Иногда прокрастинация просто неизбежна. Мы любыми способами находим возможность отложить работу еще на несколько минут. Журналисты портала  Lifehack  нашли 10 вариантов, как даже это время не потратить впустую. 1. Напишите личное письмо Вспомните человека, отношения с которым вы цените, но с которым, например, давно не общались и напишите ему мейл. Это поможет поддержать общение и близкие отношения. 2. Заведите коллекцию полезных линков на случай прокрастинации Заведите себе коллекцию линков о тех вещах, которыми вы интересуетесь. В следующий раз, когда ваш мозг «потребует» на несколько минут увильнуть от ваших заданий, эти ссылки помогут вам узнать что-то новое и полезное. 3. Выберите тему, в которой вы «просто не разбираетесь» и начните ее изучать 4. Напишите о работе, которую вы избегаете Откройте Word или возьмите ручку и лист бумаги и запишите, какое задание вы избегаете. Если вы избегаете задание, потому что «застряли» на нем, возможно, так вы найдете новые способы его р...

If you’re anything like I am, you have a number of high-priority projects on your desk or in your life. I’m managing initiatives related to my company, current books, future books, blog, new products, and a handful of other key items. Amidst of all these, I’m getting married next month (yay!). With many important initiatives in motion, you know how easy it is to get off track. Toss in daily family life and it’s a miracle anything gets done. Colleagues and friends often wonder how I take on so much and get it done so quickly.  My secret? 1. Three is the magic number You can handle a number of high-priority projects simultaneously, but on any given day make sure you target three key goals  or accomplishments. I have a mile-long to-do list every single day, but I have three main objectives that must be completed on  that  particular day. Focus on the biggies. Anything else you check off that day is gravy. Incremental daily change and advancement will resul...

If someone had handed me these life lessons for young adults, I would have lived my life differently. Of course, I say that with a giggle because we all know blogging didn’t exist in 1988. Seriously, I don’t truly think that because I believe the universe is perfect the way it is. “What is” is what’s supposed to be, otherwise it wouldn’t be. But, for amusement, I often reflect on the lessons I’ve learned. If I was smart enough to learn them sooner, I would have. I’m sure you would have too. Here’s what I would have told myself: Try It . You won’t know if you like it until you do. It’s technically the only way you can discover your passion. You’re never born with passion. It’s something you discover by falling in love with something you experience. Start Now . The best time to plant an oak tree was fifty years ago. The next best time is today. You and your retirement account will thank me. Eliminate  First . This is something 99% of the world doesn’t understand. Ev...

They say "you either got it, or you don't." But when it comes to charisma, you don't have to have it — you can learn it.  According to Olivia Fox Cabane's book " The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism ," people aren't born with charisma. They acquire it through knowledge and practice. Charismatic leaders are more influential, persuasive, and inspiring. People are magnetically drawn to them and more willing to perform above and beyond the call of duty to support them. So how can you become more charismatic? We've compiled the most useful tips and tricks from the book below. Loosen up; you don't have to be the most attractive person in the room. Wikimedia Commons Yes, we all agree that being attractive certainly has its advantages, but it's definitely not a requirement.  Winston Churchill wasn't a sex symbol, but he's still considered one of the most influential leaders in history. Make pe...

By  Angela Cusack Sure, you’re doing well — but could you do better? Absolutely you could. We all can. There’s always a new summit to climb, a goal to set our sights on, a new adventure just ahead. We all want to be prepared for that next great opportunity, but what do we do and how do we get ready? What  does it take  for me, my team, my company to take our game to the next level? To many, the “what” and “how” of success remains a mystery and thus we continue to do more, work harder, and continue our relentless search for the silver bullet. While this is a common strategy, it’s often useless. We only find ourselves exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated. We wonder “why” we can’t figure it out given we are intelligent human beings. As I tell my C-Suite leaders and their executive teams that I’ve worked with, it doesn’t have to be a difficult experience to learn the what and how in Igniting  your  Success  if you know the recurring practices...

I waited to deliver this post until we were in a season when people could benefit most. This is a time of year when people attend holiday parties and other functions and meet many new people. I thought it would be ideal to provide your 8-step guide to make the ultimate first impression. I promised myself I’d skip all the obvious tips such as being on time, proper grooming, speaking clearly and so forth. If you’re taking the time to read this, I owe you  my  experience. That experience comes from nearly three decades of consulting. I’ve spent the last decade speaking with or meeting an average of 3,500-4,000 new people every year! We’re talkin’ actual human interaction—the kind that existed before the invention of email, the Internet, and social media. You simply can’t use the delete key or de-friend button if you want to stop the pain. Do you remember when the only time you could halt rude people was to cry  Mommy, make it stop  or risk offending them directly to the...
