How To Gain Control of Your Free Time
People think two things when they hear that I write about time management. One is that I'm always on time, but I'm not. I'm sometimes late, and I'd like to say it's because I have four little kids, but sometimes it's not their fault. I was once late for my own speech about how to handle my time. That was so funny that we all had to stop and enjoy it for a moment. The second thing they think is that I know a lot of ways to save time. I get calls from magazines that want to do a story like this, usually about how to help their readers find an extra hour in the day. We will cut small amounts of time from our daily tasks and add them up. That way, we'll have time for the fun things. Even though I don't agree with this piece's main idea, I'm always interested in hearing what they've come up with before they call me. Running errands where you only have to make right turns is one of my favorites. Being extremely careful in microwave usage: it says three to three-and-a-half minutes on the package, we're totally getting in on the bottom side of that. And my personal favorite, which makes sense on some level, is to DVR your favorite shows so you can fast-forward through the commercials. That way, you save eight minutes every half hour, so in the course of two hours of watching TV, you find 32 minutes to exercise. Which is true. You know another way to find 32 minutes to exercise? Don't watch two hours of TV a day, right? Anyway, the idea is we'll save bits of time here and there, add it up, we will finally get to everything we want to do. But after studying how successful people spend their time and looking at their plans hour by hour, I think this idea has it completely wrong.

Faded Glory is not just a clothing brand
I just finished reading an article here on Vocal (https://vocal.media/journal/the-thing-that-makes-me-most-sad-in-my-work) and it was like listening to a passionate monologue from a peer. Every word I took in, and agreed that the writer made excellent points, yet was certain that I had answers to his questions - mainly why or how does an expert fade out in a once blooming career? I know exactly why and how because I am or at least have been the so-called "expert" that writer is talking about.

How To Claim Your Leadership Power
Is there anyone else here a parent who has ever struggled to get their kids out the door on time? So, you know, right? It's like herding kittens. My husband and I would start nagging our three daughters long before it was time to leave, but that evidently wasn't working because we were always late for everything.

Becoming 1% Better Every Day
"Small Wins, Big Impact: The Power of Incremental Improvement" "Imagine waking up every morning with a sense of purpose and drive, knowing that today you will be 1% better than yesterday. It may seem like a small goal, but the impact is profound. Becoming 1% better every day may not be a dramatic transformation, but it's a sustainable and powerful way to achieve lasting success." "The Aggregation of Marginal Gains" "This concept, popularized by James Clear, is based on the idea that small, incremental improvements can lead to significant gains over time. By focusing on making small improvements each day, you can create a snowball effect that propels you towards your goals." "Start Small, Think Big" "Don't try to make drastic changes overnight. Instead, focus on making tiny improvements that you can sustain in the long term. Whether it's: - Reading for 10 extra minutes (1% more knowledge) - Doing one more push-up (1% stronger) - Practicing a new skill for 5 minutes (1% more proficient) - Writing 50 more words (1% more creative) - Taking a 5-minute walk (1% healthier) - Learning one new word (1% more intelligent) - Saving $1 more (1% wealthier) - Spending 1% more quality time with loved ones The key is to make progress, not perfection." "Compound Effect" "The 1% better approach may not seem like much, but the compound effect is powerful: - After 1 month, you'll be 30% better - After 3 months, you'll be 90% better - After 6 months, you'll be 180% better - After 1 year, you'll be 365% better - After 2 years, you'll be 730% better - After 5 years, you'll be 1,825% better The results may not be immediate, but the progress will be undeniable." "Consistency is Key" "The 1% better approach is not about being perfect; it's about being consistent. Show up every day, make small improvements, and trust the process. Before you know it, you'll be on your way to achieving your goals and becoming a better version of yourself." "Make it a Habit" "Create a habit of continuous improvement. Set reminders, track your progress, and celebrate your small wins. Make 1% better a part of your daily routine, and watch your life transform in amazing ways." "Small Wins, Big Impact: The Power of Incremental Improvement" "Imagine waking up every morning with a sense of purpose and drive, knowing that today you will be 1% better than yesterday.
