As I often talk about planning, I am looking at each hour of the day to see what I can accomplish. The goal: Trying to segment my time into reasonable increments to help achieve what I'm trying to achieve for the day. Of course, not every hour is full. We need to schedule our breaks…
If there was one central "theme word" of my life that I had to choose, it would be "Presence". I feel as if it is a recurring theme in a lot of my writing and speaking, too. I am constantly making a concerted effort to live in the moment - to take in and experience…
We have our plan put together... We are ready to take action... We start taking steps towards our goal... And then something gets in the way. Life throws a challenge at us and we don't know what to do. Eventually, we realize we have to go through it and not around it. That can slow…
When I am in the midst of a challenge, I try to use whatever time I have available to think about my next step(s). Sometimes that's a few seconds, sometimes that's a few days. No matter how much time I have, my process seems to work the same each time. Observe - analyze - plan…

It's amazing how 24 hours ago I was flying through 1,000,000 thoughts and this morning I'm bopping to some music and loving life. I'd say my mood changed 5 times yesterday. My mind is just a constant switch, that sometimes I don't have control of. But, at the same time, I feel like I do…
As it is easy for myself to look ahead at what's to come, I can't help but be eager to start things that I know are coming in my near future. I know what I'm going to do when the time comes, so I am ready to get after it! Unfortunately, that's not how…
