Phil’s still wrestling with what to do to get back to center, and the comments on his post show that people are really reacting and resonating with what he’s discovered. What would you say to Phil about saying yes? No More Mr Yes – [Make it Great]
Well, selecting the right gift for our menfolk isn’t always a walk in the park because they have completely different mindsets from us. We, the ladies, are often drawn to the intentions of the gifts – whether your better half pays attention to what you like or hints you’ve been dropping year-long. Men are entirely different species. Don’t get me wrong, but men are target-oriented and practical. They fancy gifts that can either help them with everyday life problems or things they can quickly identify with....
Just imagine how all that stuff piles up over time. If the average home has 300,000 items collected over the course of 10 years, that’s 30,000 things per year. It’s a mind-blowing thought. Needless to say, no one needs to hold on to so many items. Yet it’s not always easy to decide what to keep and what to let go. If you’ve ever looked around your home and realized that it’s time to scale back, you may have become overwhelmed by the sheer size of the task....
Incessant hurry often leads us to make mistakes– personally and professionally. We often don’t have enough time for those closest to us who most need our attention. In our blind rush we can end up causing incidents and accidents. We miss life’s special little moments by not having time for anybody, including ourselves. This in turn leads to more stress, frustration, and regret. When in doubt, pause. We all know that stress can lead to bad decisions....
1. Reduced Off Gasses From Manufacturing Choosing to by organic doesn’t just mean fruits and vegetables that have no additives or pesticides sprayed on them or chicken that is free of antibiotics. You see when you buy a traditional mattress, it often contains a slew of chemicals that aren’t fully off-gassed before packaging. An organic mattress will not contain any volatile organic compounds – often found from the off gassing of traditional mattresses during manufacturing....
Research Background A large group of middle-aged men of high risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) were recruited. They were given questionnaires which ask them whether they had a vacation and how they felt after that. Findings Mmore than 12,866 middle aged men (between the ages of 35 and 57 years) at high risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) determined that the frequency of annual vacations, a common form of respite, is associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality and, more specifically, mortality attributed to CHD....
It leads us to believe that personal branding is more a process of posting interesting links on Twitter and owning a good-looking website than discovering who you truly are and making meaningful connections with other people. Don’t get me wrong – digital technology is crucial in the process of building your personal brand. It enables you to leverage your time, distribute your message and – of course – reach out to, and be discovered by, potential employers....

And yes, Lifehack has had its share in covering this area already. For instance, by doing a simple search on Google you can quickly find out that there are more than 6,000 pages on Lifehack that mention GTD in one way or the other. So the whole idea seems discussed enough, right? Perhaps…but it is definitely worth revisiting as we enter a new year. Consider that despite thousands of articles around the internet there is still one main problem with GTD – it’s not a methodology that’s easy to grasp....

During the days that they have gym class, the children only get two recesses. Also, some of the papers I read mentioned that sometimes a punishment can result in missing a recess. Or, if work needs to be finished, that could require the student to also miss recess. I’m a go-with-the-flow type of parent, but I will admit that this surprised me. Indisputable Facts About Recess According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, “Recess plays a vital role in child development, benefitting children emotionally, socially, physically, and academically....
Reading through your descriptions, I think your guess is spot on. I’m a yoga teacher, and the best hours of my day are the ones I spend helping my students to open up and relax. Over the summer I had the idea to teach at one of the local lakes, first on the shore and then out in the water on paddle boards. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s a whole new dimension when you know you won’t hurt yourself if you fall!...

The sponge cake is usually white or vanilla, but using chocolate, sponge cake has become quite popular in recent years. When the Swiss Cake Roll is a chocolate one with a white whipped cream filling, it is sometimes called a “chocolate log.” In Belgium, France, and several other European countries, the chocolate Swiss Cake Roll is called a “Yule log” or “Buche de Noel” for Christmas and is decorated with chocolate frosting and confectioners’ sugar to resemble snow on a Yule log....

Introduction to GreaseMonkey: Sometimes when you use a web service, you thought wouldn’t be faster if the developer has added this button so that you don’t have to go thru all those navigations. Like me, I find it very harsh by not having a delete button in my Gmail account. Everytime I need to delete an email, I need to go to the pull down menu and select “Move to Trash”....
