My second son was born a year and a half ago with hemifacial microsomia. That means half of his face is deformed. I'm not linking to a description of the birth defect, even though I know you will Google it. I'm not linking because the pictures are always the worst cases.

Time management is one of those skills no one teaches you in school but you have to learn. It doesn't matter how smart you are if you can't organize information well enough to take it in. And it doesn't matter how skilled you are if procrastination keeps you from getting your work done. Friday smorgasbord: Moralists, ethicists and philosophers

It's a lot easier to give advice than to implement it. You can imagine how acutely aware of this I must be. Save what matters by delegating what doesn't

I am a huge fan of delegating. Part of what makes me good is that I love time management advice, and I'm constantly asking myself what is most important to me. I keep my list to about five things, and everything else is fair game for delegation. Also, I am lucky to have many traits [...] How to reach the new American dream

American dream has changed. It used to be a college education, a steady job, a nice house (and a family to fill it), and a better financial picture than your parents. There is a new American Dream that is still about "doing better than your parents" but not in a financial sense. This dream is [...] Is it the weekend if the week never ends?

According to Newsweek, more than 3.4 million people have a daily commute that is longer than 90 minutes. Insane.
