About a month ago, I played golf for the first time with Number Three Son (N3S). I was looking forward to a pleasant afternoon. I imagined fresh air, healthy sunshine, and that father-son banter that women who don’t understand men categorize as superficial.

It was possibly the worst sales pitch I’d ever heard - a National Public Radio commercial for a touring company coming to South Florida. “If you see one Broadway show this year… you might want to see Les Miserables.”

Japanese scientists studied 122 workers between the ages of 21 and 60. They found that work stress (in the form of tension, anxiety, and depression) was associated with an increase in what they called “eating to satiety” (meaning eating until they were completely full). Unfortunately, eating to satiety was also associated with weight gain.

Instead of building a profitable business the ETR way - by learning through experience, practice, and with the help and advice of others who have “been there, done that” - Cambridge University researchers would like to think you will one day be able to do it by taking a pill.

“Frowsy” or “Frowzy” (FROW-zee) - possibly related to the Old English for “smelly” - means dirty and untidy or musty.
Last week, my wife Karin and I received an e-mail inquiry about one of the goal-setting programs we offer through Early to Rise. The gentlemen indicated that he was at a point where he was looking for a real change, not a temporary fix. He was interested in the program, yet skeptical. He wanted more than a money-back guarantee. He said that he would follow the material to the letter, but was hesitant to invest his time unless we could guarantee that his time wouldn’t be wasted - that the program would work specifically for him.

It’s easy to imagine how this ambiguity might result in confusion. Understanding whether something is happening now or will occur later could be important. So it’s best to avoid the word entirely and substitute now, currently, or at present. These alternatives are simpler and clearer. In communication, that’s always a good thing.
