Tony Schwartz, New York Times Best Selling author of the book The Power of Full Engagement, says: "By checking your e-mail first, you effectively turn over your agenda to others. It is far better to decide what your agenda ought to be the night before and make that the first thing you focus on at work, without interruption, for up to 90 minutes." "If you must check e-mail when you get up because there are urgent messages, scan quickly for anything that truly cannot wait an hour. Answer those, ignore the rest, and then do what’s truly most important."

And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. Romans 4:19–21

The key to out producing everyone around you Peyton time? Have a map. Set goals and get in the habit of becoming a goal achiever. Paraphrase of Darren Hardy , publisher of Success Magazine.

Eric Standlee June 02, 2014 at 08:15AM

Believe for God's blessings and favor. You must expect God to turn things around. You need to dig up your stakes, pack up, and move out of the land of discouragement. Set camp in the land of believers, people of faith. Surround yourself with those who inspire and encourage you.

Office 365 subscription? LibreOffice? Open Office? Google Docs?

I am a recovering geek. I don't own nor operate any IT services companies right now. However I am buying them.

Having said that, I cannot figure out the business case to use Office 365 over LibreOffice or Open Office or Google Drive.

Personally, I use Google Drive almost exclusively. I pay for more storage, but I like the cross-platform support and collaboration.

Why pay for inferior service?

Thoughts?
