I’ve previously written about my morning routine, which is pretty much the same thing whether it’s a weekday or a weekend. I get in a few minutes for planning my day, some gratitudes and affirmations, a VERY short yoga routine, generally have a protein shake, and then get to my workout before breakfast. On a READ MORE

Where Do I Find My Research
Last week I wrote a post about doing your research, finding the information you need to make progress toward your goals and being prepared for the opportunities that inevitably arrive throughout life. This week I want to write about how I go about finding that research. My family and anyone else who has ever been READ MORE
Why You Should Do Your Research
In my previous post I wrote about the importance of knowing how to make progress on your goals. For the next few posts I’m going to write more more about why that’s important and how to get there. By the way, I just started The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins and she agrees with READ MORE
The Importance of Knowing the ‘How’ to Achieving a Goal
Recently some friends were talking about goals and the key to achieving them. They were really focused on the importance of will power, which is a common aspect for people to focus on.

The Tools That I Use
Throughout the posts that I have written so far, I have mentioned several tools that I use. I decided that some of you might find it useful if I provided a single list of these. I’m also going to take this list and add it as a separate page on the website for easy reference. READ MORE

I wrote a regular political opinion column for my college paper in California and later wrote political commentary for a syndicate. I love to debate. Last week I was listening to a podcast of an interview with Rabbi READ MORE
Reminders To Myself: From the daily items to the big picture
Throughout my day, I get a lot of reminders, and they’re all from me. Some are related to work, others related to my personal life, and many are about keeping myself healthy, focused, and with my big picture in sight. Most are digital, but some are paper based. These reminders enable me to stay on READ MORE
Saying No
As I’ve said, we have a nine-year-old daughter. We also have a three-year-old dog. The word “no” is not uncommon in our house. Sometimes I say it too quickly without thinking, which may require me to admit that I made a mistake and change a “no” to my daughter, to a “yes” because, well, I READ MORE
The Benefits of Keeping a Journal
Something that I try to do everyday is make an entry in my journal. I have a very nice paper journal that I use some of the time and a digital journal that I use the rest of the time. I was going to first write about the benefits of journaling, but I realized that READ MORE
