Productivity and Distractions

Life is made of distractions.  Before you read this entire article, you will be turned away or distracted by an ad on a website, your phone, your TV, a colleague, pet, etc.  The point is, productivity can increase when distractions decrease.  This, mixed with applying the 80/20 principle, will allow you to accomplish massive gains in the areas that are the most important to you.  Below, find 3 steps to increase your productivity:

1. Turn Off Distractions. Email notification windows/sounds, messenger notification windows/sounds, cell phone ringtone, cell phone text message tone and more are set up to alert you of something happening.  In most cases, you do not need to drop everything you are doing and get to them right away.  Turning off these notifications can allow you to focus on your most important goals and tasks.
2. The 80/20 Principle. Focusing on your most important goals and tasks comes straight out of the 80/20 Principle.  To do this, you need to focus 80% of your time on the top 20% of your goals or tasks that will give you the highest (or best) return.  On the flip side, 80% of your goals and tasks will account for 20% of your success.
3. Email. A lot of people spend most of their day with their Email client window up.  Some, refreshing their email waiting for something to come to them.  To increase your productivity and get more things done, you need to limit yourself with email.  Some people can limit themselves to twice a day; some might need to limit themselves to once an hour.

Installing a Security Camera System? Wear a Mask!

Leonardo da Vinci did more than paint the Mona Lisa – he was also a safety pioneer! Seeing some of his fellow artists coughing while chiseling and sanding marble, he had the idea that a piece of cloth dipped in water and stretched over the nose and mouth could make the job safer. He was onto something. Safety masks have become a job site necessity for many different professions and hobbies.

Our lungs are delicate and hard to repair. Over the past 300 years or so, advancements in chemistry and industry have continuously caused us to learn this fact the hard way. In fact, we have used tons of chemicals before knowing the myriad of ways these nifty potions turn our bodies into toxic goo. Most of the time, we can’t even see it happening.

Those glass fibers of dust you see in the attic, basement, or from drop ceilings  floating around are going to end up in your nose and mouth.  There is no chance of coughing up glass fibers since they stick like micro-sized needles and can be carcinogenic.

If you install CCTV systems, take my advice and spend a few dollars on a mask.  Make it a standard policy for yourself, and don’t wait for the company to make it a requirement.  That last breath you took in might just show up on your chest x-ray in ten years.

UFO + Growing CCTV Market = Disclosure?

One topic of discussion in the UFO community revolves around the possible imminent disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence to the world. The news is full of examples: the Vatican announces how extraterrestrial life will have no effect upon the faith, prominent politicians make cryptic remarks involving extraterrestrial life, “secret” government files involving UFOs are becoming more prolific, and educated people are becoming more open to the possibility that ET life is visiting this planet.
With the expansion and explosion of information gathering devices such as cell phone cameras, portable digital cameras, and CCTV systems, the common citizen not only has easy access into information on the subject, but also has the capacity to add to the already burgeoning amount of evidence supporting the presence of extraterrestrial visitation.

Despite the government’s churlishness and refusal to share publicly their work on extraterrestrial matters, public dissemination concerning ET matters is occurring nevertheless. Britian’s Ministry of Defense has already come out and made remarks on what they have kept secret for years, and everyone is waiting on the U.S. government to also make such a statement, but that is not likely to happen in the near future. But the truth will be harder to hide as more and more public and private camera systems become part of the landscape.
