The thing I hate the most

The thing that upsets me the most is when people stop on a moving walkway. It happens every time in airports and I don’t get it: these moving walkways are here to help you to move faster. So why so many people stop on them? Making things easier shouldn’t allow people to stop making any effort.

I have almost the same feeling with escalators but I sometimes feel the need to stop to save my breath.

That’s probably why I love this video from Casey Neistat. I don’t remember how many times I have shared it.

About email Etiquette

Email is the bread and butter of the modern worker and it’s also its plague.

I have mentioned it quite often here because it is very simple to send an email but the problem is on the receiving side.

Think twice before you click « send »

That should be the first rule: before you send, please think! Very often, when we send an email, we get rid of a problem and we send it to someone else. Sending an email is easy, the difficult part is for the one who handles it.

– Must have.

The Power of Habits

It has taken me a while to start reading this book. I am now fascinated by it.

The habit is deconstructed in 3 steps:
– Clue, a trigger.
– the routine
– the reward.

This might seem abvious and too simple but it is also very powerful. When you understand it, you can modify and transform your habits in the way you think you should.

Visiting book stores

One thing I like to do during my holidays is taking time to visit book stores. Having time to ramble around is one great pleasure.

Of course I look at all the book but I keep taking pleasure to see our titles. Every year I see more of them. Last week I have taken a few pictures.

Sometimes it’s hard

It’s hard to keep the rythm, especially during the holiday break. I have been taken my family from Dieppe to La Rochelle.

Yesterday in Dieppe I have had a special though for the Canadian sacrifice in 1942 when and allied operation failed.

When can I find time to write?
