Who Moved My Brain? Revaluing Time and Attention

28% of EACH DAY is consumed by interruptions... things that are not urgent or important, like... unnecessary e-mails and THE TIME IT TAKES TO GET BACK ON TRACK!

Hang on to that Valentine - It's not just a box.

Why not give her "the same old box of chocolates" for Valentine's this year?
With the rage of everything new for the new year calming down, it's time to settle back into something familiar that feeds the soul.
Nineteen years ago next week, my love presented me with a box of See's Candy for our first Valentine.
This year it's my turn to get the box filled.
The first year, her valentine read:
I wanted to buy my Valentine a lovely velvet box so fine...

But what will he do when the confection’s all ate?
Add it to the trash pile so great!
Yet I still desired to give this token of my affections
Despite its disposability
Then I had an idea romantic and correct
Environmentally.
The start of a tradition… to keep the box out of the landfill situation
Next year, on this amorous occasion... my darling will reuse the container

To satisfy the romantic,
and chocolate
equation.
