I love accents that are blatantly cocky and full of themselves. The lamps, clocks, posters, and desk accessories that try to upstage even the slickest desk and most overpriced chair. The gorgeous Kosmic Round Designer Table Clock Desk Clock is a perfect example. While it certainly costs less than office furniture (unless you snag a chair at Big’s or Goodwill), it stands out with its classy good looks and steals every other piece’s thunder. The elegant beauty is 18 inch in diameter x 24 inch in height. The face of the working clock is 6 inches and is attached to a solid resin base. Click the link or the image for a closer look and grab your own scene stealer while the price is less than $45.

I love myself some Clint Eastwood. I have ever since I walked through the living room as a pre-teen and my dad had on a western. After one look at the television, I plopped sideways in my favorite chair and watched every single second. I was hooked on the eyes, the hair, the swagger, the voice the drama… yeah, that’s it, I was hooked on the drama.
So much so that watching westerns with my dad became a favorite thing for me to do. The thing is, daddy thought it was all westerns I that I loved, so he’d call out, “Joi! Grab you a Dr. Pepper and get ready… this is a good one.” To dad, every western was a good one. I never let him in on the secret that westerns with Clint Eastwood in them were the good ones – I simply watched each and every one he ever had on. We had a lot of great Sunday afternoons, with or without Mr. Eastwood.
The dramatic and gorgeous Wall mural above is just the thing to let everyone around you know that…

We Kentuckians have four seasons just like everyone else:
College Basketball Season
Post-College Basketball Season
Catch Your Breath Season (lasts an average of 3-1/2 days)
Pre-College Basketball Season
So, yeah, college basketball is pretty much always on our mind. During the first season of the year (#1 if you were paying attention), our stores and malls are covered with blue-clad fanatics. Every now and then there’ll be a University of Louisville fan. Brave, brave souls. They look like little cherry lifesavers in a blue ocean.
There are, I assume other college basketball teams available – I suppose you could click through and see. I’m not sure why you’d want to support a Non-Callipari led team, but whatevs.

If the husband is going to keep listening to these business-y smisnessy podcasts and videos online, he’s going to have to take his show on the road. Doesn’t he know that in the evening I have urgent matters to tend to online and find his seo, social marketing, podcasting mumbo jumbo distracting.
How can I concentrate on Oprah’s tweets with all that in my ear? Come on, there’s something decidedly un-American about interfering with Lady O.
I figure he could set up a killer workstation in our bedroom. I’ve already picked out his corner and, as you can see, I’ve found him a new desk.
It’s the TechniMobili® Retractable Compact Computer Desk and it’s from my much beloved Staples. The rotating work table has locking wheels to provide extra space when you need it. He loves gadget-y things, so I think I can sell him on this. What do ya think?

If time management is one of the things you truly struggle with, you have to set aside time to watch the lecture above. It’s by Randy Pausch, who sadly lost his battle with cancer. However, he has left behind an absolute wealth of information that can give help to anyone that wants it.
You’ll want to have pen and paper handy because the wit and wisdom flows like coffee in my kitchen.

I’ve found a new website that I’m absolutely addicted to – Useful Things.com. They have gifts, gadgets, gizmos, and goodies that you literally just won’t find anywhere else. Best of all, everything is on the very, very cheap.
The first thing I ever got from Useful Things was the Posy Desktop Photo/Memo Holder you see pictured above. When I saw its price ($12.95), I kind of thought, “Uh oh, this is going to be a hot little mess,” but I was delighted to see that it’s not only very well made, it’s a knock out!
It’s perfect for showcasing pictures of loved ones, whether they’re sweethearts, kids, pets, or yourself. Whoever motivates you, inspires you, and makes you smile. My favorite use for mine is this: I like to put my most important To Do tasks on an index card – ones that are more like Gotta Dos than To Dos – and then I stick the index card into one of the slots.
No excuses then! It’s right there staring at me along with my cats’ smiling faces. This process has honestly helped a great deal, because you know how To Do lists are – they get misplaced, stuff gets piled up on them, you forget if this was yesterday’s list or last week’s (hey, it happens).
Find more Office Gifts at Useful Things.com. While on the site, check out the other “shops,” like the ones for the kitchen and the home. You’ll find them under the Shop Menu tab at the top. You’re going to love these, I guarantee it.
Speaking of love, three words: See Star Trek. Three more: Best Movie Ever.

Time management is a subject that we all want (and need!) to know more about. We complain of not being able to find time for this or that, as though it’s something that’s lost and it’s our mission to find it.
The first step to take is to realize that we can’t find time, we have to make time.
A favorite author of mine, Brian Tracy, has been literally studying successful people for over 40 years. He has found that the number one thing they ALL have in common is that they have great time management skills. Realizing that time management is one of the most vital secrets of success, he has put together some of his most powerful time management programs for a BRAND NEW training kit
This new training kit – based on the best-selling book Eat That Frog! – will teach the skills and techniques needed to not only survive in this changing economy, but also thrive. Thriving is good, right?
The Eat That Frog! Training Kit includes:
Eat That Frog, 2nd Edition – 168-page book – Your most challenging task is the one you are most likely to procrastinate on — but it’s also the one that will have the greatest positive impact on your life.
How to Master Your Time – 6-CD Program – Brian will teach the philosophy of time management, to help internalize it, and to help you develop a belief system that will make every minute of your day more efficient.
The Life Planning Process – 44-page book – When’s the last time you actually wrote down what you wanted to accomplish, planned how to accomplish it and actually followed through? This workbook will help you do just
Make Every Minute Count By: Brian Tracy
Time management is the central skill of success. Your ability to manage your time, to focus and channel your energies on your highest value tasks, will determine your rewards and your level of accomplishment in life more than any other factor.
Save Hundreds of Hours and Thousands of Dollars in Personal Advancement
Your mind is your most precious asset. You must be continually working to increase the quality of your thinking. One of the best ways is to turn driving time into learning time. Listen to educational CDs or audio cassettes in your car. The average driver, according to the American Automobile Association, drives 12,000 to 25,000 miles each year, spending 500 to 1000 hours that you spend each year in your car. That is the equivalent of 12 1/2 to 25 forty-hour weeks. This is the same as two full university semesters spent behind the wheel of your car each year.
Use Traveling Time as Learning Time
If you did nothing but use that traveling time as learning time, this decision alone could make you one of the best educated people of your generation. Many people have gone from rags to riches simply by listening to audio programs as they drive to and from work.
Attend Every Seminar
In addition, for personal and professional development, you should attend every seminar you can. You can often save yourself 100’s of hours of reading and researching by attending a seminar given by an authority in his or her field. You can learn ideas, techniques and methods that can save you hours, days, even months of hard work and research on your own.
Increase Your Earnings
Remember, to earn more, you must learn more. Your outer world of results will always correspond to your inner world of preparation. Continuous learning is the minimum requirement for success in any field.
Action Exercises
Now, here are two things you can do to put these ideas to work in your life immediately.
First, purchase an audio program that can help you to be happier and more effective today. Begin listening to it immediately. Resolve never to listen to music in your car when you can turn driving time into learning time.
Second, seek out seminars and training programs given by experts in your field. Sit close to the front, take careful notes, and apply the best ideas that you learn immediately.

I’ve been meaning to post about this for two forevers, but between an internet connection that has forgotten how to function and a to do list that has forgotten that I’m human, I’ve been spending a great deal of time drinking coffee and mumbling under my breath.
It gets me through the day.
Ironically, I could have used some Bucky Balls these past few weeks – something to keep my hands busy while my mumbling mouth is hooked up to my coffee pot. If shiny things make you smile, too, you’re going to love this.
Bucky Balls are magnetic toy balls that you can manipulate and busy yourself with. You could, I dunno, build cryptic little messages of doom and e-mail the pictures to your internet provider…. assuming you could stay connected long enough to do so!
I haven’t actually tested these balls out, but they look to be a ton of fun. Head over to their website and see what you think: Bucky Balls!
