10 by 10 on Tuesdays

This week’s quick list* is a companion piece to our Quote of the Week on Improving the World

So much to do.  So much we could do.  Where do we start?  When the weight of the world is on our shoulders, we often do nothing or go round in circles.

Or we think the problem is so big and our influence so small that whatever we may do will make no difference. And so – we do nothing.

The weight of the world keeps us from doing anything.  Except perhaps beating ourselves up.

This week’s quote reminds us that we may be making it too difficult.  That we really don’t need to wait another moment before starting to improve the world – for others and ourselves.

Here are 10 things we can do now to improve the world.  Ways to boost morale and productivity so that we and those around us can feel more on top of the world instead of feeling weighed down by it. Read more

10 Ways to Build a Positive Atmosphere

10 by 10 on TuesdaysThis week’s quick list* is a companion piece to our Quote of the Week for Heart Month: Energy flows where attention goes.

There is so much negative talk out there – on talk radio, television, twitter.

I’m not sure where it started, but it’s spreading. In epidemic proportions.

Is it infected your organization?

Can you believe what he said? Can you believe what she did? Can you believe the way he just looked at me? Did you see the way she just put her pen on the table?

Strong leaders recognize and know how to break negative energy cycles. They also know how to prevent them. It’s all about strong, consistent attention on the positive. Positive thoughts. Positive feelings. Positive results. Here are 10 ways to break and prevent negative energy cycles from taking over your mind, your home and/or your office – and build a culture of positive energy instead. Read more

10 Times to Get Off the Path

10 by 10 on Tuesdays

This week’s Quick List is a companion piece to our Quote of the Week: On Paths & Trails which is a perfect segue from last week’s Quote of the Week for MLK Day.  Dr. King didn’t like the path we were on – didn’t like where it was leading.  He had a dream of something different and better.  And so he got off the path.  And he left a trail.

There are certainly times that it is more efficient, more logical to follow a path that’s already in place.  And then there are other times….

Yesterday we asked the question:  “When do you think it’s a good idea to get off the current path to forge a new trail?”

And we promised to post a few ideas on this in:   “10 Times To Get Off the Path”.
