Twitter Time Mgmt Tips

Here are some time management Twitter tips that have worked for me. Remember Twitter is about communication. Interact with others. Develop a routine and repeat 2-3 times per day. I try to log early am, midday and late evening. Use Tweetdeck or some other app to help manage your tweets. Tweet your own links and…

Test Taking

The first time I ever had to study and prepare to take a test was in the third grade when we had to memorize the multiplication tables. I remember the anticipation, the excitement and the anxiety; the butterflies in my stomach. I had a newly sharpened #2 pencil and I was ready. I remember the…

Ideas in action…

Not much to say today. Going to put some ideas into action. Idea: A beautiful garden, bursting with color. Action: I am going to work in the yard today, build my raised beds, fill them with organic soil and plant seeds and seedlings that will soon become a rainbow of flowers, fruits and vegetables. Idea:…

More ideas from Denver…

Here are a few of my (mostly) unedited notes and ideas from Denver. (not all of the questions have answers yet): People want to be heard-they want to tell you what is in their heart, what they’ve learned; they need someone to listen. Workshop [of my own?]…give each person an opportunity to talk, 10 minutes,…

And, another idea…

I have heard many people say that sharing your ideas or plans too early will dissipate their energy. Other people counter with the opinion that sharing your ideas and goals will help them expand. Then, of course, you have people proclaim that if you share your ideas, someone will steal them. Well, I am not…

Another idea…

Since returning from Denver my head is spinning with ideas. Many I have had before, but this time they are stronger and clearer. This week I am going to post a few of them. Let me know what you think. Another idea, fun and exciting… I want to design my own holiday wrapping paper and…

Letting go…

Yesterday, I overheard a conversation at work. A project that would have normally been given to me was given to someone else, someone younger, someone hungrier. My first reaction was habitual and I became angry. But, the anger left as quickly as it had flared up. “Why?” I asked myself, “What was going on?” I…

A Roller Coaster Ride

The last week of December 2008 I decided to go after my dreams. I didn’t have an epiphany or an ‘aha’ moment. Instead it was more like just settling down, getting quiet and listening to what I needed and in the stillness I heard my heart speak. Two dreams drifted to the surface, the first…

Decisions are like dominoes sometimes…

I have been sitting on the fence for months, undecided whether to attend the Barbara Winter and The Dodge House, made my flight reservations and reserved a car reservations and submitted my workshop registration. But, the story doesn’t end there. When I had difficulty making my reservations online for The Dodge House I called the…

Disconnecting doesn't mean doing nothing

Yesterday, Sunday, I took a break and disconnected. Other than turning on my laptop for five-minutes to print something my husband absulutely needed yesterday, I did just what I said I would. No computer, no email, no Twitter. It was easier than I thought it would be. Mainly because disconnecting doesn’t mean doing nothing. I…
