Recipe Wednesday
Being creative with meals is a definite challenge. It is easy to get in ruts with a normal diet and especially when you are limited in what you can eat. I keep trying new recipes to find ones I like and keep.
Last week I said I would tell you more about the brownies once I tweaked them. This time they came out pretty yummy and people approved.
No sugar Brownie by the NHCR with my adaptions
2/3c butter
3 eggs
1c almond flour or choice of flour
1/2c chopped walnuts or pecans
½ to 1t stevia -I used NuNaturals vanillia
1/2t sea salt
1/2t baking soda
¼-1/3c cocoa –add more if you want darker taste
3/4c dry curd cottage cheese
Blend all ingredients, except flour and chopped nuts, in a food processor until smooth. (very important for the right texture of brownie, it seemed better to process the dry curd cottage cheese first then add eggs then add stevia then add salt and cocoa). Stir dry ingredients together then mix with wet. Add nuts and pour into oiled 8×8 pan. Bake at 350 for 35 min or until done. My variation was to add some graded or broken pieces of unsweetened chocolate to the mix as well.
I had a craving for potato salad, which is one of my favorites, and potatoes are not allowed on the diet so I created a salad with butternut squash also approved a friend. I found a couple of possible recipes that interested me and one was Roasted butternut squash and chickpea salad. Since I just made hummus decided to what on that one. I made a variation of Tropical butternut squash salad because I cannot have the pineapple right now since there is too much sugar in that fruit.
Tropical butternut squash salad by Cara's Cravings with my adaptions
3lbs peeled, diced butternut squash
1 large red pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup sliced scallions (white and light green parts)
1/2 cup shredded, unsweetened flaked coconut
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper, to taste
Drew's lemon goddess dressing
I boiled the squash for a quick method then tossed with the lemon goddess dressing, added the other ingredients stirring in between. It sat in the fridge until I was ready to eat it. Very yummy!
Comment below and let me know what you think about these foods.

It's spring, and love is in the air, but it's still full-on war in the smartphone industry.
On the Google GOOG, +0.87% Android side, the two big phones of the moment, Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8, have a big task ahead of them: help their makers thrive, or at least maintain course, in an increasingly strained smartphone market. But of course, what everyone wants to know is: Where does the Apple AAPL, +0.17% iPhone 6 fit in here?
Last quarter, Apple shipped 51 million iPhone units, disappointing Wall Street, which expected 55 million. The problem was simple: Apple made too many of the less expensive iPhone 5C units and not enough of the fancy 5S. Whether Apple would have beaten expectations had it gone all-in on the 5S is unknown.
That lack of clarity, combined with the smartphone market's natural slowdown after years of enormous growth, makes iPhone 6 a product Apple has to get right.
Dazzling 'blood moon' eclipse across North America
The moon passed through the amber shadow of the Earth, producing a midnight lunar eclipse, which was visible across North America.
So here are the six things that can make iPhone 6 not only a great product for consumers, but for Apple investors as well.
1. One big, one small
On Minyanville's Buzz & Banter, I've been closely tracking investor expectations for iPhone 6. The one universal expectation is the addition of a large-screen iPhone with a display size of about 5.5 inches.
There are rumors of a 4.7-inch screen for the iPhone 5S replacement, which would make it slightly smaller than the Samsung and HTC flagships. My hope is that Apple sticks with a 4-inch screen size.
The bigger model should keep Wall Street happy, but for many people, a 4-inch screen is a great compromise between usability and pocketability.
2. No more megapixels!
The iPhone 5S camera, like the 5 and 4S, has eight megapixels.
And eight is enough. The Galaxy S5's camera has 16 megapixels and the Sony Xperia Z2 has an insane 20.7, but for most people's use, all that's going to do is take up storage space.
An uncropped eight-megapixel iPhone photo has a resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels.
That can more than fill the screen of Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display, which has a native resolution of 2880 x 1800, and it's certainly sufficient for social applications like Facebook FB, -0.15% Twitter TWTR, +1.08% and Instagram.
Besides, anyone who's truly concerned about camera resolution probably already owns a serious camera.
And kudos to HTC!
The One M8 has just five megapixels, though HTC calls them "ultrapixels." Reviewers are applauding the One M8's low-light performance — something that can actually be hampered by a high-megapixel count.
So Apple, don't give us more pixels. Just give us better ones!

Mary Weaver is on weight loss journey with HMR, a clinically monitored weight management program through Sarah Bush Lincoln, and is sharing her experience with our community. She resides in Neoga with her husband, Ray.
Day 5
Hard to believe it's been almost a week and I haven't felt hungry, but ice cream still calls my name.
We were busy at work this morning, so it was after 10 before I was able to call the bank to find out about my declined ATM card. I suppose it was good news, bad news. The good news is someone in Florida was enjoying eating out on me. The bad news is they came close to cleaning out my bank account...or is that good news as they didn't get everything. At one place they bought $54.54 in turkey wings...go figure.
The bank said since the card was used as a debit card I had to call all the merchants and ask for the money back. If the merchant would not do so, then I had to go to the bank for fill out papers asking for the money back. So I called, but because it was over 24 hours no one except "the corporate" office could authorize the refund. Now the bad luck returns...two of the "corporate" phone numbers that had I were recordings with messages that the numbers were to be used for comments about "my service experience" and to leave a message. 10 hours later, I have not heard from them.
I said I did Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. Well, I didn't listen very well. He said never use ATM debit card as a debit card; use it as a credit card. The bank said someone must have seen me enter my pin number and that is why I was robbed electronically. Also there is faster service when used as a credit card.
So I am credit girl from now on. So back to the weight management program. I feel great. I got in an hour walk after work and met my targets. To my cousin Mark, I can make YOU a snow cone, but bring your own syrup I have no money.
I still can't get over some one buying turkey wings.
Sincerely yours from In The Box.

- How to Read a Study Record
This randomized, controlled, diagnostic, multicenter trial will compare two diagnostic imaging pathways--coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and single photon emission tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI)--to determine the incidence of major adverse coronary events (MACE), defined as myocardial infarction (MI) or cardiac-related death, and cross-over to revascularization. CCTA may be used to direct patients with symptoms of stable angina or angina equivalent to optimal medical therapy (OMT). The use of CCTA as a diagnostic tool for angina symptoms will be associated with no increase in MACE or revascularization, decreased cost, reduced risks (e.g., less radiation exposure), additional insights into alternate explanations of chest pain, and increased cost-effectiveness in comparison with use of SPECT MPI/invasive coronary angiography (ICA).

Detailed Description:
The Randomized Evaluation of Patients with Stable Angina Comparing Utilization of Diagnostic Examinations (RESCUE) is a multi-center randomized, controlled trial responding to the need for comparative analysis of these imaging technologies and the role of OMT in clinical care. A total of 4300 patients will be randomized to CCTA or SPECT MPI/ICA for diagnostic assessment of angina at up to 80 institutions internationally. This study builds on the results of the COURAGE trial by comparing CCTA and SPECT MPI/ICA integrated into a care paradigm featuring initial treatment with OMT for patients diagnosed with CAD without significant disease in the left main coronary artery. Participants will be followed for a composite endpoint of MACE and cross-over to revascularization over a follow-up period up to two years (two to six time points depending on diagnostic results and time of enrollment into the trial). The primary endpoint of the study is a combined endpoint of occurrence of MACE and revascularization. We will calculate differences in the combined MACE/revascularization endpoint between the CCTA and SPECT MPI/ICA arms. Participant outcomes will be assessed by age, gender, comorbidity, and angina classification class at presentation. Several comparative-effectiveness analyses will be performed. We hypothesize that the CCTA arm will be associated with no increase in MACE or revascularization, decreased cost, reduced risks (e.g., less radiation exposure), additional insights into or alternate explanations of chest pain, and increased cost-effectiveness in comparison with SPECT MPI/ICA. Findings are expected to result in validation of an evolving new standard of care for patients with stable angina that takes advantage of CCTA and OMT to more cost-effectively drive appropriate care while reducing the need for invasive diagnosis and increased radiation exposure with SPECT MPI/ICA.

Artist Spotlight: Alek & Steph
Alek & Steph (Stephane Marquet and Aleksandar Tomovic) have brought their European artistry to American efficiency. They make the perfect team, creating the magic as they take images simultaneously with two different cameras and work together on the postproduction. Their photography has been published all over the world, reaching millions. Steph is originally from the sunny south of France (which is a bit like Palm Springs with water and an accent), but then he moved to Paris, took that "Parisian attitude" everyone talks about, and transformed it into something all his own. Alek is originally from Serbia (which is a bit like the San Fernando Valley with an even thicker accent), but then he moved to Paris, met Steph, fell in love, and became a French citizen.
Whether you are talking about Alek & Steph's blogs, their online magazines, their photography, or even their lives, you are talking about inspiration.
Such stimulation comes from extensive world travels and the vast experiences they have absorbed from countless cultures and from meeting some pretty darn amazing people. Just take a look at their photography and you can sense the inspiration ... and the timelessness.

Rutgers' Mike Rice On The Move To The Big Ten
By Matt Sugam
PISCATAWAY – Earlier today, Rutgers officially became the 14th member of the Big Ten. SNY.tv sat down with Rutgers basketball head coach Mike Rice to talk about the move and what it means for his program going forward.
Q: What are your overall thoughts on the move to the Big Ten and how it affects your basketball program?
A: My overall thoughts are that I'm very excited for the University. As I walked around the university today – even the last two days, people are generally excited. And not just athletic personal. Just general excitement. People that work at the university, to be associated with the Big Ten, I'm very excited for those people. You're leaving one great conference for another great conference. And my focus is on getting better everyday. And when you're a program that's still rebuilding, that's what you have to focus on.
Q: With the state of the Big East and how it's always been a basketball conference, but people would say it's losing it's identity with West Virginia gone and Syracuse, Pitt and Notre Dame leaving, are you more ok with the move than you would have been a few years ago as a basketball coach?
A: I'm ok with anything our University wants to do. Of course I grew up a Big East fan. Watching John Thompson battle Jim Boeheim and Lou Carnesecca – the traditional Big East basketball teams. Like you said, it's different. Especially with some of the additions in Texas and Florida, it's just a different league. I love being a part of the Big East. I love being a part of the tradition, but for the strength and stability of this athletic department, this university and this basketball program, we needed to move on and I'm excited about the Big Ten as well.
Q: How does going to the Big Ten affect recruiting?
A: It depends on what happens with the Big East and that brand, but I liked what Jim Delany said about bringing the Big Ten to New Jersey. Selling the brand of the Big Ten and getting the Big Ten Network in all the homes in New York and New Jersey. I think that's going to make an effective tool for selling my program. Selling our new conference. We're going to still play Seton Hall. We're going to still have these local rivalries that we've always had and try to play our traditional rivals, but now we're going to be different and playing in different locations, it'll be different, but everyone I think once people find out how strong the conference is, it'll be a positive.
Q: How much does this – from a monetary standpoint – expedite the process of the RAC renovations?
A: A lot of people think that because it's Big Ten money. But it's the boosters, the alumni, the corporations who are excited about Rutgers being a Big Ten basketball program. They're excited about becoming partners with a Big Ten program. More than anything that Big Ten Network money or bowl money, I think that will excite the fan base, excite corporations and possible donors more than anything that'll come from earning Big Ten money. So I think that's what Tim was talking about when he responded the way that he did, because it will have to be paid for by people who want to make a difference for this program.

I noticed something similar to this recently. It only shows up on the application of the second coat of sensitizer. When you go to put the brush down for the first time, you need to make sure that you place it into the middle of the puddle of solution, not on a dry portion of the paper next to the solution.
The water in the brush will start to dissolve the first coat a little if you don't get it into the solution, and that can result in an unevenness in the final print. If you start by dipping the brush in the solution, then the water is not an issue, and everyting will go smoothly.
When I do test strips, I use a large piece of paper similar to the size of the print, and then cut strips out of the paper. this eliminates some of the variability associated with changing the coating size, etc. This is one case where I disagree with Dick's book, because I don't think a small test strip coating is ever going to be equivalent to a large sheet coating. They are not scaleable in a predictable way.
This is a good reason for people to sort their paper when then get it. If you have paper with defects, these are the logical pieces to use for the test strips. When I cut a large piece down for a 7x17 print, I am often left with a scrap of paper and two banquet sized pieces. I sort as I cut down, and if one of them has a defect, then it goes into the test sheet pile. The scraps are actually large enough to use for tests also, so I manage to have little waste.

The debate over offshoring of production, transfer of technological capabilities, and potential loss of U.S. competitiveness is a long-running one. Prevailing thinking is that the world is flat that is, innovative capacity is spreading uniformly; as new centers of manufacturing emerge, research and development and new product development follow.
Innovation in Global Industries challenges this thinking. The book, a collection of individually authored studies, examines in detail structural changes in the innovation process in 10 service as well as manufacturing industries: personal computers; semiconductors; flat-panel displays; software; lighting; biotechnology; pharmaceuticals; financial services; logistics; and venture capital. There is no doubt that overall there has been an acceleration in global sourcing of innovation and an emergence of new locations of research capacity and advanced technical skills, but the patterns are highly variable. Many industries and some firms in nearly all industries retain leading-edge capacity in the United States. However, the book concludes that is no reason for complacency about the future outlook. Innovation deserves more emphasis in firm performance measures and more sustained support in public policy.
Innovation in Global Industries will be of special interest to business people and government policy makers as well as professors, students, and other researchers of economics, management, international affairs, and political science.

Students clean up after Superstorm Sandy
In New York's Rockaway area, student volunteers through the University of Florida Hillel spent a weekend helping repair a recovering neighborhood.
Salvatore Falcone, his brother and his cousin couldn't believe the incoming storm could be as bad as his mother made it out to be. She chose to evacuate her house along the New York coast. The others chose to stay.
When water from Superstorm Sandy rose above the curb, then climbed past the first, second and third steps to his family's house and burst through the basement windows, Falcone realized they had a problem.
The 24-year-old tried to save as many valuables as he could, grabbing things his mother would be devastated to lose.
He and the others headed upstairs to the second floor, taking refuge in his mother's room. He looked back to see furniture and plants floating in the two feet of water covering the first floor.
"It was a crazy sight," he says.
Since Superstorm Sandy dissipated Oct. 31, Falcone's Rockaway neighborhood has relied on strength and support from strangers in volunteer services to help rebuild.
In November, some of that support came from UF. For two days, 40 Florida college students lent their time, hands and help to clean houses ravaged by the superstorm in a trip planned by the University of Florida branch of the Hillel Jewish student organization.
Gator students are providing Sandy aid through good deeds. See how UF researchers are using the superstorm to prevent future hurricane damage.
Help on the Way
Remnants of a boardwalk.
Blue signs marking the houses needing work.
Yellow for the ones that were still uninhabitable.
The wrecked beach houses and overall quiet of Rockaway disconcerted Melissa Stern, UF Hillel's engagement associate. She says the area didn't look like a neighborhood.
Such destruction, however, was exactly what students hoped to provide relief from. It was students who proposed the trip, and Boca Raton-based charity Hands on Tzedakah provided funds.
The volunteers left Nov. 15 for a 17-hour drive and worked the next two days in Falcone's area.
While in New York, the volunteers donated buckets of cleaning supplies to a Jewish federation, Stern says. They had dinner at Columbia University's Hillel and spent the night in apartments.
To clean the damaged ground floors of houses, she says the volunteers formed groups of four to five students and ripped up dry wall, mopped floors, picked out rusty nails and removed ruined furniture.
Gabrielle Harris (3CLAS), 21, cleared driveways by shoveling dirt and sand. The UF criminology and law student says she's faced hurricanes in her hometown of West Palm Beach and volunteered in New Orleans' Ninth Ward after Hurricane Katrina.
She says although the trip was through the UF Hillel, not all the volunteers were Jewish and not all of them were Gators. Students from other Florida universities, including Florida State, joined the trip.
The volunteers' differences didn't matter, Harris says. They were united for a good cause, and she hopes to keep in contact with the friends she made on the trip.
"When you help out, you become a community," she says. "Nothing gets in the way."
See more photos from the trip at Hillel's Facebook page.
Hard Work
The sight that stuck most with UF political science student Niels Sabin (3CLAS) was of a tennis court covered with sand despite being miles from the beach.
The Rockaway area was a stark contrast to up-and-running Times Square in midtown, about 20 miles inland.
As a volunteer, the 21-year-old from Gainesville helped a man rip up his deck, a woman carry furniture out of her flooded house and the Falcones tear down dry wall so the wall wouldn't rot from water damage.
Sabin says cleaning the Falcones' wall was the hardest job. He had to dig an inch and a half into the floor with screwdrivers to keep the wood from getting mold.
He says the Falcones were nice and joking toward the students, but he saw Salvatore Falcone's parents were emotional.
"It was really hard for them. You could tell they were really having trouble with it," he says. "I can't imagine having to break down my own house."
Gabrielle Harris says she helped a woman who didn't have home insurance and lost pet cats in the storm.
Harris says if she knew how to rebuild a home, she would do so for the victims. But it still felt good to volunteer.
"It was very fulfilling," she says.
Sabin says the trip was worthwhile.
"I enjoyed helping the people," he says. "They were so grateful."
Salvatore Falcone says he was glad to see everyone unafraid to get dirty to help his family. He says to ask people to take a sledgehammer to your walls was an emotional experience, especially for his mother, who furnished and built the house on a school teacher's salary. The students, however, were free from sentimental attachment and were able to do the difficult work.
Damage to the house is about $30,000, Falcone says. His family didn't have any insurance, and money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency isn't enough.
He's also out of a job beacuase the restaurant he manages 20 blocks from his house closed for repairs and to get new equipment.
For now, the Falcones are staying in his grandmother's house in Brooklyn while the Rockaway house remains without power or gas.
Salvatore Falcone's parents told the students to come back when the house is finished in another six to eight months so they can stay as proper guests and friends.
"I'm extremely grateful for all the help," he says. "They made a difference in a lot of people's lives."
He says even with the destruction came the good of strangers coming together to help people in need.
"It's unbelievable to see how humans are and how they want to help and are willing to help," he says. "It's a beautiful thing that they came here out of the goodness of their heart."

Collier County seeks to net fishing piers for Marco Island's Jolley Bridge
COLLIER COUNTY - Collier County transportation officials are fishing for dollars to replace piers at Marco Island's Judge S.S. Jolley Bridge.
The two fishing piers under the bridge were destroyed by Hurricane Wilma in 2004. After being closed to the public for years, they were removed when construction of the stimulus project to expand the bridge began in January.
There wasn't enough money to cover the cost of replacing the fishing piers in Florida Department of Transportation's $28.3 million stimulus budget for project, which will expand the bridge from two lanes to four lanes.
Collier County Commissioner Jim Coletta asked if money could be found elsewhere.
"I'm an access person, access to public land, to beaches. This is a matter of access for the average individual," Coletta said.
About 70 grant possibilities offered by government agencies, foundations and non profit organizations are being investigated to help pay for the piers, Collier County Metropolitan Planning Organization Director Phil Tindall advised the county commission on Tuesday.
"Of course, those grants will probably come with a local matching fund requirement," he said. "Collier County may look to Marco,"
Several Marco Island City Council members are amenable to the idea. Funding, nonetheless, remains a challenge for city, county and state level governments.
When the fishing piers were destroyed by Hurricane Wilma, grants were available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. However, those grants would likely only cover a portion of the cost of replacing and maintaining the fishing piers at the time, said FDOT spokeswoman Debbie Tower, of District 1, which includes Collier and Lee counties.
The other three government levels couldn't coordinate in time to snag the grants during what Tindall described as a "very short window of time."
Until 2004, FDOT was maintaining the piers, but because they are an amenity, they lost priority among transportation projects, said Tower.
Marco Island and Collier County elected officials have since expressed a willingness to maintain their corresponding jurisdiction's pier on each side of the bridge.
Netting the cash to build them is the challenge now.
Marco Island City Council Chairman Frank Recker said he supported MPO looking for options and thought Marco would come to the table if needed.
"You always used to see kids out there with their families," Recker said. "It's been a great loss."
Councilman Jerry Gibson agreed, saying he was disappointed a spot for anglers wasn't kept in the original project scope.
Johnson Brothers and FIGG presented the only bid under budget at $25.5 million, not including $2.5 million for inspection and project management, Tower said. It didn't include fishing piers at that price.
There was about $540,000 left over and the MPO reallocated that in September 2009 to repair the Mooring Line Drive bridge in Naples.
Wayne Jenkins, born and raised in Naples, prodded the county commission to continue their quest to replace the piers.
"There is no doubt there is a need for the catwalks," Jenkins said. "I call 'em catwalks, the fishing piers. Not a place to walk your cats out on the bridge."
Jenkins isn't alone in his support.
"My God, we're an island, we ought to have a place to fish," Gibson said.
The fishing piers were once believed to cost about $1.2 million, Tower had said. However, after receiving bids for the bridge expansion project, that estimate jumped closer to $6 million.
FDOT doesn't have the money to build fishing piers, Tower said. "We're focused on using available resources for transportation projects," she said.
An approximate $160 million sweep of the state transportation trust fund may be coming down the pipeline, Tower added, leaving no room to consider recreational upgrades, despite their popularity.
Commissioner Donna Fiala suggested that with construction projects costing less these days, perhaps money would be left over from the bridge expansion project.
There is no chance, Tower said. The contract between Johnson Brothers and FIGG is final, and any savings will be kept by the contractors, she said.
Tindall will move forward seeking grants as the commissioners requested on Tuesday, but there is some sense that the notion may be pie in the sky.
"It's a very difficult time to try to spend money on something like that— something that's not health and safety," Tindall said.

Allison Argent played by Crystal Reed on 'Teen Wolf.'

Whew! On last night's episode of Teen Wolf, things at Beacon Hills High are (somehow) getting even stranger. Between all the kidnappings, hypnotizing and abandoned bank break-ins, we could barely keep up with all the action. But, we're here to strictly talk fashion, and if there's one person that really sartorially stood out, it was definitely Allison. She managed to whip up two killer (heh) looks that inspired us to get more daring with our fall wardrobe. Her first ensemble was a mixed print tartan dress that featured a tinier plaid around the bib and collar, and bigger, bolder plaid throughout. Normally we would never think to put two different plaids together, but since they are in the same color scheme, she totally managed to make this look work.

Employee Newsletters:
Improving Morale
and Keeping the Lines of Communication Open
An internal employee newsletter provides an ideal vehicle to:
Communicate your company's goals and plans. Employees who have solid information from you about upcoming plans tend to spend less time speculating about the future. Honest, timely communication demonstrates your trust and confidence in your staff.
Recognize accomplishments of your employees. A photo and brief story about an outstanding employee helps motivate employees and demonstrates that you care about individuals in your organization.
Showcase your company's accomplishments. Pride in their business helps motivate employees and makes it clear that they are responsible for the business' success.
Introduce new members of the staff. There comes a point when an organization is too large for a new employee to meet everyone personally.
Adding a profile and picture of a new employee welcomes the new person and lets the rest of the staff know who the new face is.

Do you ever feel like your life has become a series of frantic short-term interactions?
Demands and distractions come in by the nanosecond -- beeping and clicking at you from multiple devices -- and there's not a minute left for invigorating conversation, true relaxation or, heaven forbid, strategic thinking.
Welcome to the age of distraction, where potential big thinkers have been sucked into the vortex of electronic minutia.
We're like little gerbils. But instead of racing on a little wheel going nowhere, we're clicking away on devices that never stop spinning.
When you find yourself checking email at red lights, it's time for a regroup.
Trying to manage, and ultimately master, my own time and information has been one of the biggest challenges of my life.
Here are three tips that help me live my days more strategically, productively and joyfully. Full disclosure, I'm only averaging about a 50 percent success rate with these. But I think you'll find that even small improvements make a big difference.
1) Don't check email first thing in the morning
It's tempting to grab your device before you roll out of bed. Resist this urge. The minute you dive into email you've gone from proactive to reactive. Your plan for the day is gone as you're sucked into other people's agendas.
Instead, block out your priorities and start working on them before you see what everyone else wants. Change leadership expert Seth Kahan said, "I'm at my best in the morning, so from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. I block out time to do my most important work. I write, I exercise, I think, I create." Kahan, the best selling author of Getting Change Right and Getting Innovation Right, said, "I don't schedule calls or meetings until after 10 a.m. I get my creative work done, then I can be focused on my clients."
2) Turn away from your devices during important conversations
I confess I used to read emails during phone calls. But after being on the receiving end of this behavior, I realize it's not only rude, it's inefficient.
Now, when I speak to a colleague, client or family member, I physically turn my chair away from my computer.
A 5- or 10-minute focused conversation with an employee can improve their performance for the rest of the week. Being fully attentive to the people you love provides a lifetime of benefits.
3) Allocate 5 minutes to prep and debrief meetings
I used to book myself with back-to-back meetings and phone calls. But rushing to the next thing prevented me from fully processing the previous meeting. It took longer to get into the meat of the next conversation because my brain needed time to transition.
Meetings take longer, follow-up is not great, and you find your team covering the same ground over and over, because you're regrouping every time you re-engage.
Now instead of one-hour meetings, I schedule 45 minutes. Calls that were once 30 minutes are now set for 20. I use the extra time to prep, debrief and make notes. My interactions are more productive. When I take the time to prep and debrief, even 5 minutes, I think more strategically. I don't feel rushed; I feel intentional. There's a big difference.
The amount of information coming at you isn't going to decrease; it's going to increase. Life may come at you in frantic endless blips, but don't let the pace of your electronics set the pace for your life.
Lisa Earle McLeod is the author of several books, including "Selling with Noble Purpose: How to Drive Revenue and Do Work That Makes You Proud."
