	From Start to Finish - Strategies for Getting the Job Done

	"I was 33 years old when my therapist told me, 'You will develop systems and strategies to compensate for your cognitive challenges. In fact, when you turn 50, your peers will start their cognitive decline due to aging and they won't have the systems and strategies that you do. At that time you will go to the head of the class.' Even though my thinking was slower, I remember feeling appalled that she was trying to cheer me up. Funny thing, I turned 50 last year and started teaching my organization and time management systems and strategies to my peers." -Lois McElravy
