Atricle Dump - Achieving a State of 'Flow' at Work
Do you have more purchase orders than what you can handle? Is lack of financing preventing you from fulfilling those orders? One of the most frustrating things that can happen to a business owner is to turn orders away – good orders – because you don’t have the financial capacity to fulfill them.Of course, you can try to get a business loan. However, business loans have their limitations as business financing tools. They are hard to get and have arbitrary limits, so they don’t grow with your business.Wouldn’t it be great to have a business financing tool that could handle all your supplier payments – provided you had purchase orders from g

We've all had them, those poorly illustrated guides to putting a retail product together or instructions on how to use a new piece of electronic equipment. What gives? For those of us who are mechanically challenged, this can be really frustrating. The world of electronics holds a special frustration for many, such as setting up a piece of computer equipment, for example. Once learned, they are usually not that bad, but it just takes getting used to.My new printer came today. Once again, I dropped everything to figure out how to set it up. What a job. Programming things is definitely not my strongpoint. It is good there's nobody watching when I'm
Contrast that with a time you were so immersed in an activity that time just stood still? Your stomach suddenly growls, and you look up at the clock to discover you worked right over your lunch hour and didn’t notice! You were totally immersed in what you were experiencing or doing. What are the benefits of this extreme focus?
• Output is increased. You simply get more done when you are 100% attuned to your task. You’ll get more letters written and more projects completed
• You perform optimally and do your best work. If you are giving your total attention to something, the quality will be better. Isaac Newton said, “If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention than to any other talent.”
• The time invested in projects is decreased. If you don’t feel like doing something in the first place (like paying bills), wouldn’t you rather have it over in an hour instead of stretching it out over three?
• Less rework. Your focus reduces the time it would have taken you to correct the mistakes and omissions that are a byproduct of inattention.
• Peace of mind is enhanced. There is an old legend about a man who travels the world searching for the meaning of life. One day he climbs a high mountain to a monastery to get the advice of a monk who is reputed to be the wisest man on earth. When asked for the secret to happiness, the monk replies simply, “DO whatever you’re doing.”

Discounted conference calling rates are easy to find by just searching on the Internet. Many resources are available for companies looking to conference calling rates. Once a discounted conference calling service has been found, it is important to check all of the rate information to make sure that the conference calls being held qualify for the discount. The rate that is stated in most cases on a web site home page is usually already a discounted calling rate.In most cases though, that rate is available only without the use of certain services. Other restrictions may apply. For example, some companies require that a reservation be made a c

After hearing Daniel Pink speak about his new book A Whole New Mind: Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age for the fourth time, I finally read it cover to cover (less than a day). I finally got what he's talking about when he says jobs that are high touch are here to stay. That is, jobs that builds relationships between business and client whether it's B2B or B2C. To that end, he advocates that we incorporate more storytelling into our relationships, that we make a point with a story, not just facts which everyone knows they need but still find boring. The reason is that stories are easier to remember. He goes on to list some of our cont

Are you one of those people who have a fascination with power tools but no knowledge or time to use them? Do people ask to borrow a tool from you or ask if you know of someone who has a special piece? If so, you can make money off those tools just lying around.Did you know it can cost thousands of dollars to buy all the different type of power tools, and many of those tools you may only use a couple of times? Well, now just imagine having to spend anywhere from twenty dollars to easily a hundred dollars to rent one tool. Think of what it cost to buy your tool, and now divide that in half, this should be the cost of a deposit. Then take the c

?? Proper environmental conditions (temperature, smells, noise)

How do you achieve this wonderful state of flow and become fully present-focused?
• Master your job. Research shows that your ability to experience flow is related to your mastery of the mechanics of your job. The more unfamiliar you are with your work, the harder it is to achieve. Just as learning to drive was at first a conscious behavior, when mastered, it became subconscious. If you’re on a learning curve in a new activity, it will be harder to achieve intense focus. The more you learn the job, the better your ability to concentrate and “let go.”
• Prepare for and expect to achieve focus. Set your mind properly. Consciously, willfully decide that you are going to concentrate. Have a positive attitude going into the task. Prepare your materials in advance of getting started and have what you need at your fingertips.
• Clear your desk. Do your piles talk to you? “Do me!” “Don’t forget me!” Clutter can be psychologically distracting. You will focus better on what’s in front of you if you don’t have ten other things surrounding you. Clear the piles, so everything is out of your line of sight except the single thing you’re working on.
• Set aside some time. Estimate how long the task will take and schedule an appointment with yourself on your calendar. Total absorption is very relaxing. It’s splitting your attention—between what you’re currently doing and what you have to do next—that’s exhausting. When you beco
