I have covered many topics on productivity, most cover ambition and perseverance or some sort of psychobabble. In this one article I’ll try to get less philosophical and to the point! The bottom line is if you are behind time you have more stress and distractions, both of these can easily stack up like bad Tetris move. It’s time to take control of time and goals. These tips will help you, meditation and positive optimism will guide you, and success “as it always does” will power you. Here is ten quick tips to controlling time for better productivity. 1. Time, controlling your time and not letting time control you is essential in moving ahead. You need to be ahead of the game as much as possible. 2. Start your day with importance and lose interest later on. Use your first hour to attack the day, this needs to be focused non-distracted time. 3. Stop Facebook and any other time wasting website. Your computer should be for business, news, and a little personal activity. If you want fun go outside! 4. Keep your cell phone off. If you work from home get a second line for business and leave your cell phone in the other […]
If you have ever met me in person then it’s safe to say you know how relaxed I am. Some people might say I talk slow and or act reserved. Some people might think it comes of snooty or as if I don’t care about the situation. The truth is, one of the biggest lessons I have learned in life is how stress works.

It wasn’t long after I realized what stress was and how important it is for everyone. Needless to say I apologized to my mother. The first thing I learned about stress is without a doubt it has major physical ramifications. Just because we can’t see it effecting us doesn’t mean it is not real and that the effect is not detrimental. In fact the more I study stress the more I have learned […]
1. It ain’t over till the fat lady sings. Batman has won more fights at the last minute than we can count. The singing, the lady — it’s a good metaphor. But we actually mean this one literally. Leave an opera before the fat lady sings, and you know what is over? Your life as anything other than an orphan, that’s what. Learn to appreciate a little culture every once in a while — it just might save your parents’ lives. 2. Never trust a man who smiles all the time.

Good and evil, friend and foe, life and death — there are two sides to every action, two aspects to every personality. Believe in original sin, but also in original virtue. And remember, most of all, that everybody has the capacity for both. 4. Some days, you just can’t get rid of a bomb. A group of nuns, a flock of ducks, even a marching band — on a pier for crying out loud! Some days it’s as if the whole world is conspiring against […]
