Have a Little Understanding

A lot of the conflicts that we have in our personal and professional relationships wouldn’t happen if we all (and yes, I am including myself in this statement) had a little more understanding.  Not just understanding what the person is trying to tell you, but understanding the person, as well as the situation fully before forming opinions or jumping to conclusions.  C’mon, can’t we all just get along?!

Find Your Fountain of Youth

Ahhh, to be young. Wait, I am young. Okay… Ahhh, to stay young. Anyway. The desire to be, or stay young runs through all of us, it’s part of that survival instinct. Being young isn’t necessarily and age issue, however. There are certain mindsets, goals, and daily activities that make us young, no matter how old the DMV tries to tell us we are.

Freshman Survival

The freshman year of college can really be a tough thing to contend with.  You’re away from home (most likely for the first time in your life for any real length of time), you’re away from your family, you are on your own for the first time, really.  Add to that the pressure of doing well in class and having something resembling a social life, and you can see how it can all overwhelm you fast.  Take these tips from OrganizeIT to heart, and your experience will be a little easier (but let’s face it, you’re still going to miss mom and dad whether you want to admit it or not).

Grow Up! (or at least act like it)

There are two types of adults.  Those who are adult by age only, and those who are adult through actions and thought.  The first group doesn’t act like adults, they just happen to be over 18 years of age, the second group may very well be 15, 16, or 17 years old, but have the maturity and thought process that makes them a “mental” adult.  How do you differentiate the two?  Marc and Angel help us out here.

Let It Go..

The line between work and home, on and off, productive and downtime can get really blurry really easy.  The problem is twofold.  First, your productivity will wane from the lack of focus, and your home life, and possibly health, will take a hit from lack of relaxation and taking the time to recharge.  Our friends at Lifehack.org have come to the rescue with a set of “decompression instructions” that help out a great deal.
