Shortening Loading Times


 It seems to me that the time between us wanting to achieve something and actually doing the project is something like a load time. It's the time for us to switch mentally and physically into the new/next task. And at least for me this "Load Time" can be anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. But why?

Well in computers the load time is the time between submitting a request or clicking a link and the time that it takes for that task to fully load or appear.  And just like computers if we have multiple other programs running at the same time, our load time will drag due to the amount of information that our RAM is trying to process.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Well it means that if you want to jump into a task more quickly and efficiently, then you must close out the other programs. 

So turn off the TV. Put down your phone. Stand up. 

You will increase the amount of time in your day because we don't even realize how much "load time" is really spent. Because in your mind you are onto the next task but in reality your just letting your precious time tick away. 

Sometimes we'll wait till the very last minute like lying in bed until you absolutely have to get up or sitting on the couch until you literally need to run out of the door. But this is a huge waste of time that often we are not even enjoying. We are instead loading the next task but slowly. 

So stand up. Turn off the distraction and move into the next task. This will allow you load more quickly.

Open Opportunity

Opportunity is freedom. The freedom to choose. The freedom to have options. The freedom to look at possibilities and select what best fits your needs and wants. The cereal aisle is the perfect example of open opportunity. You can ask yourself. Do I want fruity or do I want oats? Do I want honey or do I want chocolate? Do I want a small box or a big box? Do I want name brands or do I want the value brand?   The analogy of the cereal aisle as a representation of open opportunity beautifully captures the essence of freedom of choice and the ability to explore possibilities. A neat and organized collection of choices all in one place that show their cost, their size and their contents upfront. Yes, this is opportunity at its most simplest form but it is the truest example of open opportunity. It's not merely about selecting a cereal; it's about making decisions that define our preferences and aspirations. This, in essence, is the heart of opportunity, the freedom to navigate throu...

Opportunities Take Courage

Image
In the pursuit of our dreams, thoughts, or ideas, it's often natural to feel a sense of vulnerability. Sharing these aspirations can be awkward, driven by the fear of judgment or criticism. The concern that others might dismiss or find fault in our dreams can be paralyzing, causing us to keep them hidden within ourselves. However, this reluctance to share our ideas can hinder their growth and potential impact on the world. Similar to nurturing a child, we need to give our ideas the strength to stand on their own. This involves not only developing the idea itself but also building the courage to present it to the world. Like children need exposure to the challenges of the world to grow and thrive, our ideas need to be shared, discussed, and refined to reach their full potential.   The fear of judgment is a common barrier to sharing our dreams, whether with friends, family, or even strangers. Yet, this fear must be overcome if we are to progress and grow. It's essential to recog...

Attention Creation

Image
I watched a video the other day that said attention is the newest form of currency.  That grabbing someone else’s attention was worth more than money or your time because you were capturing “Their” time.  And then I walked into a grocery store. Upon entering the grocery store, I encountered vibrant displays of beers in display in the fridge. The array of colors, diverse packaging, and assorted characters, each with artistic and sometimes abstract elements, had my attention. I stood looking over the selection. It was then that it struck me that every detail was meticulously designed, all in a collective effort to vie for my attention with the ultimate goal of enticing me to make a purchase.  As I walked through the store towards the counter I looked at the bags of chips. They were lined up the same way. The meats in the butcher's display were all lined up in the window for me to see. Everything was vying for my attention.  For the attention of their audience. But this...
