the suburbs can’t be compared to what it means to try to educate children in Chicago or very rural southern Illinois,” said Bertino-Tarrant.

“That difference becomes glaring when we think about the fact that Chicago Public Schools need safe passage routes just to ensure that children can get to school safely every day, and some rural community schools may not have adequate heat during the winter months.

“A loss in state funding in our area might mean that we have to prioritize needs differently. This level of disparity is unacceptable.

My decision to vote for this bill was based on the fact that our children should not receive such different opportunities for success based simply on where they live,” continued Bertino-Tarrant.

State Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, agrees the funding formula needs to change, however she isn’t sure SB16 is the answer.

“We also owe it to our students, our teachers and to Illinois families

to provide needed resources for the best education possible without increasing our already skyrocketing property taxes, “ said Manley. “As it stands now, I don’t think that Senate Bill 16 is the best way to do that.

“It’s important for us to improve the quality of education services for students, especially those struggling with poverty, language barriers, high transportation costs and special needs, and I would like to thoroughly review our options so that no child falls through the cracks.

I look forward to working with my colleagues as well as area residents, administrators and educators towards a solution.”

State Rep. Emily McAsey, D-Lockport, could not be reached for comment as of press time.

Mitchem, in a plea to district parents, asked for them to join the effort to support the bill and raise awareness based on the simple belief that it provides fairness for all the students in Illinois.

“We are only as strong as our neediest children. Under our current system, no one wins,” said Mitchem. “There is no doubt that as a state we need to invest more in educating our children, but first we must ensure that we invest the dollars we have equitably.”

He points out that Illinois has cut $1.4 billion from public education since 2009; that funding disparities continue to worsen in a state with one of the largest equity gaps nationwide; and that the state spends $2,500 less per-student than what the state’s independent funding commission recommends.

Still others are vehemently opposed. State Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, created an online petition asking colleagues to vote against SB16. DuPage County schools stand to lose a total of approximately $140 million through the provisions of the bill, he said.

Sandack is the chief sponsor of House Resolution 1276, which denounces SB16 and encourages a comprehensive and fair funding reform process that is inclusive of all stakeholder points of view, according to a release.

“SB16 is nothing more than a piecemeal reallocation of state resources that will impact hundreds of school districts and cause deep budget reductions and financial uncertainty,” Sandack said.

“HR1276 calls for a more equitable and reasonable approach to education funding reform that extends outside of the parameters

of SB16’s GSA redistribution. School funding is a serious issue and our ultimate reforms should be done in a way that allows all students to be winners.”

View the online petition at www. il. http://www.ilhousegop.org/ sb16_petition.

Others have joined “Funding IL’s Future,” a collaborative campaign committed to improving how Illinois supports its students and schools, with a host of superintendents joining forces. Check out the list of districts, leaders and organizations at http://fundingilfuture.org/.

“We believe, the journey cannot, and should not, stop with Senate Bill 16,” Mitchem said. “It is increasingly clear that the state needs to invest more in its students and its future.

We should all advocate for more education funding overall.

“But during these dire times in education funding, there is even greater need for a system that directs state dollars in a focused and responsible way where they are the most needed. Senate Bill 16 does just that. “Given what’s at stake for our district, and more broadly for our entire state, we urge you to get involved and have your voice heard.

In addition, the ISBE has announced public hearings to guide FY 2016 budget development.

The ISBE is offering a series of public hearings across the state to gather opinions and ideas regarding education resources and funding as the Board develops its budget recommendation, typically sent to the General Assembly and Governor in January.

“One of the board’s most important roles is to serve as a strong advocate for sufficient and equitable funding for K-12 education to help ensure each and every student in the state is prepared for the rigors of college and careers,” said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch.

This year the hearings will also offer attendees an opportunity to voice feedback on SB16, Testimony from the FY 2016 budget hearings regarding SB 16 will be shared with legislators and ISBE staff.

Those who are unable to attend one of the five public hearings are encouraged to email any guidance or feedback to ISBE at isbefy16@ isbe.net. The nearest public budget hearings for FY 2016 in the area will be held at 5 p.m. Nov. 21 in Chicago at the Thompson Center, Conference Room 16-503, 100 West Randolph Street.

In the first few minutes of the game Friday night, it looked as if Bolingbrook was in the driver’s seat against SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division rival HomewoodFlossmoor, however, in the end, it was the Vikings that staged a come-from-behind 35-28 victory and claimed the Alec Anderson Memorial Trophy.

“We don’t point fingers, we don’t make excuses. We lost the game to a good team that coming in had two losses to teams with a combined 11-1 record,” said Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow.

“They do that and (the media) takes them out of the top 25 and we beat up on teams with losing records and get higher. We knew we were in for a war.”

IHSA playoff pairings released Bolingbrook, Romeoville look to make waves in the state series The IHSA state volleyball pairings are out and both Valley View schools got a chance to see what road they will be on come playoff time.

For Bolingbrook, the road to a state finals berth would take it right through the defending Class 4A state champion Mother McCauley.

The Raiders are the No. 15 seed in the Mother McCauley Sectional complex and are in the Shepard Regional.

Bolingbrook will open play on Monday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. against No. 19 Chicago Washington.

The winner of that match would take on No. 2 Lyons Township. An upset of the Lions would place the Raiders in a regional final match against either No. 7 Shepard or No.

10 Stagg.

Romeoville is the No. 16 seed in the Thornton Fractional South Sectional complex and will host the opening regional round. The Spartans will play host to No. 17 Bremen in the opener at 6 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 26.

The winner of that match would face top-seeded Lincoln-Way North in the regional semifinal, with the winner playing the winner of No. 8 Oak Forest and No. 9 Plainfield North for a regional title.

The Spartans are heading into the end of the season on a roll, defeating a pair of SPC teams.

Romeoville beat Plainfield South 25-19, 15-25, 25-18 Nikki Crowley had 10 service points and 13 assists, while Lyric Miles had eight kills and Brooke Leach added five kills.

Jasmine Benitez tallied 10 digs.

The Spartans also beat Oswego 25-18, 22-25, 25-23.

Andrea Chaidez had 10 kills, while Miles had 5 kills. Nikki Crowley added 17 assists .

GAME 8:

bolingbrook @ l-incoln---way E. The details: Bolingbrook (5-2, 3-1) has to get the offense right. In a key game against H-F, the Raiders could not sustain drives when they needed. No doubt H-F is a good team but so are the Griffins (6-1, 3-1). A win here would give the Raiders a share of the SWSC title.

Photo By Mark gregory

Bolingbrook has to play solid defense this week to beat the Griffins.

Keys to the game: Don’t give up the big play. For as heralded as the Raider defense is, it has been hit by big plays in wins and

game time Friday, 7:30 p.m. losses this year. East will pound the football and the D line needs to get penetration.

T h ur sday, October 16, 2014 | boli ng broo kbug le.com time as a running back this season, then scored the TD on a 2-yard plunge.

On the ensuing Viking’s possession, junior linebacker

Tuf Borland forced a fumble and returned it 6-yards to pay dirt, giving Bolingbrook a fast 14-0 lead.

The Viking were then able to

hit the Raiders with big plays, which has been their Achilles’ heel all season.

H-F junior quarterback Bryce Gray hit 14 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns to Two of those catches were to senior wide receiver Jared Sharp, who hauled in five passes for 172 yards.

He had an 81-yard score and then the eventual game-winner from 34-yards out, with 6:18 left in the game.

“We worked on shutting down their other weapons and when you take him away, it opens someone else up. The kid that caught those balls, he wasn’t on the top of our scouting report,” Ivlow said.

The Raiders focused their attention on Kendric Pryor (6 catches, 97 yards), tight

end James Sheehan and twin brothers Deante and Devonte Harley-Hampton. Devonte had 135 yards on 21 carries, and a touchdown, while Devonte scored on a 1-yard plunge just before halftime.

For Bolingbrook, Quincy Woods caught three passes for 40 yards and had more than 150 yards in return yardage for the Raiders.

Woods had a 74-yard kickoff return in between the two Sharp TD catches set up Julian Huff’s second 1-yard TD of the game, tying the score at 28-28.

The kickoff was pushed back after a taunting penalty by Sharp on the race to the endzone.

Isaac Lane paced the Raiders’ run game with yards on 12 carries.

The Raiders lost a pair of key players to injury, including right guard and punter and receiver Dimitri Akenten.

Akenten’s injury was a crucial one, as it happened on what Ivlow called a “missed” roughing the punter call when he was sandwiched between a pair of H-F defenders. It hampered Bolingbrook in the punt game, as well as eliminating Akenten’s 6-foot, 4-inch frame in key passing situations late in the contest.

All-in-all, Ivlow is not worried about one more loss on the Raiders’ resume.

“Naperville Central won the title last year with three losses.

Losses don’t bother us, as long as we get in, we will play anybody in the playoffs. To get where you want to go, you have to beat them all anyway, so it doesn’t matter what order they come in,” he said. “We lost to a good team and it will make up more ready for the playoffs. We will look at film and correct our mistakes.

We have a few guys injured we need to get back, this is the most banged up we have been.”

GAME 8:

plainfield e. @ romeoville The details: The Spartans got up big last week and let the game get away from them in the second half against Plainfield North.

The seniors need to step up and make sure they try and win the next two games to end their career on a high note.

The loss eliminated Romeoville from a return trip to the playoffs and made the last two games basically meaningless except for pride..

For the underclassmen, these next two games are about preparation.

Keys to the game: Have that pride.

Starting with Anthony Kitchens, who has proved to be a quality quarterback, the Spartan coaches have to find a way to send the

game time 7 p.m. Friday seniors out in style and still get those young kids on the field and use these games to get ready for next season.

How can procrastinators bridge the gap between intention and action? We’ll tell you how

Last month, I had the privilege of interviewing productivity guru David Allen, who wrote a seminal work on the topic called “Getting Things Done: The Art of StressFree Productivity”. At the Financial Planning Association’s Annual Conference, David captivated 1,800 CFP(r) professionals with a terrific explanation of how easily we can be distracted and the best way to find focus and vision.

I thought about David after trying to conduct research on why people procrastinate. It’s not that we are inherently lazy, and according to Joseph Ferrari, a professor of psychology at DePaul University, who has been is a pioneer of modern research on the subject, “It really has nothing to do with timemanagement...As I tell people, to tell the chronic procrastinator to just do it would be like saying to a clinically depressed person, cheer up.”

Ferrari has found that as many as a quarter of people may be chronic procrastinators and it causes them stress, a drop in overall well-being and not surprisingly, can cost them money too - think late fees on credit cards, which add up to billions of dollars annually; filing taxes at the last minute, which prevents many from claiming many deductions to which they are entitled; and of course, failure to save for retirement, which can create financial problems in the future.

It’s not that procrastinators don’t know what to do-they understand that they really should track their expenses or draft a will, but they can’t bring themselves to do it. Ferrari says that some procrastinators avoid making financial decisions due to a psychological reluctance to be held responsible for a decision.

Perhaps one spouse avoids all of the financial and investment decisions

not because he or she “isn’t good at that stuff”, but the uninvolved spouse wants to retain the right to second-guess the money-managing spouse later!

How can procrastinators bridge the gap between intention and action? David Allen says that part of the problem is that all of the things we have to do are rattling around our brains, causing us to drive ourselves a little crazy. He notes, “Until you see yourself doing it, you won’t see how to do it”. The good news is you can actually change your attention and focus by firing your neurons to be sensitive to the tasks that need addressing.

Allen’s system starts by capturing all the things that need to get down; imposing discipline so that you are in control; and then creating a plan for next actions. Once you get the stuff out of your brain and write it

It can help to do this at the time of day when you have the most energy.

Also, when you are addressing those hard-to-accomplish tasks, try to limit distractions. I know that may sound nearly impossible in our hyper-connected world, but for some chunk of time, remove audio and visual alerts of new messages, do not log into social media and avoid opening too many windows on your browser.

According to experts, precommitting to goals can help.

There are also some concrete steps to take in your financial life, like establishing automatic deductions from your paycheck to a savings account, enrolling in a retirement plan and setting up autopay on as many bills as possible. If you think you need professional help, schedule that appointment and keep it!

Finally, Ferrari advises rewarding yourself for completing that to-do. It’s fun to share your accomplishment with one of your cheerleaders (spouse, parent, pal); spending extra time with your kids, your friends or giving yourself a mental break by doing something physical. Finally, you can also treat yourself by spending small dollars on something that you rarely do... after all, you’ve earned it!
