While it is always a sound strategy to have a well thought out and documented plan for the future, you must invest time in the moment before you can ever move ahead in your life. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/2841/Multitask-Your-Way-To-A-Shorter-Life.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/2841/Multitask-Your-Way-To-A-Shorter-Life.html Most of us think that having the ability to do several things is a gift or a blessing that helps up to get more done in less time. But the truth is that you can drive yourself crazy while trying to multitask and obsessing over every little problem. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/2841/What-Is-Your-Destiny.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/2841/What-Is-Your-Destiny.html The majority of people are controlled by, and operate in certain ways because of the power of habit. They seldom think of concentrating on why they have certain habits, or study themselves to see if they could make improvements in their lives. The good news is that you can literally re-program yourself for greater success in any area of life. By building your Power of Concentration, you can increase your awareness and focus on developing good habits. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/2841/Who-Ya-Gonna-Call-STRESS-BUSTERS.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/2841/Who-Ya-Gonna-Call-STRESS-BUSTERS.html In the last week alone, I have seen several articles addressing the subject of stress and its impact on health and well being. In one of them, Pam Belluck of the New York Times shared some interesting insights and statistics from experts. http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/2841/Stressful-Times-Need-A-StressBusting-Remedy.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/2841/Stressful-Times-Need-A-StressBusting-Remedy.html Stress can and does negatively affect your health – both mentally and physically. Studies have demonstrated that stress leads to emotional issues, such as a lack of concentration and substance abuse, relationship issues, needless arguments and domestic violence. Studies are showing that stress also causes unwanted weight gain. With obesity approaching epidemic numbers in many countries, who needs the extra pounds. Plus, there’s the physical symptoms such as high-blood pressure, back pain and sleep disorders! http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/2841/What-Is-Inside-Of-You-Peace-and-Happiness-Or-Stress-and-Turmoil.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/2841/What-Is-Inside-Of-You-Peace-and-Happiness-Or-Stress-and-Turmoil.html Yesterday, I saw Jack LaLanne on a television program. Yes, the 94-year old fitness expert and inspiration to millions and millions of people is still going strong. In the closing remarks for the interview, Jack left his audience with the following thought. “You are responsible for everything you do - both on the outside and also inside of you.” http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/2841/Concentration-Is-The-Cure-For-Tough-TimesPart-Two.html http://www.evancarmichael.com/Work-Life/2841/Concentration-Is-The-Cure-For-Tough-TimesPart-Two.html You may or may not have a genius IQ. In fact, you are probably like the 70% of the population who are in the 85 to 115 IQ range. It does not matter. The man or woman that is chosen to take charge is not usually a genius.

That precious time is gone forever. Every day, you have 1,440 minutes at your disposal. That’s the same amount of time that successful people like, a Bill Gates or a Nelson Mandela, have every day.
