And Then Some Publishing and ANTworkstudio Updates
This week the yellow site-stripe was updated.
What is that you ask?
Atop all of our blogs and many websites there is a yellow band that includes links to more books, videos, blogs... And Then Some!
Upon visiting the pages that include the site-stripe, the popular opinion was the site-stripe was too demonstrative and felt as if you were to navigate the current website using this feature. Confused? Most people were and that wasn't the point.
Our goal was for you to visit our many websites, videos, and blogs in the And Then Some Publishing and ANTworkstudio world using the yellow site-stripe. We weren't supposed to create confusion.
We hope we've fixed the issue. Use the new yellow site-stripe links and see more books, videos, baby books... you guessed it... And Then Some!
Let us know what you think of our yellow site-stripe atop this page. Did you find something interesting? We hope you did!
It's always fun to start off with a joke: Laugh... And Then Some
Thursday's Essay Preview
As I write these words (at the end of the first week of February), over one-third of those who made a New Year’s resolution have already broken them. According to John C. Norcross, a professor of psychology at the University of Scranton, six months after January 1st, 46% of those who make them will not have fulfilled them, and FranklinCovey, based on a poll of 15,000 customers, claims that 80% of those making resolutions will break them. So, how long does it take for the shine of a new resolution to rub off?
Thursday's Essay Excerpt
At the Time/CNN web site, Maia Szalavitz, in her essay, “How to Keep Your New Year's Resolutions: Advice from the Experts,” writes: “ . . . recognize that willpower is like a muscle — it gets stronger with appropriate use but ultimately weakens if overloaded” . . . set “short-term goals that are moderately difficult, realistic, concrete and measurable” . . . start “at a level that is challenging but not overwhelming [to] provide a sense of achievement and success — which can give you the drive to take on bigger challenges.” That is, not only do you not need to let the shine rub off, but you can polish it to an even higher level of shine!
