Uncertainty and change are life's constants.  And when you think about it, that's the fun part.

Take Action

You can't wait for someone to tell you it's okay to try.  It's up to you to take the first step.  Nobody can stop you unless you are willing to let them stop you.  Sometimes you have to take a chance.

Quiet Time

Quiet time is key to clear thinking and increases your likelihood of asking the right questions.

Setting The Bar High

If you have accomplished all that you have planned for yourself, you have not planned enough.

Just Say No

Be careful about saying yes to everything.  Trying to do it all will crowd out the mental energy you need for what matters most.  Be at 100% of your best for the work that matters most.

Break Time

Taking a break is one of the most productive things you can do.  Your brain has a limited pool of energy, and once that reserve is depleted, so too are your focus and productivity.  Breaks not only allow you to recharge, they prevent you from hitting the wall.  Whenever we rest, we exchange our time for energy.

Yes vs. No

Every time we say "yes" to something, we are saying "no" to something else.  The question becomes, "Is what I'm saying 'yes' to important enough to say 'no' to something else significant in my life?"

Intentional Attention

The quality of your attention determines the quality of your life.  The more attention you give to what's in front of you, the more productive you become, and the more meaningful your life becomes.  So...where's your attention?

Task Focus

A recent study on productivity found that when we continually switch between tasks, our work takes 50% longer, compared with doing one task from start to completion.  Focus!
