How timely my post yesterday on Emotional Mastery? There was an article in the NY Times Magazine yesterday about how the field of 'positive psychology' is becoming a big thing on real college campuses and is now being studied for validity by psychologists.It's a great story on the 'power of positive thinking,' a philosophy which has been around for decades and maybe even centuries, although Norman Vincent Peale started that phrase, I guess. Anyway, here's the link to the article for anyone interested:NY Times Magazine - "Happiness 101" HAPPY READING! ENJOY! … (6 comments)

- 12/19/06 05:08 AM
Been away from AR for awhile as I was preparing for this past weekend. Wow, what a weekend. If I had a comfort zone going into it. It got blown up the past three days.I just spent the weekend in Atlanta, Georgia working on my presentation skills with a real pro.What a comfort zone busting experience that was. For two days I stood in front of a video camera in my coach's living room and had everything from my posture to my program content turned upside down, inside out and backwards.It wasn't a place for the faint of heart, or an ego.But, … (11 comments)

At the encouragement of Jessica Hughes, Craig Schiller and Ginger Sala, I'm writing this blog regarding perfectionism and procrastination. Craig posted a question on his blog asking how much time people spend in ARand if they can quantify an ROI on that investment in time and it got me thinking.One thing everyone, including myself, must guard against is that this type of site can become a very addictive place and can become a form of procrastination that keeps us from doing real business activity.We can get lulled into thinking we're doing stuff to improve ourselves and our business, when in reality we … (15 comments)

In order to apply these two tips you also need to understand that to really master your time management challenge, you have to change your entire belief about the topic.
