Effectiveness at Work

This post comes from the Goal Setting Worksheet

Being effective at work requires some attention to some basic points. Here are some of them:

Key Points

When we're truly effective at work, we manage our time well, we communicate clearly, and we have a good attitude.

Effective workers are often the most respected and the most productive in their workplaces, and they're often the first to be considered for a promotion. So it's definitely worth the effort to build skills here!

Start by doing a job analysis to discover what your role is really about. Next, learn how to manage your time better, communicate more effectively, and control any stress.

Also, make sure that you devote time towards further learning and career development. You never know how or when these new skills will pay off!

How to Ditch Netflix and Still Watch (Almost) Everything You Want

This post comes from the Goal Setting Worksheet

Netflix price change has outraged many users. Here is what you can do about it.

Here's what you get with the new Netflix: Unlimited streaming is $8 a month. Unlimited, one-DVD-at-a-time rental is $8 a month. Together, that's now $16 to stream movies and rent discs. Netflix says their streaming library offers 20,000 selections; their DVD library offers over 100,000 shiny pucks. (Whether or not that includes individual TV episodes and DVD discs is unclear. Netflix PR did not reply back to an inquiry.) You also can play videos on a number of home theater devices, including TVs, DVD and Blu-Ray players, iPads, smartphones, and set-top boxes. Plus, you get to use Netflix's awesome queue and recommendation engine, which, to be fair, is underappreciated.

So let's take a look at the viable alternatives to both the streaming and DVD services. (Options are kept to subscription services, since we assume most people watch/stream more than 10 movies a month. And presumably, you don't need a guide to buy movies a la carte from iTunes or Amazon.)

Fighting Stress Through Exercise

This post comes from the Goal Setting Worksheet

There are many reasons to exercise, but one of the best ones is to fight the stress that accumulates in your life

One of the reasons exercise is beneficial is that whilst being active, it is basically hard to think about your problems when your mind is engaged in whatever type of workout you are following.

Goal Setting: Why The Good Old Notepad And Pen Are Crucial To Success

This post comes from the Goal Setting Worksheet

There are many advantages to using pen and paper when you define your goals. Here are some of them.

Writing Uses Different Modalities

The act of writing with a pen employs our visual and kinesthetic modalities. As we write the words they become etched on our mind. Writing makes a much deeper impression on the mind. Your emotions can even flow through your pen as you write furiously or at a measured pace, pressing harder on words you feel strongly about, emphasizing key words and phrases with exclammation marks or underlining.
