The other night someone asked me how I managed to get all the things done that I do. Because I know how much more I want to get done and could get done, it usually surprises me when someone thinks I’ve done a lot.

Many people love and live by their “to do” lists. I happen to be one of them. But the truth of the matter is, that oftentimes I don’t do what’s on my list, I do other things and then add them to my list so that I can cross them off with a mightly stroke […]
During a presentation I gave yesterday morning, I shared the story of a luau-based celebration that took place where I work. The food was amazing and they had some luau inspired games for employees to participate in. One of the games was the limbo.
