ARTArticleWork-Life Integration: Do Long Hours Equal Productivity?It seems to me that many people are short on time and long on things to do. This certainly was an issue of mine also at one time. What I learned during those years was that time wasn’t the issue as much as was energy and focus. Lack of clarity and reflection time often drain the brain.

You may certainly have plenty of activity, but these are not the same thing; long hours often don’t equal productivity.ARTArticleYearn, Learn And Earn More Money Through the Art of Pretending"There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning and yearning." - Christopher Morley (1890-1957 - American jou

“Things do not change; we change.“~ Henry David Thoreau ~
As you start to focus on what you desire – your behaviors will begin to change. And as you begin to reach your goals and receive your desires – you will change.
