The toughest aspect of entrepreneurialism is marketing, which means creating need and attracting buyers to your ability to fill that need. (In organizational jobs, it’s about getting promoted, recommendations accepted, attractive job assignments, and so forth.) In my global coaching practice, one of the most common refrains about not being able to close business is that the buyer “has the attention span of a gnat.” In fact, people generally talk about society today, or generations, or readers, or attendees, or members, or subscribers, as “not having the attentions span of a gnat.” In the first place, there is no such thing as a “gnat.”  The term is used generically for the order Diptera which includes a variety of families of small flies, both biting and non-biting. Some fly, some can’t. Most walk or jump. But most importantly, the Diptera order has an average attention span of four seconds.  The average adult today has an attention span of eight seconds.  “Focused a...

November 17 marks the release of The Things We Never Say, a moving flash-fiction novella arriving on Amazon (EPUB), Draft2Digital library distribution, and audiobook. This collection invites readers into ten deeply felt stories about the moments that shape us—grief, memory, second chances, family secrets, and the quiet promises that bind people together even when life pulls them apart. This book speaks to the emotional corners of everyday life with a tenderness that meets readers where they are. Each story is brief enough for today's busy reader yet rich enough to linger long after the final page. From the heartbreak of lost love tucked away in a forgotten suitcase to childhood promises rediscovered in adulthood, the novella reminds us how often life is held together by the things we meant to say but never did. At its heart, The Things We Never Say is a testament to how ordinary people navigate loss, resilience, and connection. These stories illuminate what happens in kitchens l...

It’s often a simple solution that can work wonders for us, and freeing ourselves from “always-on” may be the key. Getty Images for unsplash.com Young adults and wellness enthusiasts have started adopting t he “analog bag” as their new accessory trend. An Axios article describes a tote or backpack filled with physical things rather than digital devices and applications. Items include everything from reading material to knitting or art supplies — whatever the person enjoys doing in their free time. Why items other than our trusted digital gadgets? Simple. It’s to free ourselves from what we have failed to see as an invisible “prison” of sorts , as we doom scroll or experience FOMO. Are you a “prisoner?” Few of us realize how much of our time is taken up with these things and how much we may have lost in terms of just being able to relax and not always be looking for information or a call from someone or whatever. What’s wrong with just sitting and musing? Nothing. As a matter...

November 14, 2025 NALC statement on Fiscal Year 2025 USPS financial results NALC President Brian L. Renfroe released the following statement: Today, the Postal Service announced its Fiscal Year 2025 financial results, reporting a net loss of $9 billion, a $542 million decrease from last year. These results reinforce the need for continued policy changes and network modernization to achieve long-term financial sustainability. For years, NALC led the fight to repeal the retiree health care pre-funding mandate. This was achieved in the Postal Service Reform Act. Today, we continue to say what we said then – more must be done. First, rather than being a creditor to the taxpayer-funded government, the Postal Service must be allowed to diversify the investments of the hundreds of billions of dollars it is currently required to invest in U.S. Treasury bonds. In addition, the Office of Personnel Management must rectify the decades-long overallocation of Civil Service Retirement System l...

Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize             This is an arduous process that is kept secret for 50 years by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.  Why they focus on my main press releases coming out of ExpertClick.com and only rarely use my academia.edu and wordpress.com websites, is the first big mystery.  But all three sites and the nobelprize.org site gives me lots of clues to reverse engineer their investigation of my ten years of being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.  Since they check on me every day from Europe and Australia and (maybe) America I observe lunch breaks and dinner breaks and 7pm evening meetings.  Once 38 people (the whole staff?) looked at my ten most recent releases, often a dozen look at my releases, presumably the principals and their secretaries, and this happens many times each year.  Guesswork Interpretation             This re...
