This is just a quick post to share a post I came across. Yes there are some pitfalls to working from home and this gives solutions to four of them. Another I do is use Skype to have kind of water cooler office chat with people I know who also work at home. we can chat away as we work without feeling the need to concentrate on the conversation too much, even long silences are fine because we know … Continue reading
A new skill I have been working on lately is learning to recognize when I have drifted of course mentally. I have given myself the excuse that as a creative, right brain person I will naturally be thinking laterally and going outside the box. That’s fine in some circumstances but it isn’t always helpful. Learning to tune in and pay attention to where my thoughts are at any precise time is a challenge. The internet is the greatest … Continue reading
I just came across this quote and felt inspired to share it. “If the wind will not serve, take to the oars”. What a great attitude. If things in your life aren’t taking you in the direction you would like or they aren’t taking you anywhere at all, there are always the oars. Yes it’s not as easy, but yes they do work and yes they will get you where you want to go, eventually. A good question to … Continue reading

As I look around the people I know there seems to be two very different ways people deal with discomfort. I’m not talking here about the discomfort you get from a too hard bed or an uncomfortable chair, although sometimes we deal with those in the same way. I am talking about the mental discomfort that can come into our lives in a thousand different ways, things like a friendship or relationship that once was … Continue reading
A recent Quote from Mark Twain which goes “Habit is Habit, and not be thrown out the window by any man, but rather coaxed down the stairs a step at a time” Got a lot of response suggesting it is a common thing. (Actually I think all struggles are common, as in we all have them but just the degree varies). Anyway I got me thinking maybe we struggle with habits because we underestimate them. … Continue reading
A recent editorial by Nathan Statz at Nett magazine struck a chord with me; he spoke about the air of confidence and self-confidence that comes from being a successful entrepreneur or small business owner. This is because each and every small business owner carries with them an air of confidence that is unmatched by even the highest paid executives from multi nationals. It is the tread of a self-made entrepreneur, but it’s a confidence that … Continue reading
When I grew up (Pre Internet) and I wanted to know something I either, went to an adult and asked them, or as I got older I went to a “knowledge resource”. That was maybe a reference book, Library, Dictionary or Atlas. It occurred to me the other day it’s been a long while since I did that, now like most others, I just “Google” but I have had some recent experiences that reminded me … Continue reading
