Genuine Enthusiasm as Profound Marketing
I’ve just been subjected to an hour of ABBA tunes at full volume and some of their tunes are still living in my brain as ear worms. The perfect antidote I thought was to use the experience as inspiration for this post.
Actually, I’m one of those who like ABBA (you either do or you really [...]
What leads to clutter?
In a previous post on Dec 12th, I talked about the cost of a messy desk, and how clutter was an energy drain. At the time, I had cleaned up my desk and was feeling rather good about it.
Three weeks later, I want to contemplate on why keeping our space de-cluttered is such a [...]
Not a good idea to start the day with e-mails, Twitter and Facebook
How do I know? Because I do it all the time , using the following reasoning:
“If I get rid of the little things like dealing with e-mails and writing Tweets and checking out Facebook, I’ll clear the decks and my mind will be freer to concentrate on the longer, harder projects. Besides, it should [...]
No wonder it’s hard to change
As a living being, we have amazingly powerful survival instincts, and they don’t like change because it represents the unknown.
Unknown means unproven which may mean danger, who knows? So our instinct thinks we’re better off to stay the way we are.
But eating a healthier diet (for example) is good for me, not a threat!
Never mind [...]
A close encounter with fear
How ironic! I’ve watched myself procrastinate for a week finishing my opt-in enticement, an e-course called “How to Stop Fear from Ruining Your Day…and Your Business”.
And of course, it was a form of fear that was stopping me from getting it done.
Fear that it won’t be as good on paper as it is in my [...]
Nothing is as Tiring as Pointless Work
My most draining days have been when they were full of long, hard work of the kind that I dislike doing, and either:
I didn’t see the point of it all
Or I didn’t see when it would end.
It seems like nothing is as tiring as pointlessness. We humans are problem solving machines. We need context. We [...]
How to Pace Ourselves at Work
In my last post, I talked about how studies conclusively show that we perform much better if we take periodic breaks; not only do we take less time to complete our work, but we make less mistakes.
Now most people including me find it hard to remember to do that in the heat of deadlines, when [...]
Why Hard Work Doesn’t Necessarily Pay Off
You are facing a major deadline. The best way to perform at your best is to:
Buckle down and focus on the job until it’s done.
Make sure you keep up with the social chats around the water cooler.
Studies have shown that by far, the best alternative is…the second one. Surprised? Most people are. But it makes [...]
What is really draining your energy?
Yes, most of us would feel better if we changed our nutrition and fitness behaviors. But as important as they are, they are not the root cause of our personal” deflation”.
Root Causes
The root causes are more likely our feelings. Skeptical? Well, how much more energized do you think you would be at the end of [...]
Most of us don’t believe that we can feel fully alive
The shockingly sad and true post title is a quote from a book called “High Energy Living” by Robert K. Cooper. Most of us accept this either because we’ve forgotten what it feels like to really feel good, and/or because we don’t know how we can change.
Sure we can reduce stress for a while, go on vacation [...]
