Rick Peterson, Tollefson Publishing general manager

It seems that I have come to a point in my life where my short-term memory forgets to work.
Over my working career I usually begin my day with a daily to-do list. The list generally serves two purposes: first, it gives me achievement goals for the day; but mostly, it helps remind me of smaller tasks  I may forget over the course of the day.
Just recently I was writing one such note to myself before I headed to work for the day. None of the tasks on the list were all that important, but if I didn’t write them down I would surely forget them.
Once at the office, I was going to pull out my to-do list when I realized I forgot my to-do list at home. Who would have thought I need to write myself a note reminding me to bring my to-do list to work?

 As you probably know, I am a bit slow when it comes to keeping pace with new viewing options on TV. I finally have joined the NETFLIX crowd. I haven’t binge-watched anything yet, but I have watched four movies over the course of the first week of NEXFLIX.
As it turns out, there are a number of benefits to having NETFLIX. I call it the NETFLIX diet. I didn’t realize I had signed up for the diet; it just happened.
The NETFLIX diet helped me reduce my nightly unnecessary calorie intake by several hundred calories each time I watched one of those four movies.
With no commercial interruption during the movies, I didn’t make any trips to the kitchen to find something to snack on.
Who would have known watching a movie could be so healthy for you?
