While this is a situation than many of us can immediately identify with, I found it very interesting. This example; of poor to non-existent communication on the part of the project manager, who thought he was doing a bang-up job; neatly illustrates the number one problem I have observed with human communication. Why does person-to-person communication fail all the time? Because one of those people has assumed that communication has taken place – when in fact it hasn’t....

One of the best ways to ensure the health and vitality of your vegetables and herbs is to surround them with plants that are complementary to them; a technique known as companion planting. The idea behind this is that every plant out there needs vital nutrients, and also expels nutrients that are beneficial to other organisms.

The “right” work is the kind you leap out of bed for each morning; work which makes your heart sing because you’re fully engaged in getting each of your talents to fire on all cylinders....

When I study successful people by reading biographies and by talking with them, I see a clear pattern in their actions. The power of the five things below lies not in that you know them all, or you know some. The real strength is in hearing and seeing them again, and this time taking action. Apply what you read and grow. Here are five things you should take into account in order to create amazing results in your life....

Clearly, that’s no way to live. But the key to getting the life you want is to make changes in your routine and kick it in the a** a little bit, so our days aren’t spent like Bill Murray in “Groundhog Day” — experiencing the same thing over and over again, day after excruciating day. In less time than it took Murray to learn the life lessons of “Groundhog Day,” you can do the same, starting the ball rolling on a new, improved life that looks much brighter…no matter what challenges you might be facing....

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it. How much time do you get a week to just think? Not while listening to music, driving your car or during group brainstorms. Not while playing video games, doing chores or taking a shower. Just you and your brain. I’d wager that few people ever average more than twenty unbroken minutes of thinking each week....

We’re both decent writers and the price is right so we follow up on the sign. Within minutes, we’re each sitting before a computer.

I type a few lines about liking peaches but that’s it. Today wasn’t my lucky day. How To Be In The Right Place At The Right Time More Often

Of course, Three’s Company wouldn’t be so funny if more characters weren’t so blind to believe based on their own limited worldview, like Chrissy Snow stereotyped as the “dumb blonde”, a tradition that continues in many comedy shows today. It’s true misunderstandings can make us laugh in real life, but they also cause a lot of conflict: on the Internet, heated arguments erupt like acne boils into flamewars because two people at odds with each other would rather assume the other side’s position and cast their own filters, instead of being curious and learning....

I myself lived on the edges of the digital nomad world for years before finally going all in just under one year ago. In fact, I’d not even heard of the term digital nomad until some guys I work with suggested that I write a book for them based on my experiences. A savvy English girl repeated the term to me very shortly after during our first conversation together next to the Indian Ocean....

We have positive, negative and incidental beliefs. Beliefs typically form over a long period of time. From the day we are born that computer on top of our shoulders is being programmed....

Somewhere along the way, society seems to have glorified this feeling to be something positive as it means you care, but the fear of disappointing others can be a powerful negative emotion that can eat away from your own happiness. This article takes you through 6 steps that will help you conquer the fear of disappointing others. 1. Accept You’ll Never Be Enough (In the Eyes of Others) This may sound harsh, but it’s important to remember that if your goal is to please everyone – then you’re setting yourself up to fail....

It’s a nearly constant state of fatigue that saps energy, motivation, and focus. Constant fatigue can affect your physical, emotional, and psychological health. If you get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise regularly but still struggle to perform daily tasks, concentrate, or be motivated, you may suffer from fatigue. Fatigue makes it difficult for you to wake up in the morning, go to work, and complete daily tasks.
