Do you feel drowsy during the day or evening? Is tiredness affecting your daily activities on a regular basis? Do you fall asleep often when you sit down to relax? Are you irritable with others around you? If you answer yes to a couple of these, most likely you are sleep deprived. LONG WORK HOURS Staying at work way beyond the normal eight hours is the biggest determinant of how much sleep Americans get in a typical day. Overtime is a common occurrence in many indus... more...

Are you familiar with the expression of a \"bird\'s eye view\". It\'s when you view things from a bird\'s perspective; far different than that which you see standing on earth. A bird\'s eye view allows you to grasp the entire landscape and see the interconnectedness of things that appear separate when you view them from land. The reason I talk about a \"bird\'s eye view\" is because this concept lead me to facilitate a process at my retreat, in... more...

Sometimes it seems like the world is divided into two types of people, those who have money and those who work for them. Have you ever wondered what the rich have that you don\'t? Are they smarter? Luckier? Do they work harder? The answer is that they work less but their money works harder. In fact the truly wealthy have automatic wealth building systems in place. But having a wealth building system isn\'t all that seperates them from the rest of us. What sets them... more...

Beign in partnership with your spouse can be a great way to enjoy work. You know each other better than anyone else that can make working with him or her easier than working with a stranger. You know their work ethic and habits, this leaves no surprises to get in the way of working together. You are also better able to solve any work conflict that could arise. When working with your husband or wife you are able to be yourself. No putting on a show to impress the boss. You are also able to... more...

What do you think you should you be doing right now instead of reading this? I bet your brain\'s already coming up with any number of options that your guilt system can latch onto in an instant. Having a should collection is a widespread and generally accepted form of mental clutter. But the good news is that if you choose not to accept the mental should clutter and instead set about decluttering it, you can liberate your own mind, freeing yourself up to lead a more fulfilling and su... more...

We cannot do anything to increase the hours in a day. Time management? Who can accomplish that? Time just keeps on keeping on throughout each day. We have control only of what we do during our 24/7 each week. Being fully engaged is essential when we are working to make wise choices in using our mental, emotional and physical energy for optimal productivity. Making the most of our brainpower keeps us thinking clearly and creatively. That is what makes the difference in how pro... more...

When you read the title of this article, what do you think about? What pictures come to mind? Did you imagine a bright red circle you\'d use to teach a child about shapes? Perhaps you thought of a basketball hoop, or ball? Maybe you thought of a medicine wheel, or a full moon? Some of you probably thought about Conscious Business Circle(if you\'re a member). If you\'ve ever participated in an in-person Circle experience, then (like me) you probably thought about a circ... more...

Moving supplies, a packing plan and supply list can help reduce stress and allow you to have more control over the situation. Even if you only have a month until the move, creating a plan and using it throughout the move will keep items from being damaged, items from becoming missing or lost, and will allow you to pack the moving truck easily for a safe move. If you plan on packing yourself, it is a good idea to buy cardboard boxes, over sized trash bags, packing tape, zip ties, bubble... more...

Regardless of whether you work from home or not, working long hours is not productive or emotionally fulfilling after awhile. Even though you may be extremely busy, working ten or twelve hours may not help you catch up since there will always be more work for you to accomplish. Learning how not to be a workaholic takes time and discipline but with a little practice, you will be able to find a balance between your work and your life. If people are always commenting on the amount of time y... more...

You have to spend time thinking and planning. This requires learning how to think. It requires learning how to plan. The more you research, think and plan, the easier it will be for you to execute your plan. This is quite important and another problem area I have noticed between those who succeed and those who don\'t. Successful people plan and think. They are always thinking. Unsuccessful marketers look for the easy street. Successful marketers think of their plans whil... more...
