Top Ten Ways to Manage Interruptions
So many people I worked with said they got more work done at home than in the office. That was because there were so many interruptions in the office. In fact lots of people come in early or stay late just to have quiet time to work. One way to have that same quiet time during the day is to manage interruptions. Look for ways to create a “Power hour” of work time. Maybe this will allow you to get home earlier!

Ten Locations for Quiet Reflection for Busy Professionals
Increasingly we are all busy with our lives and we work at a hectic pace. Finding ways and times to just be quiet and contemplative is difficult. I know that I have to consciously carve out some time in my day for reflection and rest.

Finding An Entrepreneurial Lifeline In A Life Of Quiet Desperation

The Desperation Solution
You have probably heard it said that necessity is the mother of invention. If necessity is its mother, desperation must certainly have been its father. Creative people often come up with breakthrough solutions only when they're forced to. Professors from the University of Chicago and Harvard determined that there is direct correlation between when unemployment runs out and when people get a job.

I believe there is a win/win solution here as you and I-as mature, functioning people-can set our own deadlines.

For many people the holidays are the saddest time of the year. The holidays are meant to be a time of joy, warmth, excitement and anticipation of the year ahead, and for some people this is indeed the case. But many of us live most of the time with unresolved conflicts, loneliness, a need to be understood and loved-and the holidays only serve to exacerbate our private feelings of quiet desperation. Some of the problems and emotions, which we hold in check during most months of the year, tend to surface during the holidays.

FEAR: Overcoming The Single Biggest Factor That Holds People Back
Fear can trap us in lives of quiet desperation that leave us thirsty for purpose, hungry for depth and disconnected from the unique potential that lies within us. New studies in brain plasticity have proven that by doing what scares us, we can build our 'courage muscles' and take our careers, relationships and lives to new levels of success. It ultimately comes down to making a courageous choice.
