Busy or Productive?
1 Thought: Before getting to the topic at hand I’d like to thank everyone for the amazing support with this new blog. This post is #20 which, I learned puts www.afew-things.com in the top 1%, based on sticking with it. Appreciate the likes, the comments and especially those of you that have chosen to take…

Tackling a Problem!
1 Thought: The value of a good approach to solving a problem or challenge should not be overlooked. Problems are just that, problems, if you don’t slow down to understand their genesis, the impact it’s having currently, as well as its potential to grow. “A well defined problem is a problem half solved.” Adage attributed…

So Much to Do; Too Much Time to Do It.
1 Thought: Ever crammed for a test when you were a youth? Ever surprise yourself and end up with a better than expected grade when you did? Fairly certain the answer is yes; not always I’m sure but more often than expected. The Parkinson’s Law is something I find fascinating, not simply on the surface,…

Nothin’ But NET!
1 Thought: In the spirit of March Madness I was subliminally prompted to blog about something regarding a net I guess. The mind is a highly suggestible place. Net I feel is most simply defined by what is left after the work has been done. In basketball the practice has been put in, we’ve broken…

Know What You Are Aiming At!
1 Thought: We all have goals, both short term and long term. An often told analogy is the story that the pilot and the flight you’re on lets say from Atlanta to Chicago is off course about 90% of the flight but somehow always lands right where its intended. I think the above analogy represents…

Tomorrow: The Busiest Day of the Week!
1 Thought: Nobody isn’t guilty of putting things off; nobody. It’s human nature to seek joy and happiness and all that stuff. Don’t beat yourself up for being just another victim of procrastination, procrastination is an illness. Good news! There is a cure. Short lists might just be the cure. Every day should start with…

After the Game the King and the Pawn Go in the Same Box
1 Thought: The inequality at the work place is out of control. This isn’t a race or gender blog but more so a focus on the “who you know” versus the “talent”. I always seek to first understand before placing judgement but have seen this over and over in my years in corporate America. So…

State. Story. Strategy.
1 Thought: Let me start by stating that the concept I am planning to share is not original to me at all and possibly one you are already familiar. I have heard it shared by Tony Robbins and others, and most recently on Modern Wisdom. I am simply sharing how this practice can be applied…
