On average, dealing with interruptions at work consumes more than two hours a day or 28% of your whole workday. For many, it feels like there are mysterious forces that thwart your best efforts to be productive at work and beyond. These forces are labeled demons of distraction. And, these distractions deplete your psychic energy and divert your attention from important tasks, creating a barrier to being productive. You don't have to let your life spin out of control; you can take action against your distractions now. Increasing productivity by reducing distractions is a skill everyone can learn and improve. Confronted with today's uncertainties and challenges, banning distractions from your work/life can help manage your scattered, disorganized and forgetful mind.

Defeating the 8 Demons of Distraction: Proven Strategies to Increase Productivity and Decrease Stress

Happiness is a basic human desire and one of the founding principles of the United States. Yet, it is something many find elusive, as well as a subject about which we have many questions. What fundamental truths will make us happy, even in turbulent times? Do we know why happiness seems out of reach? When our economic foundations are shaken, we may feel being happy belongs to the past, not the future. In "Finding Happiness with Aristotle as Your Guide: Action Strategies Based on 10 Timeless Ideas" authors Gary Madvin and Geraldine Markel demonstrate how to deal with the problems of today and get back on the path to happiness. They provide vignettes of situations to which many can relate and show how the philosophical principles of Aristotle, one of the greatest thinkers of all time, can be used to move beyond the stoppers to finding-or rediscovering-happiness. Whether you're a businessperson, community leader, wage earner, or retiree, you can follow Aristotelian ideas for creating happiness in your life and never look back. The 10 ideas and action strategies show you how to take control and stop feeling empty, overwhelmed, confused, or dissatisfied-and start feeling fulfilled, satisfied, and certain. www.happinesswitharistotle.com
