Really, why do I bother trying to work without coffee? It's only after I've been sluggishly pulling myself through make-believe-working, when I look up from my web surfing and look at the clock, that I realize I've wasted precious hours by not being focused and productive. I put on a pot of dark, thick coffee, [...]
I get a lot of good ideas. LOTS OF THEM. There is a term for my type of adeptitiude: SCANNERS. People who are not masters of anything, but are pretty good at almost EVERYTHING. That’s me. My father-in-law pointed it out to me the other day. “You changed your brakes,” he said. “I don’t change [...]

I'm enjoying this new lesson on success. I usually spend my time striving. Working for something greater. And I'm usually falling short, so I push myself harder. I focus and discipline myself even more. And it wasn't working. Last week, even though I only had a few bucks, I decided to stop putting off the [...]
I am a lot of different people all at once. At my core, I am a performer. This allows me to take on the different facets of my personality, many of which I have to keep from overshadowing the others. Some people know me as the nice insurance salesman. Others see me sprint by as [...]
Its a new year, and although I am giving myself a weeks leeway until I make resolutions (the advantage of having a birthday on January 7, coupled with an intense december, means I need a week off for vacation) I am considering implementing a huge new lifestyle change: polyphasic sleep.
