“Isn't it
interesting that people feel
best about themselves right
before they go on vacation?
They've cleared up all of their
to-do piles, closed up
transactions, and renewed old
promises with themselves. ”

Dear Glenn,
You seem to be pretty negative
about Facebook. May I ask why?
Kathy in
New Hampshire
Dear Kathy,
I use Facebook for business and personal
applications, but limit the time I spend on it.
Some users - especially younger ones - update their
Facebook pages over 20 times a day.
The danger is far more serious than just the amount of
time they spend.
It's the isolation from physical social interaction,
which research has suggested can increase the risk
of health problems from schizophrenia to
cancer.
As Paul Harvey used to say, "All things in moderation".
Thanks
for your question.
Glenn in Nashville, TN

People sometimes accuse me of being a workaholic, but I'm far
from it.
When I'm not traveling, I usually
leave my office at 4:00 o'clock every day, and rarely work on the weekends.
But there have been times when I
worked 7 days a week, 17 hours a days, because that's what the
job required at the time.
The problem with workaholics is not that they work such long
hours.
Working long hours for a period of time, for a specific
goal, is called focus. It's the only way to achieve anything worthwhile in life.
The problem with workaholics is
that they work incessantly, with no end in sight, and are often
less productive than those who work fewer hours.
If you've ever felt like you work too much and the only light you see
at the end of the tunnel is that of an oncoming train, one of
the simplest things you can do is plan a vacation.
It doesn’t have to be an exotic destination, but simply
planning a vacation now - even if it's not for months to
come - can provide immediate benefits.
The mere anticipation will reduce your stress level and improve
just about everything else in your life.
Last January when it seemed like the snow would never
end, and
my beautiful bride and I were getting a bad case of the Winter
Blahs, we booked a trip to the Bahamas.
It's not until July 4th, but we
immediately started renting movies filmed there, reading restaurant reviews, and
learning about the Bahamian culture, since I've never been.
It's still three months away, but
we're already reaping the benefits.
If you haven't planned a vacation this year, this a great
time to do it, now that winter is over.
Even if your budget is tight, there
are plenty of great day trips anyone can take.
We drive two hours from our home in Nashville to go white water
rafting near Chattanooga each summer, and are always amazed at
how that one day feels like a vacation.
Both
employer and employee benefit when people work hard and give
100%. But both lose when people burn out.
There's a time to work, and a time to recharge your batteries.
Make
sure all of your team members take time to recharge their
batteries. It could be the most
motivational thing you do for them all year.
