For years I kept reading blogs, listening to interviews and watching TED talks, without implementing what I’d learned. That’s why today I’ll not only show you what you can do to learn something new every day, but also how to actually do something with it. We’ll start with where to find something new to learn each day.

Thank you so much for all the comments and amazingly heart-felt emails you sent me last week as I celebrated my 50th.

Do people really boycott businesses and restaurants the first time we feel we are treated poorly? I didn’t have the receipt, and never did return to Macy’s for years after that and had no recourse at the time; there was no Twitter and no Facebook either. I’m looking forward to a great year of customer service.

There are just too many passwords to remember, and that doesnt include my bosss passwords that I also need to know because I have to check his emails as well as my own. Some sites use your email address as the log in, while others require you to create your own. But things like email etc, are all logged up in the noggin.

I had a big learning curve going into it and I didnt know any of the other assistants so I felt all alone with my challenges. The nice thing about on-line sites is for the most part they are free, but what they dont charge in fees they can take up in time, as many of us have experienced with sites such as Facebook.

The last time I went to a restaurant, I checked online for a menu before calling to make reservations. We want to learn more about the people we’re going to hire services from. One friend refers you to someone who only has an email address, a generic address like annepottertherapist@mail.com. I’m betting it’s been a long time.
