A Week in Review – We Added Video!
For many people, Sunday is a day of rest, a day to review the reading they missed over the course of the week. If you are one of those people, this is the place for you! This was an exciting week here on the blog because we added video. It was a fun process. The videos are all done in one take, no editing, no finesse, down and dirty. In upcoming articles, the videos will get better, more sophisticated, more polished. The important thing was that this week, I tried something new and scary and just went for it.
Here are the things we covered in Janeane’s World this week.

Stop Procrastination – Give It Your Best
It is terrific to know you can stop procrastination by giving it your best effort. There a quite a few definitions for procrastination. One definition is procrastination is what happens when a person doesn’t do what they are supposed to do and instead do something else. Another definition for procrastination is to do a less important task because it is easier than the more important task that needs to be done. Yet another definition is that procrastination means to wait to do something until the thing is no longer necessary. No matter what definition you use, procrastination hinders progress and keeps you from doing things that need to be done.
Looking for Work – Do Some Research
It is wonderful to know your search for work will be more successful if you do some research. There comes a time in the lives of most adults when they must look for a work. It does not matter if you are a traditional employee, an entrepreneur or a freelancer. Unless you are independently wealthy, you must earn income and in order to do so, you must look for work. Once upon a time, when people were looking for work things were simple. People would get the Sunday edition of the local newspaper and it would be filled to the brim with listings from all kinds of employers trying to find employees to fill job openings. Today, the Sunday newspaper editions, where they exist, are slim and have few listings. One is more likely to find jobs via the internet job boards, social networking sites and LinkedIn.
Learn New Ways to Run Your Business
It is thrilling to learn new ways to run your business. People who are not entrepreneurs often think owning a business is easy. Those on the outside think entrepreneurs have it easy because they do not have to learn new things or do a lot of reading, writing and school work. However, for most successful entrepreneurs, these notions could not be further from the truth.
Work Life Balance – Learn New Tricks
It is fantastic to know there is always something new to learn to in the work life balance battle. There are always books, articles, documentaries and news reports on the struggle to balance work and life. These stories always amaze me because they are usually so drastically dismal or ridiculously optimistic. The reality is that it is hard to balance work and life, but it can be done. Like most things worth having, finding a balance between work and life is hard but well worth the effort. Most people work because they have to work in order to provide a living for themselves and their families. At the same time people want to live lives that are fulfilling, satisfying and enjoyable.

i don’t often take a whole day off without any type of work. internet doesn’t sleep so there is always work for me to do since my job is online.
I always love your posts. It makes for a very positive outlook in life. It just gives you that boost of confidence that you need. Thank you for sharing! I have seen a lot of online application for jobs or works lately. It sure is different now that when it was back then. And yes, procrastination is a beast! I do that sometimes. But then, who doesn’t? It is a hard thing to beat, indeed. Thanks again!
You are right, our attitude makes all the difference.
Thank you for your kind words! I am glad I helped you.
That gratitude journal seems like a good idea. I am going to have to adapt that in my life.
If you ever find a way to take a day completely off and just watch tv with no wife, mom or work duties, let me know your secret!
Procrastination is a hard thing to beat, especially when you are in pain. I am happy for you that you are improving. That must be satisfying.
It is really different looking for work now. So much of it is apply online. So many requirements now.
Yes we did make it through another week. It is about remaining positive, isn’t it?
I miss these inspirational post of yours. I believe you inspired me to drop procrastination so thank you for that!
I use a gratitude journal daily but share a weekly gratitude list on my blog and encourage my readers to share what they are grateful for as well!

Sunday is definitely not a day of rest for me!! I am so busy catching up and preparing for the next week that I don’t have time to rest! lol!! looks like you had a great and inspirational week!
its magnificent to learn something new and you have added much more into my knowledge. thanks for sharing this Janeane!
It is rare that I take a day completely off. If I am not working on my business, I am thinking about it or working on things behind the scenes. Then, there is the duty of home ownership, chores, wife, mother and pet owner. I would love a day to just sit in front of the television and do nothing.
Procrastination is a big thing for me… I procrastinate a lot and I am usually in pain. So I can only manage to do things for a little at a time. My last week was intensely busy, and this week wont be much easier. Still, I am trying my best to get up and moving on getting even more done this week than last! 🙂
