Adversity Can Teach You Time Management

How well are you managing the time in your business? I know this isn't the most interesting topic in the world, but over the past 2 days, I've noticed something rather interesting. Now that I am back in school, taking 3 college course, I've been able to get more work done, in a lesser amount of time than when I wasn't in school. Not only am I getting things done more quickly, but I also have more time in my day to lounge around.

Prior to school starting up, all I had to do was lift weights and Internet Marketing, which would normally take me an entire day to do.

• This usually meant writing a couples articles a day.
• Doing some offsite marketing,
• And maybe making a video or two.

Now that I'm in school, I'm doing the same amount of work, but finishing in less time.

• I'm doing Internet Marketing,
• Lifting weights,
• And again, am now taking 3 college courses.

Yet, if I look at the clock right now, as I'm writing, it's only 9:37 AM. I've already written a blog post, am working on this article, and my bet is, by 10:30 AM, I'll be completely done with my Internet Marketing work for the day.

Something that usually takes me all day, I've managed to complete in approximately 2.5 hours. From 8:00 AM, which is when I went to the gym, to 10:30 AM, which is when I'm estimated to finish all of my work.

The reason why I'm telling you this is because I've noticed that in times of adversity; In times where it seems like there would be no way for me to get all of my work done, I somehow manage to make it happen. Lately, I've managed to not only make it happen, but I've managed to get more work done more quickly than when I had less work.

1. Right now, I want you to sit down, and I want you to prioritize.
2. I want you to setup a time box.
3. How long should it take you to complete each task?
4. If you were on a time crunch, could you complete a task that much more quickly?

If you're like me, you will find a way to complete more work in less time. Had I known this back in the summer, I would have enjoyed it that much more, by putting myself out there. Now that I know what I know, I don't see myself ever going back to the way things were before.

Romney Needs To Articulate His Plans For Dealing With Interest On Our Debt

ell us how you are going to deal with the interest on our debt ballooning once you and a Republican Congress start peel back the layers of liberalism that are strangling America

---

So, here we are.? It is four years after ?Hope and Change?.? That slogan proved to only be more psychobabble from a babbling fool who rode the saying right into the White House.

And here we are with Romney, as bad as he is, but still much better than Obama, struggling to overtake the Messiah in the polls.? Yes, I know most of those polls are oversampling Democrats by seven to ten percent.

The economy is struggling.? As a result, interest rates have been kept artificially low to prevent the United States? debt situation from blowing up.? This has been done for one reason and one reason only: to keep President Obama from looking like the complete nincompoop that he is.? And that?s it isn?t it?? That?s the big, old elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about: what happens when things turn around and we no longer have cheap money?

Right now, thanks to cheap money and low interest rates, payments on the debt of the United States for FY2011 were $454.4 billion [1].? The gross federal debt at the time was $14.8 trillion.? That?s a rate of just 3%.

• In 2008 we paid $451 billion on $10 trillion in debt for a rate of 4.5% [2].
• In 2003 we paid $318 billion on $6.7 trillion in debt for a rate of 4.7%.
• In 1994 [3] we paid $296 billion on $4.7 trillion in debt for a rate of 6.3%.

So, we see that in better times, people demand more return on their investment.? We, as a nation, have to pay a higher rate to get people to buy our debt in the good times.? What?s worse is that as buying our debt becomes riskier, people get uppity and demand more return for greater risk.? We are over 100% debt to GDP ratio right now.? Want to know how hard it is to get people to keep buying debt with that sort of a relationship?? Just ask Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Italy.

Something that I have not heard Mitt Romney utter a single word about is what he is going to do, not if, but when we are required to start paying people more to take on our debt.? I know he talks about cutting federal spending.? But the fact is that if he cuts $1 trillion from our yearly spending, that only prevents us from adding to the debt we already owe.? In order to reduce the debt, deeper cuts are in order.? And no plan I have seen out of the Romney/Ryan camp comes even close to cutting $1 trillion for a fiscal year.

Realizing that Mitt is going to continue deficit spending for the foreseeable future, our debt load is going to increase.? When the economy heats up, investors will demand more and the interest rate on our debt jumps.? Where?s that extra money going to come from?

Paying interest on trillions of dollars is a lot of money.? I know Mitt knows it.? I know Obama doesn?t have a clue about such things.? So what?s the plan?? Where do we get the dollars?? Obama?s philosophy is to abuse our children, print more money, and tell them to work harder for less.

Any plans Mitt?? Want to share them with us?

Look, I know it is scary to talk about this stuff.? But it needs to be talked about.? When America starts to recover, we are going to have to deal with real world economics once again.

And Mitt, if you want to be taken seriously as the adult in the room, God knows Obama can?t be, then you need to spell it out.? Tell us how you are going to deal with the interest on our debt ballooning once you and a Republican Congress start peel back the layers of liberalism that are strangling America, but not cutting to the point where we are no longer spending like drunken sailors.? We all know you aren?t willing to go all the way and do what really needs done.

I know the standard line Mitt likes to throw out there.? He talks about how we can ?grow? our way out of our debt problem.? But the kind of debt we are dealing with requires more than ?growth?.? It requires sacred cows to be carved up and sacrificed for the good of this Republic.? Because not only is continuing to spend more than we have a problem, figuring out how to pay back the interest on that money is going to be one Hell of a feat in itself.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Arnold Schwarzenegger is confirming that he had a "hot affair" with actress Brigitte Nielsen at a time he and Maria Shriver were dating and already living together.

Schwarzenegger and Nielsen co-starred in the 1985 film "Red Sonja." Nielsen write in a memoir published last year that she and Schwarzenegger had an "outrageous affair" while making the movie and that she did know until later that he was involved with Shriver.

In his memoir "Total Recall," coming out Monday, Schwarzenegger writes that he and Nielsen did indeed have a "hot affair," but he knew it wouldn't last. In fact, their "fling" only made him realize that he wanted to marry Shriver.

Nielsen would soon marry Schwarzenegger's fellow action star, Sylvester Stallone.

Union asks NFL owners to end officials lockout

NEW YORK (AP) ? The NFL players' union has sent an open letter to team owners calling on the league to end the lockout of on-field officials.

The players hint that the lockout could violate the collective bargaining agreement that ended their own lockout last year, citing a lack of a safe working environment.

Domonique Foxworth, president of the NFL Players Association, Drew Brees and Scott Fujita are among the union members who signed the letter. They tell the owners that the lockout "has led to a deterioration of order, safety and integrity."

They also ask why Commissioner Roger Goodell issues suspensions and fines "in the name of player health and safety" while the regular officials the league entrusts to maintain health and safety are locked out.

Fantasy football in the future of online gaming ... - Review PC Software

So something I wanted to talk about today which caught my eye is the online game of fantasy football. More then that how people are also using mock drafts in fantasy football a lot as well it seems. Now I?ll admit I wasn?t fully aware of all of this myself so I decided to dig into it a little bit. In case you?re wondering what fantasy football is exactly what the name says.

It?s all online based where you get to set up, run, manage and play your own football team against other teams. I guess the amount of time people are putting into it is really picking up now with football season coming up. While I had known about this form of entertainment for a while I hadn?t really looked into it until recently. One of the things that got me interested was the fact that at work (I work at a place with computers all day. Go figure, lol) I always noticed that whenever he had the chance one of my co-workers would be on such a site. On top of that he was always doing research of all kinds. Reading up about players, their records, how they were expected to perform. It?s actually interesting.

The game basically uses some complicated system to determine things such as how good a player is, how much they improve for the fantasy season, how well your team does against others and such. I looked and tested it out a little bit myself. Not being a huge sports fanatic (despite the fact I live in Ohio, lol) I doubt I was nearly as skilled as he was, lol. Regardless it was interesting though. I found there?s a lot of useful information I got from him, the internet, forums and other places on how to sharpen your skills on it. The most interesting part he told me is that right now he was playing for free and had done that for the last three seasons. But apparently you can play for real money. He said if he does good this season he?s going to personally begin playing for some real cash as well. While I don?t see myself being that good for a while that sounds pretty cool to say the least.

There?s a ton of sites out there for fantasy sports and the one he was using (which I decided to check out) was fan duel.?It seems to be one of the more popular sites and has a ton of sports as well. In case you?re wondering the betting portion is completely legal. I was curios myself just in case I ever get food enough at this to play for money. Apparently it?s all legal since this is considered to be a game of skill and not chance so the government is fine with this. I guess for practice in predicting things one thing a lot of people will do is play three section first and also try out mock drafts at sites like fantasy football calculator.?I can say that personally I?m not a big sports fan but I love strategy. I?ve always excelled at real time strategy, RPGs, chess, checkers, pretty much any game that makes you think. There?s a ton of detail to these games so I can see why doing this would appeal to people. So even if you?re not ready to start winning money I definitely suggest to check this out right now, try it, play it, let me know what you think. Then you can brag to all of your friends about your fantasy football team which you personally put together.
