New Path Productivity LLC · New Path Perspective Blog: The Path To Achieving Your Goals

What do you think and feel when you hear the word "routine"? For some, it brings thoughts of rigidity and mind-numbing boredom. For others, it evokes calm and a sense of accomplishment.

New Path Productivity LLC · New Path Perspective Blog: Stop Making New Year Resolutions

Those who know me know I'm not a fan of new year resolutions. I've stated before there is nothing magical about January 1st, and far too much emphasis is placed on declaring resolutions.
