For many of us, the struggle of this time of year is to maintain the momentum we had in January and keep it going all year in terms of productivity. With that in mind, I want to take a little time today to walk through ten things I try to do and think about when looking to maintain or increase my productivity.

As the energy of new year’s resolutions starts to fade I’m sure that you, like me, are starting to get a little daunted by all of the things that you want to accomplish this year. But, rather than giving up, I think this is a good time to take a moment and come up with some strategies that will help up stay on track. Here are ten of mine, and I hope that at least some of the mare of use to you as well.

I’ve never been late to work or class in...

As the Tokyo summer Olympics approach, we thought it would be fun to take a look at the most successful Olympian of all time: American swimmer Michael Phelps. He’s competed in 5 Olympic games over the course of his career, starting at the young age of 15 in Sydney, Australia. While he didn’t win any medals in Sydney, he more than made up for it in the next 4 Olympics, winning 28 total medals. Out of those 28 medals, 23 of them are Gold, and 13 of those gold medals are for individual events...

Relationships are the foundation of our lives. Whether it’s work, family, romance or the building of community, it’s all about relationships between human beings.
