Will You Add? - Professional Development: Befriending Time
A good night’s sleep is probably one of the most under-rated means of leading a healthy and stress free existence. If you are finding it difficult to sleep, the simplest of all solutions are always the best. The adjustments that you need to make are more towards what you do before you go to sleep rather than what you do once you get into bed. Here are some useful tips to obtain a better night’s sleep:Routine: Build a routine, such as a quick shower or a hot water bath, reading a book, or watching a relaxing film, before you get into bed. This puts your body into a relaxed mode and makes it easier to slip into a good night’s rest.Gentle Exercise: Try not to do strenuous exercise prior to going to s
Making peace with time means doing what you believe and believing in what you do— whether you are relaxing at the beach or working late to get a project done.
Do you ever feel like you’re on message overload? So many commercials, ads and pop-ups you can’t tell who’s selling what anymore. Well, you’re not alone and you’re not overreacting.Today we are exposed to somewhere between 3,500 and 5,000 marketing messages a day. To put that in perspective, in the 1970’s---that far less aggressive and commercial era---consumers had a paltry 500 to 2,000 marketing messages sent their way daily. While as a customer you may wax nostalgic about the good old days, as a businessperson you are responsible for sending out some of those messages.Step 1: So how can you be sure your marketing gets noticed? Chances are that yours is not a totally unique business. Bu
From this perceived lack of time, we constantly worry that we should be moving along to some other task or project than what we are currently doing. We know that time passes by so quickly, and with it, all our good intentions to get purposeful things done. Day after day we experience the same frustration.
If the root of this issue is a belief system, perhaps a different perspective would serve us better: What if time were on your side?
As a thought experiment, take a moment right now to imagine what it would be like if you had all the time you needed, all the time in the world. How would your life be different? What would your morning be like? What would you do in the afternoon and evening? How would you handle your relationships with family, friends and co-workers?
It took me just a brief moment to conjure up the image of leisurely starting my day, lingering in the shower, taking time for a morning walk. Breakfast allowed time for a nourishing meal and chatter with my kids. I wrote letters to neglected relatives and had lunch with a friend. I pictured handling all the clutter in my office, taking care of errands and then relaxing in the mid-day sun when I felt like it. With unlimited time, I could take a week off work each month to write, take some painting classes, and read good books. The image was very inviting.
Yet, as I imagined having enough time for it all, I heard a nagging inner voice whine, “But I’d never get anything DONE.” Isn’t that fascinating? With the gift of all the time in the world, a part of me insists I wouldn’t get enough done! This achievement-oriented part of me doesn’t place much value on enjoying my time.
Perhaps the rift is not between me and time, but between the different lenses through which I see the world. Can I value the part of me that wants to slow life down, relax, watch my children’s every move as well as the part of me that wants to have big accomplishments and change the world? Of course I must, because in fact, they are not in conflict, they support one another. Creating room to breathe actually enhances my productivity.

Instead of a simple answer, you are overwhelmed by all the information out there and everyone claiming to be a guru and each one selling you stuff that probably is not all that great. By the way, not that there's anything wrong with it, but if they are as successful as they claim to be, why are they selling their "widely popular advice" at $147 a piece?So how exactly do you make money online? Well, one of the most safe and easier ways to make money online is to use the Google Adsense program. What is adsense? Okay let me get back to the basics.

For the eye of the unsuspecting public, asbestos is a miracle material that protects their houses and other materials from easily contracting fire. But, behind these advantages to homeowners, the industrial workers suffer from health hazards that are oftentimes fatal.Asbestos was primarily used to fireproof houses; it was also popular as a roofing. However, during the recent years, many diseases have been related to it and it is apparent that many more will be discovered that can be directly rooted to asbestos.But asbestos, as is, does not really cause the diseases. Instead, the culprit is known to be the asbestos fiber that comes from the damaged asbestos materials. These accumulate through contient lenses through which I see the world.

Here are the steps I am taking to befriend time in ways that support both my personal and professional aims:
* Value Your Time. Are you spending your time doing what you believe has the greatest value? Assess the time spent relative to the return and adjust accordingly. Steve Jobs addressed the Stanford graduating class of 2005 and planted this thought: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" If the answer is "No" for too many days in a row, it is time to change something.
* Sequence Your Tasks. Order your tasks in a manner that allows you to cleanly take care of one thing at a time. Anna, one of our IWS Project Managers, is adept at creating boundaries so she can fully devote herself to the task at hand. She accomplishes this by sequencing types of tasks rather than trying to tackle too much at once. She puts one high priority internal project on her list to complete between client work. Only when the one project is complete does she move on to the next.
* Be in the Moment. Even in the chaos of the workplace, it is possible slow the pace and rest for a bit. Stop for a moment and breathe slowly, look out the window, or at a photo, bringing your full focus into to noticing how you feel, how you are sitting, where you are in your space. Calm your mind and connect with your timeless inner resources. The Power of Now is an ancient concept that has been rekindled recently in the writings of Eckart Tolle: “To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer…”
* Just Let Go. Letting go is counter-intuitive for most of us, but it has two rewards: it allows others to step up to the challenge, and it preserves our energies for higher priority items. My Grandmother, a compulsive worrier for most of her life, began to say to me when she turned 92, “I just can’t worry about that anymore.” And she stopped. I understand now what it means to run out of bandwidth and have to preserve what attention you have for the thoughts and actions that are most meaningful.
* Recognize and Utilize Discretionary Time. Most professi
