Time Has Run Out

Dear Readers, I regret to inform you that I will no longer be posting to Deb’s most wonderful OTR Blog. While I would love to continue, ironically, I just don’t have the “time.” I don’t have the time in the sense that I find myself scouring the web for more relative items to post than [...]

Heat at an All Time High ~ Time Management at an All Time Low (Say it Isnt’ So!)

Good morning… Hope all is well with you today.  Here we are, in the midst of summer and the heat is at an all time high (at least where I live) and unfortunately my time management  routine is at an all time low. Yes, folks, as of late, I have fallen off the wagon (well [...]

Time is Running (So Am I)

Greetings readers… I hope all is well with you. Your Time and Tech guy has decided (since being off the wagon soo long) that ‘s it’s time to get back on track with fitness.

A Dedicated Day Offline Realized

Hello Readers… I hope all is well with you and that your Memorial Day was spent, to some extent, doing what the holiday was created for – in memory of the men and women in our armed forces. Those that are currently serving and have served for us in all capacities. Well, it came to [...]

Productivity Tao-isms – Do They Peacefully Coexist?

Greetings readers… My standard greeting holds – I hope this post finds you well. Time management-wise, things have been on the up since my last post. As some of you might remember, my business partner/recording partner/long time friend since college and I are striving to finish up a CD project we’ve been working on for (literally) [...]

Waste Not, Want Not

Hello readers…hope this blog post finds you in well spirits. Growing up, my mother use to drill into me and my siblings, a quote she liked –  ”Waste not, want not!” While that applied to eating all the food put on our plate, it definitely applies (in my book) to time management.
