Thanks for your comment. Meetings can be the bane of anyone’s existence. There are a few very simple things that we can do to make them more productive, like having and following an agenda, but these aren’t done. No wonder people feel so overwhelmed when they have to spend so much time in wasted meetings!

I too often attend Management-level meetings. But often they are not properly planned or executed. We get the information in the last minute and so get no time for preparation. And the agenda is often forgotten when the discussions get heated up. At last each one returns home satisfied thinking ‘I’m sure I outshone the other one’! Definitely not successful teamwork.

Sticking on to the agenda is a requisite, I believe.
Very useful post, Nancy.

Good points. There is a fine line between setting goals which will challenge you, but are attainable. It is so true that we need to adjust our thinking and our goals as the situation warrants.

As for the Patriots winning the Super Bowl, there’s always next year to look forward to!

I think that the Super Bowl also gives us a chance to focus on setting realistic expectations. I think many people are quick to set their expectations either too high or too low without honestly examining the situation. Then as the game progresses, we often need to readjust our expectations even though we may not want to. It’s also important to note that setting realisitic expectations is not the same as being pessimistic although people tend to group these two together. I want to end by saying I sure wish the Patriots did win this Super Bowl!

Thanks for your comment. You, too, are well on your way to becoming a Sudoku genius, just like your wife :)

I must add that you have become quite accomplished and can do most of the puzzles without filling in the blocks with the possible answers first, which is not an easy thing to do! It IS amazing how helpful it is to put the puzzle aside when you get stuck and then the answer’s pop out at you when you pick it up again. There is definitely a lesson to be learned by that!

Thanks for your thoughts. Persistence is the key to success in anything, I think. I try to share this lesson with the students that I am mentoring but it’s a hard lesson to learn.

It helps me in framing the teachers’ time table at school. Persistence is the quality you need here. Never give up until you succeed. Good lessons to learn, Nancy.

I’m glad you’ve found something that relaxes you. When I was in college, I chose more active leisure activities, so I could give my brain a rest.

Nancy
P.S. Glad you found a free alternative for playing pool. It sounds like my free alternative to having to pay for Zumba classes. I just look up videos on YouTube :)
