You might have heard/read the adage ‘What gets measured gets managed.’ It’s the idea that we can’t change or improve something unless we’re keeping track of it. The simple act of paying attention to something will cause you to make connections you never did before, and you’ll improve the those areas – almost miraculously, without […]
If only I had more time… Raise your hand if you’ve ever said that to yourself or anyone else. (Unless you’re in a public place, in which case, I’ll let you off the hook with a blink.) You probably already know on a deeper level that it isn’t really lack of time that’s stopping you […]
