Managing the “Nothing” Time

If you're trying to set aside blocks of time to be productive on a specific thing, here are a few tips for managing those blank blocks - which I refer to as "the Nothing" in your schedule.

The Key to Success – A Simple 44-Step Process

I won't make you go through a 44-step process. I was inspired by something I read, and want to tell you about it. Because you shouldn't be afraid of something just because it sounds big and overwhelming.

Traveling When You’re Not In Control

Once I check in at the airport, I put myself into the loving arms of the airline. And whatever happens after that, it's their job to get me to the place I'm going.

Do Less – Get More Done. Really.

I have to get my next book written. So I made a big sign to post on the wall in front of my workstation. It just says, "Do Less!" I know that doesn't make sense to some people . . . until you think about it.

Is Too Much Enough?

Spring is a great time for the re-emergence of this. After all, Spring Cleaning is often just tackling one more pile (or set of piles) that we didn't tackle last Spring.

Meditating . . . on Your Last Vacation

A great way to enjoy meditation is to spend time reliving the best parts of your last vacation. For me, that's a sunset on the beach.

Kind Goal-Setting for the New Year

Make this a year for recognizing the accomplishments and forgiving the shortfalls. After all, you're guaranteed to have both of them.

Embrace the Traditions of Change

Change happens whether you push against it, welcome it wholeheartedly, or attempt to mold it as comes.

You Put Yourself Where You Are

Whether it's creating a new future or maintaining a status quo, we get what we work toward. My motto for life and business is, "Nothing Happens by Itself." So, if I don't like some aspect of my life, I need to accept that I did whatever it took to create my current reality.

Your Mind Doesn’t Do You A Lot of Favors

When we recall memories, we also apply filtering. As we pull them out of storage, we re-write them just a bit to fit within our world view and to provide consistency with other memories.
