You still are able to have dinner with family,ride bike, ski, interact with your daughter.Write a daily blog .Find me one of you, oh may be you should go into telling our kids how to do it all in the time alloted by the gods.Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />I am just trying to be genius.That is hard ,i have to do whole lot of nothing .In the end it may end up whole lot of nothing. <br /><br />I am getting tired by just thinking about your schedule. <br /><br />What is the learning moment.How do you change pace.How many words you read per minuit and comprehend if you respond 500 e-mails that if each takes a minuit is more time than a smoker spent on smoking 70 cigarettes. Wow glad you do not smoke.<br />You also do not need much sleep,in my case that would have meant extra time to day dream.<br /><br />Let your assistants do more of the work ,they can do it.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.I like your thinking,very analytical proactive, engaged mind.<br /><br />In next life i will ask gods for your stamina.kul bhushanhttp://rxri.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-82526833530328599352010-12-21T10:44:12.318-08:002010-12-21T10:44:12.318-08:00Makes me feel guilty I emailed you last year with ...Makes me feel guilty I emailed you last year with a quick question.

In this way, technology is both the savior and the demon...but the good and the bad only balance one another IF a person is able to harness the technology to simplify their learning and workload - it seems that folks who are unable or unwilling to embrace the new media and new technologies only get the bad (the 1000 emails, the meetings, the expectations). <br /><br />We all know folks who find it easy to say no, who are very selective in managing their bandwidth, but who have finite processing speed - this is no longer a viable option.<br /><br />And, we all know folks who find it easy to process lots of information, but who have to reboot from time to time b/c they are unable to prioritize - clearly this is unproductive.<br /><br />It seems the only way this will work is for folks to enhance their competencies (prioritization and processing speed) AND embrace technology.<br /><br />Stepping back for a second, nothing I wrote above is earth-shaking, but I can not shake the sense that these problems are becoming career-limiting at a frightening pace.Brian McGowan, PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02956706119383548937noreply@blogger.com
