567 Distraction Kills Productivity by Leigh Martinuzzi

Distraction Kills Productivity

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” Steve Jobs

The noise of the external world is muting the sound of the internal world, and therefore our intuition pays the price.What moments do we have in the day to connect internally? How much time do we give to listen to our internal voice? What is consuming our attention and why?

I think you’ll get the same feeling when reading this book on how to break the cheese addiction and escape the “Cheese Trap.”

Neal Barnard is an adjunct associate professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. (more…)

563 Minimalism – Fact or Fiction by Leigh Martinuzzi

Minimalism -Fact or Fiction

“There are two ways to be rich: One is by acquiring much, and the other is by desiring little.” Jackie French Koller

I’d also agree that there is a lot of hocus-pocus going around, making it a little bit trendy. For this reason, I recorded this episode to share my thoughts on whether minimalism is fact or fiction. Let me know what you think and enjoy!
