Nat'l Make Lunch Count Day! (April 13)

Tomorrow is Make Lunch Count Day, a day set aside to get away from your desk and enjoy your midday lunch away from the office.  This is so important because 73% of people eat lunch at their desks at least 2x/week and one third of workers eat lunch at their desks every single day.  Are you guilty of this?  I am!  I typically pack my lunch 5 days/week and end up eating at my desk 3-5 days per week.  On Mondays I dog sit on my lunch break and I try to make it a point to go to my parents house one a week to eat my lunch with them and my niece.  But, most of the time I stay at my desk because it's convenient. 

There are lots of ways to celebrate Make Lunch Count Day and you can make it count even more by keeping your meal eco-friendly.  I plan to pack a zero waste picnic and invite one of my coworkers to join me at the local park to share lunch, a quick walk and some good conversation.  This midday break is a great way to clear your mind and leaves you feeling more refreshed to take on the afternoon when you return to work.  In fact, this sounds like such a good plan I think I'll try to do it at least once a week when the weather permits.

What Can You Do For Mother Nature?

Global warming is the increase in temperature of the earth's surface. Because of the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane, the earth is unable to release the heat on the earth's atmosphere. The heat would accumulate on the earth's atmosphere and eventually have an effect on men and life on earth. The earth is already calling for our attention. If you haven't noticed the different environmental disasters and problems that we are having, then you are either blind or trying to be blind of the things happening around you. These disasters and problems that we are experiencing are all because of our own doing. We've been exploiting the earth for the longest time without thinking about the consequences of our actions. We are now seeing the ugly effects of our actions.  There is still time to help change the condition of the earth. With enough awareness and actions, we'll be able to help preserve earth's beauty.  Here are some tips y

Understanding the Value of Time Management

Image
Time management should be one of the qualities that you should take very seriously if you are looking at your personal development.   It is rightly said that a person who does not respect time does not respect his or her own self.   How would one define time management actually?   Is it about making a timetable and abiding by it?   Or is it about allotting a specific time to do your daily tasks?   Or is it about separating time for work, play, food and everything else that a human needs to do? If you put it simply, time management is all about scheduling your tasks in any way that ensures their accomplishment. It does not matter how much time you allot to your tasks; the main thing is that you should be able to accomplish everything that you take up.   There should be no wastefulness of time.   Even entertainment and recreation—two very important human necessities—should be accounted for. When a person masters the art of doing that, they can be called as good time manage
