Ok, so that clearly does not work well for you! I like the liquorice idea.

I actually think this chocolate squares idea works pretty well. I keep a hershey bar at the desk and I break it into its little squares. If I start having day dreams about any of the thousands of options in the break room, I eat one of the little squares - very slowly - and follow that up with a ton of water. That…

I am a fan of my Saddle Back Leather wallet. It’s pricey, but awesome. Even better, it was a gift.  http://www.saddlebackleather.com/front-pocket-id-wallet

Ok, this is just freaking awesome!

Successful people are usually more familiar with failure. They just don’t let failures stop them from carrying on. I have managed to be successful at a few things, and every single one of those journeys is marked with numerous failures along the way. In those really rare instances where I managed to achieve success…

It is funny the kind of basic things that can derail your process. I recently interviewed a candidate and I could not get past how wrinkled his shirt was. Don’t get me wrong here. I am not some sort of clothing prude. We dress very casually where I am - as I write this I am in shorts, sneakers and a beat up old polo…

I got one of these a few years ago. Its pretty awesome and I love that the cooking plates are reversible - grill on one side, flat on the other. There does seem to be a *slight* heat imbalance between the top and bottom, but it’s not horrible. At this price, pretty hard to complain.

I can see where that might work for you. I tell you what tho, the first time someone realizes they don’t have the dongle with them or the bluetooth ear pods, frustration will set in and they will realize the utility of the headphone jack.

Nope. I will be skipping this one. Frankly, the headphone jack is a big one for me. I want options and the odds that the little pig tail adapter for a headphone jack will get lost in short order is pretty high.

So, yeah. Having no debt is great. However, I like to live a life full of options - including the option to qualify to get a mortgage. The bottom line is that you can have a mostly debt free life and still improve your credit. Just pay those credit cards off at the end of each month. I buy as much as I can using my…

So, does anyone remember that System 7 for the Mac had real time collaboration as one of its features? It was pulled out in a later version but I think it is funny that we are just now seeing a feature that was already there in the early 1990's.

It is just a generally good idea to keep your freezer stocked with stuff. In addition to keeping things frozen when the power goes out, it means you always have a backup of stuff to eat if needed. Just stay on a sort of rotating schedule of pulling stuff out each week and consuming it then replenishing. For this to…

Unless you have decided you don’t want the job of course. I recall an interview I was in where about 5 minutes in it became painfully clear I did not want to work for the guy in charge. He was a complete ass and I decided I would rather live in a van down by the river than work for him - or put up with any more of his…

I have taken quite a few different socks out for a test drive so to speak. I have found that ones that are specifically designed for the right and left foot and that have different levels of padding and tightness in different areas of the foot keep things most comfortable for the longest time. The under armour…

Sometimes, what you learn is that you completely screwed it up. Avoiding self-criticism is the surest way to avoid a level of introspection that can inspire positive change.

I actually could not disagree more. In fact, when someone asks how to start committing to losing weight, I suggest weighing daily. However, you don’t obsess over that daily amount. I use a phone app to track it and I am looking for the trend, not the day to day weight. However, that process of taking my weight daily…

Never played Skyrim. Now I want to.

Totally looking for guys bashing two halves of a coconut together. Just sayin’

So the Fallout franchise is one of the few things were my fan boy flag just... well... won’t stop waving. I don’t even know what the collectors edition is going to cost and I already know I am going to buy it. It is like my kryptonite against rational thought.

Shut up and climb aboard.
