Turn off the noise

Published: Friday, 19 April 2013

The world is so noisy!  Every day there's the breaking news through your multiple most trusted news sources; there's the buzz of your twitter and your Facebook showing all your friends seemingly enjoying a better life than yours; the technology feeds telling you how you can be a better leader.  Everywhere you look, there's more and more stimuli and it never stops piling up.

Step away from the blogs, the news, twitter, Facebook.  Stop the constant need for stimuli, for being faux-connected through living through other's online lives.

Step away so you can find your inner calm and focus on creating things that matter.
