		<description><![CDATA[I was recently at a Customer Service workshop and during a conversation on what we expected as customers,  action within reasonabletime frames was mentioned.  One of the ladies in the group mentioned that she is forever procrastinating.  She explained that she'll read documents or emails any number of times before actually dealing with it or replying.

She reminded me of a suggestion I was once given which helps us measure how mad our procrastination of this type is and motivate us to postpone procrastination and act!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How much of an effect does the print font we use have on the reader?  Does the ease or difficulty of reading text have an impact on our view of the information?  How do we process information?

Recent experimental research shows that the print font we use can have a profound effect on our understanding of information.  This happens because the print fonts influence how fluently we process the information, even though the font has no actually relationship with the information it is displaying.  How much consideration do you give to the font that you use?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Been watching the X factor? Have you noticed that X Factor contestants are more likely to get the boot if they sing near the start of the show.

Cambridge University academics compiled data from 150 editions of the X Factor and Pop Idol to prove the theory that a contestant's fate does not boil down to whether they can sing.  This theory will more than likely not surprise any of you....but what did they find out?]]></description>

It is one of the easiest things in the world to become distracted.  To not pay full attention to what we are doing at any one point in time.  We have other things on our mind.  Something catches the corner of our [...]]]></description>
