Tips For the Best Ways To Work Remotely From Home…
Now that many of us are working and/or studying from home, many, like myself, may be finding that it’s not all fun and games. While there are good benefits such as no commute (just a few steps to the desk) there are many things we can do to set ourselves up for success. Follow a routine. Still stick to a morning routine that you normally would if going into a physical work/office space. Whatever you normally do to get ready in the morning. I like to still follow my pre-leaving the house method of waking up, meditating/reflecting/praying, showering, get ready to leave the house. Prior I would grab coffee/breakfast on…

Covid-19 “Dramatically accelerated” e-Commerce Up to 5+ Years: Kohl’s CEO…
It has been very interesting to see the dramatic effect that the Coronavirus and the ensuing March lockdown has had on the economic sector. This was initially observed when the lockdown first happened and funnel-forced us as a society to use e-commerce in droves. I have been thinking about this phenomenon where the natural progression that would have organically occurred over the next 5-10 years, has now been forcefully squeezed into the past 7-8 months. The natural progression predicted that the change would have happened as the younger generations (Millennials, Gen Z), who grew up with and naturally embrace digital technology as a part of their everyday lives, continue to…

NYC Plastic Bag Ban Takes Effect…
[Originally written October 24th, 2020.] NYC’s plastic bag-ban law finally kicked in. I noticed that many supermarkets were still using plastic bags as the enforcement of the law had been postponed due to the pandemic. But now the law seems to be being enforced as the local supermarket I went to which up to now had been still using plastic bags (and at no extra 5-cent charge) now had removed all plastic bags. The checkout cashier asked if I needed a bag and offered the stores logo reusable bag for sale (upselling!). And they also have brown-paper bags available for a 5-cent charge. I had been stocking up and saving…

Essential Music: “Women In Chains” by Tears for Fears featuring Oleta Adams
This song popped on one of my playlists and it’s one of those songs that makes me pause and reflect on the beauty of it. Enchantingly soothing vocals, velvety melodies and a hard drum that only Phil Collins could do. “Tears for Fears just wanted me to do that big drum thing from ‘In the Air Tonight‘…” Collins recalled. “We want you to come in here in a big way.” Song: “Woman in Chains” Artist: Tears for Fears featuring Oleta Adams Album: The Seeds of Love ℗ 1989 Mercury Records Limited Released on: 1989-09-25 Producer, Associated Performer, Bass Guitar: Curt Smith Producer, Associated Performer, Electric Guitar, Vocals, Keyboards, Drum Programming:…

It’s a Generational Thing…
I have long been fascinated by generations and how they are defined. Ever since I was young. What exactly is a ‘generation’?,Who declares them?, and how are they defined?, I constantly wondered. What made one generation different from another? Turns out, we do. Sorta. Us, along with natural and societal events. Wikipedia describes a generation as, “all of the people born and living at about the same time, regarded collectively.” Ok. I’ll go with that. Wikipedia goes on to say: Generation is also often used synonymously with cohort in social science; under this formulation it means “people within a delineated population who experience the same significant events within a given period of time”.[1] Generations in this sense of birth cohort, also…
