While it was certainly an adjustment, overall, I felt like I came out of COVID-19 unscathed. I’m certainly not trying to brag. I was, and still am, fortunate to work from home when I need or want to — and most of our employees are able to do the same. I was really grateful for […]
Are you experiencing “summer slacker syndrome?” Don’t beat yourself up over it. The warmer months of the year trigger this phenomenon — even among the most motivated individuals.

Founded in 2013, Zoom became synonymous with video conferencing, and in response to COVID-19, it became the top app of 2020 in the App Store.

I’m trying to be completely honest — I’m tired of writing, discussing, and thinking about working from home probably because most of us have been back in the office for months. The vaccine has made all of us feel a lot safer and we are grateful for that. However, despite the vaccine — many of […]
This year is all about new beginnings. 2020 threw everything it had at us — and yet we overcame all of its challenges. Better yet, we grew stronger, found new opportunities, and learned more about ourselves in 2020 than we ever knew prior. To honor those new beginnings, we should all be striving to become […]
Let’s not beat around the bush. Improving your productivity takes a lot of hard work and self-discipline. How many of us can resist responding to a text message? How often do we engage in busy work?

Over the years, I’ve put together my fair share of IKEA furniture. And, not to toot my own horn here, but I think I’ve mastered the art of assembling it. I know that it’s a struggle for many. But, for me, it’s all about patience and having the right tools. Sure. IKEA throws you a […]
