Productive waiting, a better use of time.

-
Waiting, you either like it or are so upset at the human factor causing your current frustration that you don't have the clarity of mind to realize that you are in control of what you do while you are waiting. Time brings me to the point of this little note. How important is your time to you?

Time is worth far more than any monetary currency. You have a limited amount of time to live. Time spent waiting is equivalent to life time wasted. When you wait you are not doing anything to add value, or grow in any way. I am currently waiting on someone. Instead of being consumed by the misery that overthinking can bring on, I am taking this time to write about waiting.

Why write? you might ask. This is a technique I use to help me understand a subject better, and I get to do something I enjoy. What could you be doing when you have no other option but wait? The possibilities are endless, even the act of solving the aforementioned problem is a blessing in itself. While thinking about what you could be doing while you wait you are activating a life altering change in how you will perceive life in the near future.

The fact is you are always in control of your time no matter where you go, or need to go. When you start waiting on anything or anyone remember to take back control of your time. Here is a basic technique you can experiment with. Start breathing slower and deeper and try not to think about any particular subject. You will start feeling relaxed and thoughts will come to mind. You can either let them fade away or take one and do with it what you will. Just keep in mind that positive and negative thoughts will come to mind. Follow the positive or productive thoughts.


This process takes only a few minutes and the more you practice it the better you will get at it. That's it, from there on out its all you. Waiting has more possibilities than you previously imagined.

By all means be a unique person That quirky thing you do that makes you, you. Being who you truly are can be defined best by an Eastern philosophy I have come to believe in. It might seems that an outsider is making a judgement call but before we get there consider the following when next you look in the mirror. In Japanese culture, they say you have three faces. The first face, you show to the world. The second face, you show to close friends and family. The third face, you show to no one. The third face is also the person you truly are. Taking this philosophy into consideration, you cant really show your third face to anyone. Your second face to some and your third face to all. The only thing we can really do is to better understand ourselves first, before sharing with everyone else. What you need to remember before you start "being yourself" is that you are above all a human first. Contrary to popular belief we are all flawed. As a species we are at the dawn off g...

How poor communication regarding work can lead to failure with unexpected outcome

-
During my career I helped a manager with advice on a newly appointed senior manager lack of business communication skills. This article is from the managers point of view. Dealing with a diverse group of managers with their own unique work ethic and skill set, communication is crucial. It is also important to keep in mind that you are dealing with adults so professionalism is key. In this case a senior manager neglected to do follow up work on a three monthly work schedule issued to a manager. The manager did not see it as a priority because of the senior managers lack of stating that the schedule is broken up into weekly deadlines. The senior manager did follow up work only when the work schedule came up for review two months later and was shocked that the manager did not work on the schedule. The manager claimed that it was not seen as a priority due to poor or no communication regarding the work schedule. The manager thought that one month left to complete the schedule would be mo...
