Don’t Have Time? Make It.

Time is surreal. It's a manmade concoction with which we rule our lives. Some people say time is money, time is life, life is money. Some people never have enough time to finish a project, pursue their dreams, or spend with their loved ones. I say that if you don't have enough time in your … Continue reading Don’t Have Time?

Productivity = Daytime^(-1) * Caffeine

Just in case you didn't quite follow along, productivity is inversely related to daytime hours and is compounded by caffeine. At least it is for me. I've always believed that the daytime is meant for living. You know, experiencing the world, meeting people, soaking up the sunshine. It has always seemed counterintuitive that people slaved … Continue reading Productivity = Daytime^(-1) * Caffeine →

Is Blogging A Privilege Or A Right?

I've been following the news lately about what has been going on in Egypt. It's strange -- I am usually not interested in politics; however, if it involves something with the regulation of technology and communications I am all ears. (No pun intended.) Today I learned that Egypt has the largest and most active blogosphere … Continue reading Is Blogging A Privilege Or A Right? →

The Kill Switch, #DayOfAnger, and Fragility Of It All

Net neutrality sparked conversation all throughout the blogosphere and Twittersphere this week with historic events like the State of the Union address and Egypt's Day of Anger.

The Best Way To Motivate Every Creative

It is days like today that I thank the starry sky above that I've been blessed with the brains, determination, and opportunity to pursue my passions fearlessly. Last night I slept when I wanted to.

Due Diligence and Making an Action Plan

So, we've covered 1) how to set goals, and 2) how to make goals achievable. We've also talked a little bit about being consistent. But, what good is all of that if you haven't done your homework? Due diligence is crucial! Careful planning is required for every action plan. Having a wishful to-do list does you … Continue reading Due Diligence and Making an Action Plan →

4 Steps To Making Your Goals More Achievable

In my last post, I went at great lengths to detail exactly HOW to set goals. It might seem a bit self-explanatory but I've worked with a lot of people who are just plain overwhelmed and don't know where to start. If you are one of those people, hopefully my suggestions helped! So, we've established … Continue reading 4 Steps To Making Your Goals More Achievable →

Find Success By Setting Goals

I make lists all of the time: lists of things to do, places to see, what to accomplish. But, what I haven't done in awhile is put together a strategy of how to get there. (My idea of long-term planning is making dinner reservations at the end of the week.) Most of what I've done … Continue reading Find Success By Setting Goals →

The Importance of Consistency

One of the things I struggle with is consistency. I'm a worker bee and I try to be a great friend, but I'm not exactly the most consistent. I guess you could say that consistency is my Achilles' heel. I realize that it's a weakness but when I feel myself slipping, I strive for it. In … Continue reading The Importance of Consistency →

Wanderlust Isn’t For The Faint Hearted

I graduated college with some big plans for myself. I wanted to travel the world immediately after my undergraduate degree was conferred. It would've been sometime in September 2007, when I was on the last leg of my global internship in Thailand. It was amidst a recession and someway, somehow, my phone rang when I … Continue reading Wanderlust Isn’t For The Faint Hearted →
