Don't Be Tardy

I find it fascinating how we all seem to have certain things that get our goat, so to speak. And what’s even more interesting about this is what tends to irritate and annoy one person may have absolutely no impact at all on another. I wrote an article a while back about a related topic, Pet Peeves, that seemed to strike a chord and get a real rise out of many of you. Today I want to address another irritating situation: Being late!
I operate under the assumption that if I am not 15 or 20 minutes early, I’m late. With this as my standard, I find myself seldom rushed and never late for an appointment or meeting. Of course, there is always the occasional flat tire or unforeseen situation that you cannot control, but that is precisely why I always figure that possibility into my traveling calculation. In my opinion, being late never serves you well and always makes a bad impression. In short, it demonstrates poor planning and reeks of disrespect! So I always try to arrive early because there is one sentence I don’t like to say… or hear: I’m sorry I’m late!

MY THOUGHTS
I can't say Iwas never tardy. But I am the one some people hated because they had to take the bus to a retreat venue. We set a time and a place. We gave enough warning that we would leave at the appointed time. We also gave out maps-for those who thought I wasn't serious enoughto leave them behind. I did. I don't believe those who came early should be allowed to cool their heels for those who cannot come on time.
if you think managing others is difficult, try managing yourself. what's tricky here is that managing others becomes more stressful as you fail to manage yourself. it's no rocket science - how can you expect to manage others when you cannot even manage yourself?

ARE YOU LOLLYGAGGING?
Are You Lollygagging?
Daily Inspiration
By John H. Sklare, Ed.D, Lifescript Personal Coach
Published May 09, 2011
Please consider today’s Reflection as a motivational wake-up call for all of you who aren’t getting things done in life. Let me begin with a simple question: Are you lollygagging? To lollygag means “to waste time in trifling or aimless activity; fool around or dawdle.” I want you to think about the most important goal in your life that’s unfinished. Sure, there may be good reasons to waste time, but until you get going with this, it simply isn’t going to become a reality.
So today I ask you to think about that one desired goal in your life. Is today the day you finally begin to take honest action toward this objective? Or have you decided that lollygagging is a wiser use of your time? At the end of the day, it’s your life and time that you’re wasting!

MY THOUGHTS
I think lollygagging is good-once in a while. Maybe 30 minutes a day opf vegging out will keep away the stress. But to lollygag for more than that is a serious problem. My biggest question, for now, is what is 'trifling and aimless'?. What you're doing for the moment may notlooklike something that will help you reach that one desired momentous goal. But not every small thing is trifle. If what you're doing is helping someone, even if it doesn't seem to contribute to your dream, I will not call that lollygagging!

IMPROVE YOUR IQ
Get Fit to Improve Your IQ
YOUR DAILY FIT TIP
By The Lifescript Editorial Staff
Published May 06, 2011
Running is great for your heart and pumping iron builds strong muscles, but could both also help improve brain power?
Increased circulation, as a result of engaging in regular exercise, benefits your whole body, but especially your brain, which relies on a steady flow of blood to supply both nutrients and oxygen to its tissues. And what better time to beef up your brain’s “muscles” than during childhood?
According to a study from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, kids who are physically fit are smarter too. Fit kids will obviously score higher on fitness tests, but studies shows they also score higher on academic tests. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Exercise promotes whole body awareness, and as a result of engaging in regular physical activity, the brain is better equipped to help you focus your attention on the task at hand.
Whether you were a fit kid, or never were and are now an adult in need of getting into shape, it’s time to focus your attention on regular exercise. Experiencing brain fog? Having writer’s block? Forgot where you left your keys? Go take a walk!
