Frustrated by tax season yet?

Saw a great documentary (An Inconvenient Tax) about the way our tax system has been perverted and the inequalities that have resulted from it.

Hint: It’s not the ones that you think.

Enjoy.

Their “call to action” is at FixTheTax.org even if the name of the movie isn’t so original

Considering this is something that affects every single American, at a minimum, it’s worth becoming more informed on the topic.

Inch by Inch….

it’s a cinch.

I despise doing taxes.

I’d honestly rather clean up my kids projectile vomiting from the floor than prepare them.

In the past, I’ve said, “Ok, I really hate this job, so I’m just going to do it in a marathon session so I can just get this out the door.”

What happens is that I spend 4 hours doing something I can’t stand and, what’s more, there’s always some information that I don’t have and thus can’t complete it.

This year, I took a different tack. Perhaps because I felt like I couldn’t devote a marathon session to it.

I just said, “ok, I’m going to do an hour every other night for 2 weeks [deadline] and then I’ll be done.”

What happened?

I got it done, still hated it, but the stress level was much lower. It was manageable (or at least more so).

A mental trick perhaps, but for me, it worked.
