There's nothing more aggravating than arriving at your destination groggy and red-eyed. Jet lag makes clear thinking difficult, leading to bad decisions at international business meetings, and recreational travelers find it detracts from the enjoyment of their hard-earned and time-limited vacations. Symptoms include fatigue and general tiredness, inability to sleep at night, loss of concentration, headaches, malaise, and disorientation. It is caused by the disruption of biological rhythms as a result of rapid transitions across multiple time-zones. Such desynchronization of circadian rhythms also affects employees who transfer to night shifts. Preflight preparation is one of the most important aspects of combating jet lag. Before leaving, be sure you have all your affairs, personal and pro...

If you or someone in your family suffers from motion sickness then you have an extra element to prepare for when you think about traveling for the holidays. Not everyone experiences motion sickness the same, and it may not happen every time. For example, some people get motion sick on a cruise ship but not while they are in a car. Others may get queasy when they are on a train but not on an airplane. Common symptoms of motion sickness include sweating, nausea, dizziness, saliva in the mouth that is more than usual, and vomiting. Most people know when it is coming on and do all they can to minimize the effects. Many women suffer from motion sickness when they are pregnant due to the changes taken place in their bodies. Children are also quite susceptible to it as well. There are plenty of t...

Most people do not recognize the power available to them in their own minds. Winston Churchill once said: "Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference." He should know. After all, he led his country against all odds to fight off a bitter enemy and eventually (with a little help from friends) snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Where would the world be today if Churchill had not let his nation challenge Hitler and believed, contrary to all evidence, they could succeed in that battle? Nothing is no more powerful than what we believe. If we believe that we can achieve then we can. If we believe that we are doomed to failure then we will. Sometimes enacting a change in our lives is as simple as changing our attitude. Think about this quote from Katherine Mansfield: "Could we cha...

In marketing as in science, there are basic principles that govern the movement of bodies in space, or prospects, and clients. Just as people instinctively know the law of gravity, they are aware of the fundamental principles of marketing. Unlike the law of gravity which is hard to deny, many small business owners often neglect to apply core marketing principles to attract clients. Even if you've never been hit on the head by an apple, you wouldn't argue that objects fall down instead of up. Of course, Issac Newton's true genius in describing the law of gravity was in realizing that the same force that attracts apples to the earth is responsible for keeping objects in orbit around other planets and moons. Use the following marketing principles to pull in prospects the same way gravity pull...

Once you have decided to start the process of making coffee at home, it is important to plan ahead and take note of some things that you should do. Here are a few things to look for before you get started. As with all home brewing, it is best to grind your coffee beans in a coffee grinder rather than using coffee grounds. Ground coffee will retain its flavor better and is easier to pour into the brewer. Add water to the coffee maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Measure it out into small cups so that you can measure all of your water at once. It will save you time and make pouring the water into the coffee brewer faster. To make an original coffee taste, you need to soak old coffee grounds in cold water. After about two hours of soaking the grounds, you can let them sit ove...
