I don't think it's dead. I check it fairly often too. I suppose I'm too damn lazy to just give an update sometimes.
My job search is moving along, but rather frustrating. I still feel optimistic though.
What's got my wheels turningBooks:
21 Irrefutable Qualities of a Leader - John C.
Loved this, loaded with quotes too!
Raving fans - Ken Blanchard & Shelden Bowles
This is a short read and written like a parable and quite entertaining. Excellent for customer service as well
I recently reread Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and The Starbucks Experience by Joseph Michelli. I always try to reread a book every 4-5 new books. The information hits you at a different point and you can usually get something unique out of reading it the second time around. The latter goes hand in hand with Raving Fans above; right now I'm very focused on how I can deliver a world class experience at my gym in the future.
I've got a book on sleep quality coming in. If you improve the quality of your sleep you may be able to reduce the amount you get nightly by 30 minutes. This translates to 3 1/2 extra hours per week or 182 hours per year. That's the equivalent of 4.5 full time work weeks. You can buy yourself an extra month of productivity for the year. Time is a measure of life, to waste time is to waste life.
I've been using Wayne Cotton's idea for time management too. The premise is that there are 4 colors - Green machine (money making time), Red Tape (organization/administration/school/etc), Blue Sky (visionary/direction/planning), and Mellow Yellow (Relax). It emphasizes getting enough of each and not to mix the colors because that makes brown and brown is s***. Check it out here for a better description:
