  • EP 528 - How Not To Procrastinate
    How many of us couldn’t use an extra hour each day? Planning before starting each day, is said to save us this hour, as we are more effective at using the time that we have. Sometimes though we just can’t seem to get our act together.
    Maybe we just can’t seem to get past our urge to procrastinate. It may be that we are being too perfectionistic, or we dislike the task or person that we have to work with. We could be too tired or fear that we might fail. Sometimes it is just a matter of the task not being a part of our goals and priorities.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Procrastination Week:
    To Avoid Procrastination, we need to:
    Find the answer to ‘What’s In It For Me”. Why do I need to accomplish the task at hand and what benefit will there be for me when I finish it?
    Chunk your time – set a timer. The timer helps you to become more realistic about how long various tasks take.
    Watch out for time gobblers – internet, email, TV, phone, socializing, unimportant notices and forwards
    Delegate when the task is not part of your priority. Not everything has to be done or should be done by you. Let go of your need to control everything.
    Make it fun by rewarding yourself. It is easier to start and finish a task if there is a reward at the end of it…by the way, my chocolate covered almonds are waiting for me as soon as I finish this flash briefing. Till tomorrow have a wonderful day!

  • EP 527 – Telecommuting May Be The Answer
    It’s not a bird. Nor a plane…It’s the Telecommuter!
    A survey of employees who telecommute three days a week experienced a
    46% decrease in stress,
    45% increase in job satisfaction, and
    30% increase in job productivity.
     
    In addition, telecommuting provides an opportunity to create a more harmonious balance between home and work commitments. Three-quarters of employees polled said the ability to work from home was their most desired family-friendly job perk.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Telecommuter Appreciation Week:
    For some, telecommuting may be a viable option that allows for an increase in productivity and more sense of control over when tasks get accomplished.
    If you think that this is for you, sit down with your work team and discuss how this may be implemented.  If telecommuting isn’t the answer, at least you have opened the door to looking for other alternatives to maintaining work and life balance.
    Though I am not a true telecommuter, I am an entrepreneur with a home-based office.  I appreciate the flexible work arrangements that I have.  Some days, I work all day and into the evening.  On other days, I may find myself helping out a family member or pulling the weeds from my gardens.  This flexibility gives me the balance that I want and need.

  • EP 525 – Goodwill, Peace And Understanding
    The quest for goodwill, peace and understanding among people of the world. This is the fourth avenue of service for the Rotary Club.
    With all of the chaos and conflict happening in the world, we need courage to take a stand and promote peace in our communities.
    We do this by digging in and learning how to understand other people's cultures, by promoting engagement with others, and by building strong, diverse communities.
    So Here are Today’s Hot Tips for Building Resiliency and Celebrating National World Understanding Month:
    The first part of expanding our understanding is to recognize that every cultural group has unique strengths and perspectives that the larger community can benefit from.
    We need a wide range of ideas, customs, and wisdom to solve problems and enrich community life. It is by bringing non-mainstream groups into the center of civic activity that we get fresh perspectives and shed new light on tough problems.
    Here are some questions that may help you think about and understand your community:
    How would you define your community? Does it have geographical boundaries? Is it local or global?
    Who lives in your community right now?
    What kinds of diversity already exists?
    What issues do different cultural groups have in common?
    These are just a few of the questions that can expand your understanding and this insight can lead to an increase of goodwill, cooperation, and peace in your community.
