Today, I posted an article about thinking on my EADD blog. Here’s a quote from the article:
A Stanford Institute study showed that 79% of people do not think. When I first heard that, it shocked me. But upon further thought, that pretty much fits into the 80/20 rule.
Enjoy the full article.
Rhonda Hebbard, from Luxor Marketing, posted some ideas about distraction on her blog. She related an experience she had with distraction with somethings I had told her recently. Enjoy!
Why do we do this, the article sights several good reasons. I have one additional reason - you refuse to lower your standards. The clients you keep do business on your terms and everybody benefits because you can provide higher quality service to your clients.
Enjoy!
Last week was quite the week for me. Monday was tax preparation day, Tuesday was filled with travel and meetings, Wednesday I was sick as a dog, Thursday was a catch-up day, and Friday was another snow filled day. Needless to say, this was not the typical week.
Every once in awhile it’s good to have weeks like that - they help me appreciate all the other weeks when the weather is good, my health is well, and everything seems to be moving along nicely.
Weeks like this past one also allow me to take a breather, get out of my normal routine and recharge. In other words, I’ve been given an opportunity for a fresh start.
Don’t wait for illness to force you to take a break - schedule yourself a break, even if only for half a day. Don’t worry about all the work that won’t get done - it will in its own good time. I can guarantee you that you’ll come back refreshed, your head will be clear, and you’ll be more focused than previously - meaning, you’ll be more productive.
So when’s your next fresh start occurring?
My first book was just published. It’s called Speaking of Success. There are other authors involved in this book as well - people like Ken Blanchard, Jack Canfield and Stephen Covey. It’s a book about success, just as the title implies. If you are a person who seeks success or looking to overcome obstacles in your way - this is the book for you. If you have an interest in buying the book - Please go here.
