  • Productivity is a measure of output completed whithin a time frame. This could be goods, services, or even personal goals as long as the output is measurable in some way and it was completed within a realistic time frame.

    Washing dishes, losing weight, and making children happy can all be counted as productive if there are goals and a way to measure them. Even reduced anxiety by taking s day off could be described as productive if there is a way to measure it even if the measure is subjective. Cleaning up a park can be productive even though the end result is removing things instead of creating them!

    Basically it is getting things done within a reasonable time frame and is not limited to business.



  • Not knowing their age, I still go with anything PG13 or your local equivalent is likely to be fine for most kids depending on what they like and how they react to different situations. My kiddo liked Jurrasic World at 10, but couldn’t handle Jurrasic Park because JP did a better job at making scary scenes scary.

    I enjoyed a lot of Rated R movies as a kid, especially when the rating was from language. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles wasn’t any more adult than Uncle Buck except for the F bomb laden rental scene. Both are completely appropriate for kids around 10 years old with parental guidance if needed.

    We never hid cursing from our kiddo and she didn’t repeat it elsewhere, so it really came down to what held her attention and what seemed like something we felt might need some explaining.










  • Mainly I’m asking all of you why do people insist on only answering 1 question out of an e-mail where there are multiple?

    They are either distracted or don’t understand that there are multiple questions. In a few cases they don’t want or know how to respond to multiple questions in an email format because they are afraid of changing your text formatting (yes, at least three people have told me that was why they didn’t).

    Do people just not read?

    Quite a few have terrible reading comprehension.

    Are people that lazy?

    Some are.

    What is going on?

    It is a mix of a lot of things, all of which are different versions of poor communication skills.



  • Most nonverbal cues vary wildly between people and situations, which makes them useless when applied to strangers. Only focusing on the obvious ones is worth the time.

    Some obvious ones:

    • walking away to end a conversation
    • stepping back (wants space)
    • looking away and not responding (wants to be left alone)

    Some inconsistent ones I frequently hear stated as facts

    • crossing arms is being defensive (they could just be cold!)
    • looking away, but still talking, is showing disinterest (they might have difficulty with maintaining eye contact)
