Rhys Keller — Fri, 06 Jan 2023 12:19:26 +0000

Odds are you have a daily to-do list. Nearly everyone on the planet does. How are you at accomplishing your to-do tasks? Do you get most or all of them done? What about the higher priority items? Do you know which to-do items are most important for your day, week, or month to be a success? While we all want to be more successful, and often try to be more successful, sometimes we hold ourselves back in our commitment. And this commitment is what separates people into two camps: those who write their to-do lists down, and those who don't. You will be more successful, productive, and satisfied in life when you unlock the secret power of to-do lists. It's so easy anyone can do it!

Maximizing Our Most Valuable Asset – Time

Rhys Keller — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 18:18:38 +0000

Try all we want, no one has cracked the code of getting more time on this side of heaven. Even with trendy crops of futurists throwing money to the wind, the average life span is roughly 78 years. While much improved from 35 years in the 1700's, it's still a far cry from the biblical Methuselah who had 969 years to leave a lasting legacy. Birth has even been compared to the beginning of death. A bit morbid, but true. With such a short supply of time for all of us, it's more important than ever we make our time count. Here are some big ideas to help each of us treat time like the valuable asset it is.

Most Twitter users are unhappy with the level of engagement they receive. Likes, retweets, comments, and follower counts are all far lower than hoped for. Can you relate? If so, you're not alone.
