Free a Week of Your Life

October 30, 2017 By Tom Mungavan Leave a Comment

What would you do to gain a week each year? That would be 2,400 minutes of saved time.  That seems like a lot, right? It works out to be about ten minutes per workday!

What wastes ten minutes in a day (or more)?

  • Checking Facebook or Twitter.
  • Being distracted by the news feed or YouTube videos on your browser.
  • Going through worthless emails.
  • Spending too much time in unproductive meetings.

I have caught myself being waylaid by all of those, and more, distractions.  When I did the calculation of how ten minutes a day can add up … I calculated again to double-check.  Even ten minutes makes a big difference. It caused me to change how I use social media, or don’t.

Small Comfort Zones

October 23, 2017 By Tom Mungavan Leave a Comment

We live in comfort zones that are three sizes too small

Most of our clients are very uncomfortable when I turn on the video camera in a coaching session. They typically do not like some of what they see on the video playback. Seeing what it looks like on the other side of the table in our weaker moments is not comfortable … it may be downright painful. Unfortunately, everyone else has been seeing the painful view for a long time.  Once we know what we are doing that does not work well, we have the choice to change our behavior. We can adjust our behaviors in meaningful ways.

iPhone Background Refresh

October 19, 2017 By Tom Mungavan Leave a Comment

Protecting your iPhone battery usage and cellular data minutes is a continual struggle. A new feature with IOS 11 provides an option for running your apps in the background.  Your apps can update regularly in the background so they are up-to-date when you need them; it’s a handy feature. However, the function can consume much of your cellular minutes unnecessarily.

In the past, your option was to turn off the apps running in the background or leave them on to consume cellular data.  The latest IOS update allows you to have your apps update when you are on WI-FI (not using cellular data) and not update when running away from your WI-FI connection.

Go to your iPhone Settings, select GENERAL > select Background App Refresh >  select Background App Refresh again > choose WI-FI if you want to only refresh when you are on a WI-FI network. Select BACK to return (see picture).
