    My Conquer List

    This is a list of all the bigger goals that I want to accomplish in life. Some are bigger than others, but they all push me to be a better me. If you are ever feeling a little lifeless or lost, I recommend that you try this exercise. It’s meant to remind you that you do want so much more and that no matter how you feel now, you still have things you want to accomplish. Yes, this list is long and it will change over time, but it started out with a few ideas and inspirations. Check out Jason Ruyon’s Impossible List and Jeff Sander’s Recent Bold Action List.…

    My first rapid pick up

    I was cleaning out some paperwork (as usual) and I came across a folded piece of paper. It was a print out of a rapid pick up order at a local Panera. May 2015…. Then I remembered. This was the first time that I placed a “rapid pick up order”, so I printed out my pick up confirmation just in case anyone questioned me or needed to see some kind of proof of purchase. You there, with the Bambi look… your lunch is here. Can I see your confirmation? Hello, can we see your confirmation before we release your meal to you? Sure thing ma’am, may I see your confirmation?…

    How to commit to reading a book 30 mins everyday

    How many times have you promised yourself during the first week of any given month, “OK, this month I will start and finish a book?” *Raises hand* Guilty. I would borrow the book from the library and let it collect dust. Or I would buy the book, dive into it that Saturday, only to leave the book somewhere on my bed and then find it 6 months later under the bed. It wasn’t until I got around a great group of folks that were also actively reading that my discipline grew. Not only did I grow more in knowledge but it helped me start a good habit and encouraged me…

    7 Ways to Use Sticky Notes Productively at Work

    As I was wrapping up the first quarter at my work, I couldn’t help but notice how overwhelmed I was feeling the last few days. Well, once I looked down between my monitor and keyboard it was clear why. A puddle of colorful sticky notes, going in different directions had developed. Constant interruptions, little tasks here and there I thought I could do “quickly later” had piled up. Luckily, after taking a step back, not only did I implement new simple techniques, but was able to improve only ones already in place.
