Such a boring topic I know, but I find that if you take a few minutes to review your schedule each day, you get a lot more accomplished by the end of the week. And that means a sense of accomplishment. People are always asking me how I pile so much into my day and it’s all because of how I schedule things.
But, I make sure that I also leave time for play!! No play makes people awfully boring!

Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.

Do you believe that your dreams mean something? Could it be that your dreams are trying to tell you something?? There has to be some reason we dream don’t you think??
“There is no universally agreed-upon biological definition of dreaming. The dogma states that dreams are associated with REM sleep but the evidence for this is not strong. Subjects awakened during REM sleep usually report having been dreaming but since REM sleep is not as deep as non-REM sleep, it …read more

Well actually the idea of managing your time could apply to everyone, not just the writer. I guess the more I think about it, the more I realize that it’s not about managing time so much as learning to manage ourselves. That is the key and I noticed it even more so while on holiday. I am definitely a person who is governed by routine. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing!

“Paris Hilton is said to be desperately trying to distance herself from her second major film role because she wants to avoid looking like an acting failure. Sorry to break it to ya, Paris, but you’re two movies too late.
The red carpet fixture cancelled her appearance at the premiere of her latest movie, National Lampoon’s Pledge This, and she’s now backing away from doing any promotional duties related to the film, reports the New York Post’s Page Six.”
Am I the only one who feels just a little sorry for her. It seems that anything she tries to do, someone is …read more
“PUNE: A day after a motorcyclist was involved in an accident with Hollywood star Angelina Jolie’s motorcade here, a large posse of policemen was stationed outside the five star hotel where she and Brad Pitt are staying.
Two police vans and policemen were stationed at one of the gates of the hotel where a large number of mediamen and star-struck fans had gathered to get a glimpse of Jolie. ”

Do you think that you are superstitious? I have to admit that I’m a lot more superstitious than I ever expected to be. For example, I used to wave good-bye to both Britt and G before heading off to work. And then I read a superstition that warned you not to watch them drive away because that might be the last time you see them. I know that it is dumb, but say good-be at the door and then leave immediately. I haven’t waved good-be since I read the warning.
So, I know that superstitions are silly, but I can’t …read more

Quit and you get no where. I have never been the most patient person, but somewhere along the line, I learned that if you want something badly enough, you have to work at it. If you quit, it’s never going to happen. If you stick with it, who knows, you just might pull it off. At least you have a better chance at succeeding than if you quit.

When you are in a miserable mood, wonderful things happen. Like yesterday for example. Nothing was going right. The day was cold and dreary and I wasn’t in the mood to work and then right out of the blue, I hear my doorbell ring. That annoyed me even more because I thought that it had to be workman showing up unannounced to fix/break something else in the house. I very nearly didn’t answer the door. But I was in for a wonderful surprise.
At the door was my mom and my Uncle Stan. The had driven at least three hours …read more
