True Friendship

My daughter wore a yellow stripped shirt today and forgot to pack a blue one for her school dance performance and when I arrived for it, her best friend was wearing an orange shirt, which was purposeful (she had a blue shirt to change into) so my daughter wouldn't feel bad and I realized that I was witnessing an act of "true friendship" and the girls would be friends forever.

Procrastination isn't my thing.....

My daughter has a project due tomorrow and all weekend and last night I told her to start work on it since we have a family dinner tonight and she said there would be time to work on it at school and then last night she tried to get out of the dinner due to the assignment and I said no way because I am a productivity coach and procrastination makes my brain spin (especially when it is used as an excuse not to honor commitments).

(She called me mean in the end and I said, "Ok.")

Old school VS. New school

Today, I was asked to send a contact a calendar invite to our meeting and I had to for the first time use Google calendar, since I am old school and still use a paper calendar and now, it has me thinking that maybe I should go to a new school soon.

I received this yesterday... Makes you think....

Business Norm......Ditch the standard

Today I decided to file away the business cards I had collected over the years through networking, doctor's visits and a love of beads, but when doing so I noticed several had to be trimmed (too tall) to fit in the protector page which assumes each card is a standard 2" X 3.5 " and I realized in the age of technology and flash graphics on websites, the business card is yet another way to standout especially when you do a size that is not the standard and so in my opinion business is going the way of standing out and not fitting into the standard.

(P.S. One of my favorite business cards came from a financial planner whose card was 2" X 1.25" and said on the front, "The lack of orders from you has made this economy size card necessary.")
