Our boy is turning Amish

The more and more my son hangs out with our Amish neighbors the more and more he becomes Amish himself as you can see in the photo above.

Learn to Speed Read

Over the last several months while reading through emails or articles with my wife, I noticed that either I was a really slow reader or she was a really fast reader…

This makes sense with her being an “English” type and me being a “numbers” kind of guy. Well anyway, I know this is an area that I can improve in and found this interesting article on how to get started with teaching yourself to speed read.

Pretty soon I’ll be the one twiddling my thumbs while waiting to flip the page or scroll down the screen

Do It Now!

I recently listened to an audio book titled:
“DOING IT NOW: How To Cure Procrastination And Achieve Your Goals In Twelve Easy Steps”

I thought it was a good read although some of the skits within it were kind of cheezy (but funny).

It talks about several ways to cure laziness and procrastination, as well as ways to set goals, priorities and improve time management.

Some of the things that I put into practice from this book were:

• If you don’t feel like doing something that needs to get done at the end of the day when you’re tired, try doing it for at least 5 minutes. (A lot of times you will find energy reserves or renewed motivation once you start.)
• Clear CLUTTER from your life.
  Get rid of messy desks or unnecessary clutter around your house. This creates an “Action Environment” where things are organized efficiently and everything has its own place.
• Write down your goals, review them frequently and share them with significant others so you have some accountability.
• Create a 2 Do list or (Priority List) where you divide your tasks into several different “buckets”.
  e.g. My different buckets are: Family/Friends, Work, Self, House and Dreams.
• Try to handle documents or mail only once. (Do it, Delegate it or Ditch it)

Missing Plant!

While “Plant Sitting” for my co-worker I ran into a small problem….
See the company wide email I sent below

Hello All,

This week I was asked to take care of my cube neighbor’s (Dave R’s) plant.

I placed this plant on the window sill in Jon S’s old office (Next to Matt D’s office) in an effort to give it more sunlight and nurse it back to health. I’m assuming that someone thought this plant was up for grabs and took it (hopefully it wasn’t used as a Christmas gift).

No problem…. if you can just return it to it’s original spot so it can get some sunlight this weekend that would be great. In addition I may even get the “Plant Sitter of 2005″ award.

Thx!

ps. It kind of looked like this photo attached (projected growth after 2 days)

A Fresh Start

Hello All,
Welcome to my new “Curry” blog.

Not sure how much time I will have to update this but I figured you all can visit it if you are bored. Not sure what content I will have on this blog… I foresee it being quite random. Serious stuff and funny photos etc.

Enjoy,
Jammin
