Better time management

As I’ve mentioned before, work/life balance is a big issue ’round the ACS these days (where isn’t it an issue?). So, as a public service, I’d like to point to the latest time management, work productivity movement: GTD (Getting Things Done). One way to improve your balancing act is to be better organized and get more done with the time you have. About every decade a time management guru emerges. Right now it’s a guy named David Allen. He has the book on GTD, naturally, and a website, naturally. You can even search for blogger fans and acolytes on Technorati by using the tag  gtd. Never hurts to review time management practices.

DailyOm nurturing mind, body & spirit

I have been checking out the FI Space and it looks like the Personal Change section needs some attention. Here is a great web site for looking at this kind of topic, and I am mentioning an entry this week on the DailyOm web site called "Beyond The Small Self – Being A Good Global Citizen."

The DailyOm says, "It would be difficult to deny that we are in a very challenging time as a planet. Watching or reading the news can be depressing and we may avoid it because we want and need to keep our energy up to attend to our individual lives. While there is nothing wrong with knowing when you need a retreat from the news of the day to restore your energy, when you are restored, remember that the world needs you and your light. The more conscious you are, and the more consciousness is something you seek, the more power you have to change this world for the better."
