SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 2015 7 B PS Winkles hosts signing for author Friday Grant-writing workshop Sally Sherwood Rash knows how to get things done. “We all have things we want done. We just don’t get started,” says the Florence author at the outset of her recently published first book. “Sally’s Silly Small Step System” addresses this every- day dilemma in a common- sense approach. And her system works. “It is exactly as stated — small, often timed steps to start and finish the things we put off,” Rash says. “Most of us will be surprised at how much can be accomplished in a set amount of time. In most cases the task is finished in less time than we have put into fretting over it.” Rash, a resident of Oregon for 50 years and a Florence resident for 14 years, will talk about her book and sign copies at PS Winkles on Bay Street on Friday, July 17, from 1 to 4 p.m. small-step app- roach to getting things done and was voted a suc- cess.
