Default Simple & Easy: Check This Out!

Hello Everyone,

My gosh, it has been SO long since I have had a chance to visit!

Earlier today, I also FINALLY had a chance to visit my other favorite discussion board. I read a message that got me thinking about something I had done that was so simple, and yet it worked.

I posted my "tip" on the other discussion board, and I wanted to share it with you, too.

I hope this is not seen as spamming ... because that is definitely NOT what I am trying to do. I am simply sharing a simple idea that worked for me. And sometimes the simplest things produce wonderful results!

So here is what I posted ... read it, try it, and you'll be surprised at the results!

Are you like me? You occasionally come across some interesting tip, and you try it out to see if it really works? I do. :-)

Here's what I found several months ago, I tried it, and by golly, it did make a difference!

Ready? Research has found that if you place a mirror next to your computer screen, your productivity increases. At this point, researchers are not sure why. But what they are theorizing is this:

*if you work alone, seeing yourself in the mirror reduces the feeling of isolation.

*if you work in a cubicle, being able to see other people behind you or walking past your cubicle gives you a sense of community.

*by having a mirror, you can monitor your facial expressions while on the phone. Be sure you SMILE while talking on the phone ...YES; people can actually "hear" a smile in your voice! (Guess what that does to your customer service and sales?!)

*placing a mirror next to your monitor also gives the feeling of being next to a window. At my last residence, I actually placed a full size mirror, horizontally, beside my monitor. Then, whether I looked left or right, I could always see out my patio windows.

*did you know that employee productivity increases when a workplace has numerous windows? And did you also know that a lack of windows increases employee stress and frustration? And, lastly, did you know that when a company wants to reduce the strength of, or break a union, they will oftentimes relocate to a building without windows?

Now that you are your own boss, put the ball back in your own court by "creating" your own window ... your window of opportunity!
