I've been pondering something lately ... and the ponderance continues so bear with me if this doesn't become completely clear as I write it out. It's meant for discussion and exchange of ideas so any opinions are welcome here. This discussion comes from many different events that have occurred in recent times ... and if you recognize a reference to ( Read more... )

Today I lack motivation to focus on what I should be focused on. My to-do-before-friday list is way too long but I can't seem to progress on any of the individual items. As soon as I turned my attention to this week's newsletter, the association contacts started sending me a ton of changes to the list, I have writer's block on the article I'm ( Read more... )

Trying to streamline some things in my life... I'm finding myself stressing way too much over things that really shouldn't be that stressful ( Read more... )
