The Surprising Power of Daily Rituals
5 Ways They Can Set You up for Success
To some people, ritual is a bad word. Many folks recoil at the religious association, even though most rituals aren’t religious. For others, the thought of following set, predetermined actions makes them feel boxed in.
But rituals are inescapable. We are creatures of memory and habit. The only question is whether our rituals are intentional and useful or mindless and counterproductive.

3 Ways to Tell the Difference and Stay Motivated with What Matters Most
When it comes to setting personal or professional goals, how do you determine what makes your list? We’re often tempted to commit to important or urgent tasks that have been nagging us for a while. But that’s a mistake.

How to Make Your Weekend a WOW Experience
My Five Ingredient Recipe for Total Rejuvenation
Every year comes freshly stocked with 104 weekend days. That’s 28 percent of all available days in the year. It’s like a full quarter! The trouble is that we treat our weekends like a slush fund to bankroll more work. We’re forfeiting a tremendous amount of time we could invest in better uses.
Almost a third of Americans work on the weekends, and I bet the number is even higher among entrepreneurs and executives. Based on what the research tells us about rest and rejuvenation, there’s a competitive advantage in bucking the trend.
You’ll actually be more productive if you unplug. But that’s easier said than done for some of us.

Why Sandbagging Your Goals Kills Your Productivity
6 Steps to Lead Your Team to Peak Performance
I’m a fairly conservative person but not when it comes to setting new goals for myself or for my business. We may think setting conservative goals is wise, but it actually makes us and our teams less productive.
Too many leaders believe they’ll accomplish more if they lower the bar and set goals they can easily hit. We call that sandbagging. It might seem smart, but it’s a recipe for underperformance.

Why Skipping Lunch Is Bad for You and Worse for Business
2 Reasons to Take Advantage of the Lunch Hour Dividend
Did you skip lunch last week—either by gobbling down something at your desk or forgoing food altogether? The odds are good that you did.
A 2012 workplace survey by Right Management found just one in five employees take actual lunch breaks. That’s a problem because both the lunch and the break are good for you.
