Experience Totality Today

By Totality I mean the Total Eclipse of the Moon!

Do something different tonight: witness a full lunar eclipse (assuming that the skies are clear in your area this evening) The entire event will be visible from a large area including part of Africa, Europe, North America, and South America.

The lunar eclipse starts at 8:43 EST. Totality itself will begin at 10:01 EST and last for 50 minutes. The entire shows will end at 12:09 EST on February 21, 2008.

Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are 100% safe to watch. You can look directly at the 'disappearing' moon without any special filters.

Although the entire event will not be visible from the US West Coast, you still will be able to see the majority of the eclipse.

Twice The Juice

I just wanted to take a moment to announce that my weekly eNewletter, Twice The Juice, will launch on November 14th. It will focus on similar topics as this blog, such as productivity, creativity, and life strategy. You will be able to register for it from several locations, including here at my blog starting tomorrow evening.

If you would like to sign-up today, please go to www.twicethejuice.com to do so. I personally hate spam so this is a double opt-in email list. Additionally, I will never share your email address with anyone else.

Why is it called Twice The Juice? My mantra is "to get twice the juice from half the fruit" and I hope that the content of this eNewsletter will help you achieve more within your personal and professional life while spending less time, energy, and resources as well.


Thanks,
Thom Quinn, Business Coach

Productivity 101 (Day 24): Free Prizes!

You guessed it: a contest!

Do you have a great productivity tip, technique, or secret you’d like to share with the world. Is it one that you believe is rarely utilized or brand-spanking new?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and then promote the best ones. Unlike books, blogs should be focused conversations. This is your chance to contribute an entry to Productivity 101.

The best two ideas will both win and be explained on August 19th. Besides getting a day dedicated to your concept and a big kudos from me, you’ll also receive a free Globe-Weis Everyday File ($20.00 value). This is a very good one-stop tickler system that I have recommended to others in the past. It has 42 folders (31 days, 12 months). Why is this not 43 folders? The last two days, 30 and 31, are combined into a single folder in this version. You can use this tickler to keep track of all kinds of papers, bills, concert tickets, birthday cards, etc. I’ll ship one to each of the the winners, free of charge, anywhere in the world.


Contest Rules:

1)      You may enter as many times as you like via email.

2)      Be Honest and Creative (e.g. do not plagiarize from a book or website).

Please submit your idea-laden entry to me via email at thomquinn at gmail.com

Good Luck!
Thom
