Getting to inbox zero; Getting Things Done® style

“While inbox zero every day is a great goal, you don’t want to sacrifice predefined work or unplanned to only do defining. Some people have such high volume too that getting into zero each day just isn’t realistic. And those less than two-minute ones can chew your day away quickly. That said, most people, in my coaching experience, don’t spend nearly enough time on defining because they don’t consider it “real work.” And, they have so much backlog that it seems unattainable.” Go to the source for more: Getting to inbox zero – Getting Things Done®

What does it mean to be in loving, authentic relationship with another human being?

If you had asked some 450 days ago, I would have readily offered answers and shared very definitive opinions on the subject. I have always been a keen observer of (not participator in) the rare and exotic qualities found among a handful of very fortunate couples. I thought I understood the territory of love and intimacy well. I knew nothing.

Learning to be in loving, intimate, and authentic relationship for the very first time at 60 has proven to be quite the head and heart trip – and a journey laden with paradox.

  • It is a solo journey and it is taken in the company of this chosen other.
  • I feel younger than I’ve felt in decades and I think I’m too old for this shit.
  • Love is a wildly exhilarating…

Nature, Nurture And Your Politics

When most of us think about how we came to our political views, we often give a straightforward answer. We believe our stances on taxes, immigration or national security are shaped by those around us — our friends, parents, teachers. We assume our life experiences are the root of our political ideologies. But what if there is something deeper in us that drives the music we listen to, the food we eat — even the politicians that we elect? This week, we explore the role of biology in shaping our political identities: Nature, Nurture And Your Politics

Compassion: The value at heart

Another lovely WordPress.com blog…

Compassion (noun)
:sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it

At the root of compassion is the Latin words, “com” meaning, “with, together” and “pati” meaning, “to suffer”.  In the mid-14c. compassion or rather, “compassioun” meant “suffering with another”. Today’s definition includes a significant alteration, “a desire to alleviate” such suffering.  It is a significant change.

It is also a key ingredient in executing Wake the Nation’s vision, mission and goals. As the Wake the Nation team works to complete our 2019-2022 strategic framework we find ourselves defining the values that shape, support and reflect our philosophy. Compassion is at the core.

Compassion is the heartbeat that pumps motivation into our team. At the center of the organization’s circulatory system, it supplies inspiration, transports love enriched determination and creates momentum. Compassion is responsible for Wake the Nation’s movement.
