I keep a journal for many reasons. I collect my thoughts occasionally for the day. More oft then naught, I just end up jotting down things throught the day that strike me as note worthy. Occasionally there are reminders or meeting notes in my jour...

@Plainsman: "I think that what hurts us, ultimately, is multi-tasking. While multitasking is a virtue touted in all jobs these days, I believe that humans are not wired for success when they multi-task (except for a select few)." AMEN. I can tota...

I haven't started work yet, in order to read this. After reading this, I will probably ponder this at my work desk until lunch time.... Actually, I have the same problem and look forward to the advice dispensed in this thread. ^^ I have also se...

"To me, work is work. It's not supposed to be enjoyable. I know there are people that enjoy their jobs. That's great." That's a great mentality to have. If work was intended to be fun for us, then we'd be paying to be there, instead of the other ...

Robert is right. Everyone should enjoy their work to a point but no matter how much you love your work it is still a job and there are going to be things you don't like and or really hate. Realizing that no job is all great or even mostly great is...

I'm not sure I can help at all. I was taught to work. Over the years I've had some really tough jobs. I was taught that work isn't supposed to be enjoyable. It's just work. I keep work and home separate. I never let the two mingle. One of the reas...

I've found the printable CEO series to be great for staying focused, but they won't help you if the problem is motivation. Without knowing the nature of your work, it's hard to say what could work. I have a fair amount of flexibility in my job, s...

You could do the list thing, also I grew my job to be and extension of my home so that I do think about while I'm gone but I am not obsessed with it. I also look at my productivity at work being a extension of who I am as a person an have reframed...

By the way, I was pressed for time when I wrote my first response. Credit should go to Paul Kyriazi's excellent self-help book, How to Live the James Bond Lifestyle. New, improved audio book available, paperback is out of print and very expensive....

Yankee Cowboy is on the right track. You need to get a list together. I'd add that you should have a couple of lists. One is "Stuff that needs to get done." That should be the project(s), reviews, returned messages and calls, etc., the job perform...

I have had a similar problem. Come home, feel dead, take a power nap of 20 minutes, have supper, watch TV, repeat while longing for the weekend, where I can spend more time doing nothing useful. Last weekend, I had personal productivity — and it w...

When I don't feel like working any more, I do more of that aspect of my job I love the most.

I've recently started a new job within the past few months. For the most part, I'm really digging it. So far, at least, I've not had any problem getting up in the morning and going into work. The people I work with are great, I'm learning new thin...

Will your Grandkids fight over your leather bag when you're dead? Do people stop you to ask where you got your bag? This group is for people who love their bags, want leather maintenance tips or just want to share their personal bag story.

The Much Awaited Round 4: Pilsner

Howdy fans. Its been oh...ages? Life hit me a bit hard, and so my time for beer tasting and reviewing, well, took a back seat for a while. Between getting sick, getting better, and moving, and yeah, starting a new job. In any case, Im back, and I've got a review.

So, when we last spoke, I had just tried the Nut Brown Ale. And I liked it. A lot. However, I had said it was a close call between the NBA, and the Pilsner. Well, I just tried the Pilsner.

Lack of Beer Updates

Well...I had planed to drink a beer from this six pack every night that I could till I finished up the sample pack. Well, I have been. However, there has been a distinct lack of posting since I partook of the Nut Brown Ale. This is simply because I had a few nights of getting home later after family outings, followed by days and days of being sick as a dog. I dont know about you, but I don;t tend to drink when I'm sick. I went to the doctor's office about 2 days ago, and they put me on some clar… Continue

Round 3: Nut Brown Ale

So, No posts the past few days, because I've no time to drink past few nights. Sorry bout that, but life catches up to you some times, and I don't always feel like downing a beer (or half a beer, whatever) right before bed.

In any case, I debated a bit between trying the Nut Brown ale, or the Pilsner. I'd never had a Nut Brown ale, or any kind of Brown ale for that matter (to my knowledge). I've no idea what a Brown Ale is. I have had pilsners tho, So I decided on the Nut Brown Ale instead:… Continue

Round 2: Spring Lager

So, the second beer i tried from the St. Georges Brewery was the Spring Lager.



I've had simmilar "spring" drinks. THey all tend to try to be lighter then the winter ones (usually stouts), and I've noticed that summer drinks tend to be "ales". This Spring lager tho, was nice. I liked it.

First off, the color. It has this nice golden red. Not quite the red of Killians Irish, but, IMO, comprable… Continue

Round One: Porter

The first of the St. George's beers that I tried was the Porter, since I tend to be a fan of Porters and Stouts.



Porters are at the dark end of beers. Tend to be smooth, and have less of a bite then most beers (at least in my experience). Often, like Stouts, Porters are made with some chocolate or coffee or similar ingredient. Least I think so anyways.

At first glance, this beer was pretty da… Continue
