Prime Time
Everybody has about three hours during the day when they are at their best. Figure out what your “Prime Time” is and then plan your day around it. Make sure that you dedicate that time to focus without interruptions on the activities that are of most value to you.

Interruptions – Come Back Later
When somebody interrupts you when you are busy, don’t let them interrupt your train of thought. Ask them to come back and see you at a specific time – you may be surprised that they actually figure out the answer and don’t come back to ask you.

Music Review: Broken Bells – Meyrin Fields EP
I love The Shins. Their releases are catchy and simply make me feel good. So when I heard that James Mercer, who is the lead vocalist and guitarist for The Shins, was in a new band called Broken Bells, I got excited. Artist-producer, Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) is Mercer’s other half. The duo makes up the Broken Bells.

App Review: OPI
My daughter recently told me about an app that she thought I would enjoy having, called OPI, which is actually a brand name of nail polish.
OPI and Essie are the two brands that you see most at nail salons across the country. I always prefer the OPI brand because I think it lasts longer than the Essie brand.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Social Media
I give a lot of seminars and speaking engagements around the country. Every time I speak, someone inevitably asks the question, “Can’t I just use an intern or lower level person to tweet for me?”
You can do what you want, but if you want your social media efforts to be effective and part of your on-going marketing efforts, then you need to have someone who is sensitive to your brand in charge of these efforts. This person needs to fully comprehend your product or service and know the right language, tone, etc., to place your brand the best possible light.

E Mail: Check on your Schedule
E-mails have overtaken the phone now as the most dangerously effective of all Time Bandits. Turn off your e mail alert and check your e-mail only four times a day…. do it on your schedule not the schedule of the people who are interrupting your more productive work.

Chi Running?
Believe it or not, my shins still hurt. I started reading the book, Chi Running – A Revolutionary Approach to Effortless Injury-Free Running by Danny Dreyer and Katherine Dreyer, and was intrigued. He said that using the Chi Running technique could alleviate shin splints and other common running injuries.
One of the things that Danny Dreyer does, is he teaches the reader to be aware of their body. He also suggests watching children run. Why is it that children run so effortlessly and we adults have so much trouble running? Danny Dreyer says that as we age, we have more stress and tension in our lives, which we take out on our bodies.
