Discipline is constructive rather than destructive
Posted in Random Thoughts, tagged linkedin on June 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This morning as I was having my personal quiet time, I came across a reading on “Discipline”. What caught my attention was how it related to people I deal with sometimes getting organized who feel that discipline is a form a punishment – completely missing the more constructive meaning of the word. Discipline, as my [...]

It’s not my original concept, I actually learned it from my ActionCoach, Yolanda Duperret. However, at a speaking event that I had yesterday, one of my evaluation’s came back with the response that one of the new skills they would implement right away would be the “default diary”.
What is a default diary? It’s an activity [...]

I was so disappointed to read that Obama’s email can be filtered on his Blackberry. I have tried everything to filter junkmail to no avail.
So apparently the technology is there to filter it, I just can’t wait until it’s made available to the rest of us.
I guess I’ll stick with my email on my desktop, I’m [...]

I’m definitely not an expert on the pyschology of hoarding, but I do know a thing or two about what makes my skin crawl when I hear a story like I heard today.

2008 Was it so great?

I am often personally challenged by the holidays – personally. I really always thought I’d grow up in the “traditional” way of being married, have a few kids, do all the things I grew up doing on the holidays, i.e., make a big dinner, get dressed up and go caroling, go ice skating at Rockefeller [...]

Holiday Travel Organizing Tip

If you will be going out of town for the holidays, make a master packing list early. If you will be flying, do not bother wrapping gifts. They will be unwrapped at the airport. It is best to mail presents ahead of time, so they will be there when you arrive.

I teach a seminar on Getting Organized. One of the techniques to keep on top of things is to use a tickler system. However, many times people go out of town on the weekends, or like me over the holidays.
How do you keep up when everything is at the office? You don’t want to take [...]
