Productivity During Short Winter Days and Long Winter Nights
Wednesday Feb 18, 2009
Wednesday Feb 18, 2009
The holidays are over, the snow doesn’t seem so pretty anymore, and we’re all ready to see some sunshine again. This is the time of year when even on those really dreary days it’s important to remember that spring is right around the corner. If you aren’t careful, it is much too easy to end up in a late winter slump, which can cause good sprits and productivity to go right down the drain.
Take heart! Long days and beautiful weather will be here again before we know it. And in the meantime, there’s plenty we can do to get the most out of short winter days and long winter nights.

Go on a Low-Information Diet and Increase Efficiency

Monday Jan 26, 2009
Pretty much anybody you ask will tell you they’re pressed for time. There just aren’t enough hours to get it all done, yadda yadda yadda. So we prioritize, streamline, and simplify. You can improve your efficiency until you’re blue in the face, not to mention very tightly wound, but you still aren’t addressing one of the biggest time and energy wasters in your day: incoming information. As my 12-year-old daughter, Meagan, would text on her phone: “TMI” (translation: Too Much Information).
If the 21st century has brought us anything, it is WAY too much information. You can watch several channels full of cable news 24 hours a day. You can surf the internet on any topic until you can’t see straight. Most people could heat their home with the amount of junk mail they receive on a continuous basis. Imagine the time and productivity lost just sorting though it all!
So why not join me and put yourself on a low-information diet? Make this the year that you say “NO MORE!” to the endless onslaught of time-wasting, productivity-eating, stress-inducing STUFF coming at you.
Listen below for a few ideas to get you started.
