Revolution Me

If You Really Love Me, Tell Me Tomorrow

Vibrant, Vital and Valued

I recently picked up The Time Paradox by Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd.  It has been an fascinating read that builds nicely on the theme of the last India Journal: We’re Not In Kansas Anymore and explores our attitudes about time.

The Life Changing Project

Multiply Your Time with 4th Dimension Time Management

Most time management systems emphasize creating, categorizing, and prioritizing lists and getting them done.

You are left with a sense of...

It’s All in How You Frame it, isn’t it Faux News?

An interesting pseudo interview by right-wing Scientologist and whack job Greta Van Susteren.

The Secret to a Glowing Complexion at any Age!

Gin Rummy

The Unpopular View of Leadership
