Even before COVID-19, remote work was having a minute. Global Workplace Analytics estimates “that 56% of the U.S. workforce holds a job that is compatible (at least partially) with remote work.” Moreover, “25-30% of the workforce will be working-from-home multiple days a week by the end of 2021.” Regardless if we ever actually return to […]
Growing up, I was angled with serious allergies and sinus issues. As a result, I spent most mornings congested and feeling stuffy. Suffice to say, the last thing that I wanted to do was chow-down on breakfast. As I’ve gotten older, I’m still not much of a breakfast eater. I have nothing against the food […]
I’ve been groggy the last couple of days. That’s expected — what with daylight saving time. However, it’s nothing to balk at. And I think COVID has made the “can’t sleep” worse. I recently asked a doctor about my non-sleep habits. Anxiety in the night — so I get up and work, play vid games […]
We all know someone who has done the impossible. They bust their tails off, while somehow being able to have a life. I mean, how can someone like Dwayne Johnson have multiple projects, workout for several hours daily, and spend time with his family? Maybe he’s an anomaly.

At least 70% of Americans are using credit cards with at least 34% carrying 3 or more different cards. In the past, I was not always a fan of credit cards. However, once I learned how to use them wisely I finally started to see the benefits of carrying a few credit cards. If you […]
Dale Carnegie put it best. “Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration, and resentment.” We all experience frustration; it is a natural response to stress, after all. Your internet goes out during a virtual meeting. Getting stuck in a line. Having construction on your street while working from home. And […]
With some exceptions, the roughly 287 million registered vehicle owners realize that purchasing their vehicle was only half the battle. The other? Properly maintaining it. Unless you’re driving a temporary vehicle, most car owners intend to keep their automobiles for an extended period of time. They have to change the oil regularly change the oil, […]
Life in the early second millennium is quite a hectic or even manic one. Modern people try to do dozens of errands and be in several places at the same time. Family matters, household drudgeries, and social responsibilities keep us on the run when we finally call it a day at our work. And the […]
While making a salad for lunch yesterday, I cut my finger while cutting-up a tomato. It wasn’t severe. But, it was just enough for me to proclaim how much of a moron I am. Even though you might not be aware of this, we all engage in a little self-talk occasionally. But, what exactly is […]
