    TIP 2713 – How Single Tasking Keeps You Productive

    Listen to today's podcast... Do You Find It Hard To Stay Focused? Have you ever had your computer lock up when you have opened too many files or programs at once? Sometimes when we try to multi-task, we may actually freeze up, lock up or quit performing at our peak.  Researchers have studied human multi-tasking for the past 25 years or so and have found that the brain cannot fully focus when multi-tasking.  We take longer to complete tasks, and are predisposed to error.  The pressure to get more and more done, and toggle between one task and another creates a great deal of stress and pressure on the mind and body. Developing the ability to focus completely on a single task can help in our energy management.   Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Building Resiliency and Celebrating Single Tasking Day: Single-Tasking should be our main way of operating when needing to accomplish important tasks Let go of the idea that the more we tackle at any given time, the more productive we are or will be We have become like junkies in many ways, by needing a ‘fix’.  We check our emails, notices and webpages out of curiosity.  By setting time aside for these activities, we fill our curiosity, yet we are more likely to stay on task and complete that task more efficiently and effectively  Looking for more ways to build your resiliency?

    TIP 2711 – How Not To Let Time Control You

    Listen to today's podcast... We never seem to be able to find ‘the time’.  Stop looking.  You will never find it.  It isn’t lost.  You are living in it. So what kinds of things waste our time? 44.7% of the more than 10,000 people polled cited personal internet use as their #1 distraction at work. Today’s Time Truth: If we fail to control the events in our life, then the events in our life will control us. Planning is key to performance. Not planning wastes time and energy. According to one survey the average worker admits to wasting away 2.09 hours per 8-hour workday, which is twice as much time as their employers expect. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      So Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Time Management Month: Eliminate useless meetings. Insist on short, well-planned, morning stand-up meetings. They are the least likely to waste your time and interfere with your work. Stop thinking that you can multi-task. Prioritize and then break up your day accordingly. Don’t move on to the next task until you’ve really completed the previous one. Not only will you do a better job when you’re focused, you’ll also force yourself to finish something within the time allotted. Come up for air. Productivity declines after a certain period, so pump up your productivity with scheduled breaks.

    TIP 2708 - How Heritage Makes You Who You Are

    Listen to today's podcast... On one particular visit home, I learned that my grandma didn’t learn English until she went to public school. Up till then, she spoke German. I had no idea that my maternal grandma came from a German background. I had just assumed that she was English, like my grandpa. Understanding our heritage is important. I grew up in a farming family. This meant that the ‘farm’ came first and that everyone in that family was responsible to make the farm successful.  Families helped each other, as more often than not, we were related to our neighbours in some way, and that conflict was put aside to get things done.  Happy or not. I see a lot of conflict that happens on family farms when someone new comes into the farm family that doesn’t share those same values to the extent that the rest of the family does.  These values are neither right or wrong, but unless the differences and expectations are talked about, openly and respectfully, the conflict festers and grows. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Heritage Day: Whether you like it or not, heritage is what makes you who you are. Things like values, culture, food, and traditions are all past down. Your heritage is the foundation on which you stand.  It is the very thing that has gotten you to where you are now. Honor your past by the way you carry yourself in the present. Share your heritage with your children to create a solid foundation for them. If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know.

    TIP 2707 – It is My Way Day and I Like It My Way

    Listen to today's podcast... Today is My Way Day. Yes, it is MY way or the highway! I like MY way, it is the RIGHT way. It is the ONLY way! Why, because I said so. I know it is so. You just haven’t realized it to be so. And until you come around to my way of thinking, just do as I say, and life will be much better for all of us. And don’t argue with me. When it is Your Way Day, I’ll do what you say, so, till then, remember it is MY Way Day! I jest, but part of it is true.  I really do want things my way.  It’s all about control and I like to have control.  I can be seen as a difficult person and in fact I am one of the ‘characters’ that I talk about in my workshops.  When we understand what motivates others and what motivates ourselves, it is much easier to deal with the negative sides of these personalities. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Building Resiliency and Celebrating My Way Day: Just because it is My Way Day, don’t expect that everything will go your way, because funny enough, others think it is their way day too. Learn what pushes your buttons and learn what pushes other people’s buttons.  Relaxation skills can help to reduce that overwhelmed, frustrated feeling, helping to prevent you from stomping around.
