Creating an Interactive iPad Multi-Touch Book with iBooks Author: First TakeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The educational community was all abuzz over the last few weeks about the new interactive textbooks coming out from Apple. Instead of static pictures and text, these new books come alive with audio, video, and interactive diagrams and charts. These interactive texts are viewable on the iPad and other iOS devices. The creation software, iBooks Author, is a free download for the Mac from the app store (It’s not currently available for the PC). It installs quickly and has the look and feel of Apple’s flagship word processor, Pages. I downloaded the software to my Macbook Pro and decided to take an existing ebook that I p...

3 Ways To Prepare For AdversityEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
When the going gets tough, we tend to seek out those people—and things—that give us the strength to be our best self. We yearn for the feeling that we’ve turned our lives around and are headed for better days. Looking for the upside takes our mind off the down times. A positive attitude allows us forget, even for a while, the hardships that face us in many areas of our life. Those times of contentment and happiness are wonderful. We need to spend time with them so when times are harder, we can remember the strength they gave us. But to expect those times to last is not realistic. Here is the ugly truth: We learn very...

5 Myths Haunting Your Healthy FoodsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
ConclusionThe bottom line in all these myths is that people mistakenly assume various certifications as proxies for nutritional quality, but their presence bears no meaning to the quality of food you eat when you hold other things equal. The best way to ensure you’re eating right is to consistently consume a diet of fresh foods with minimally processed ingredients, and spare yourself the confusion of deciphering the legitimacy of the latest fads of the health food industry.References Used:Shan, Lu, et. al. “Structural Basis for Gluten Intolerance in Celiac Sprue”.

Shortly after I moved to the US in early 2006 I bought a copy of the bestseller ‘The Why Cafe’ by John P Strelecky. I forget now what question prompted me to e-mail the author, but e-mail him I did and asked for some feedback. I was shocked when the reply came back within an hour suggesting we meet up for breakfast the following week. I’d no idea that John lived literally less than 5 minutes down the road from me, he could have been anywhere on the planet for all I knew. Life is weird like that sometimes, eh? A couple of years later and I was playing golf with John when I asked him what his next book was going to...

It’s February 2nd, which means it’s another Groundhog Day! It’s my favorite holiday because it’s silly and it’s also easy to remember. It’s the day that I officially declare my new year’s resolutions. I call them Groundhog Day Resolutions. As I’ve written before, the traditional date of January 1st for making resolutions is the worst time to do it. These days, the end of the year is when we are our most frazzled. We’re dealing with holidays, family, and end-of-year accounting all at the same time. The beginning of the new year is spent closing last year’s danglin...

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post from Tyler Tervooren of Advanced Riskology. I used to have a lot of bad habits. I still do, but I used to have a lot more. Here’s just a small sampling: I woke up late and went to bed early. I procrastinated on my most important work. I neglected my relationships. I drank too much. I bit my fingernails. I slouched a lot. I picked my nose (no joke). I bought worthless things I didn’t need. I chewed with my mouth open. I dressed like a slob. I ate tons of junk food. I could go on, but none of that’s incredibly important. What’s important is that I used to have a...

3 Healthy Ways to Satisfy Your CravingsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Let’s face it – You don’t have to be pregnant to know what it’s like to crave salty potato chips or sweet ice cream. The fact of the matter is that everyone has a craving now and then. But did you know your cravings might actually mean something? Usually, when we crave a certain food, it’s because our body is telling us it needs a specific nutrient. You can go ahead and give into that craving to satisfy your body, but it’s important to know why you are craving a certain food and then choose the healthier alternative. Your system, and your waistline, will thank you for choosing the healthy way out. Craving Salty...

6 Clever Countertop Storage IdeasEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Organizing your life involves managing your time, priorities, energy and taking control of your living and storage spaces. If your idea of storage only includes furniture, closets, drawers and cabinets, you’re overlooking one of the most obvious and fun storage options available: Display storage. Display storage seems counterintuitive to organization because it involves storing things on countertops, window sills, and other surfaces in plain view. I bet you’re thinking, “Cool! My house isn’t actually cluttered, I’m just using the display storage method!” Hold your horses. You can’t just fill up all your ava...

I left my job as an IT manager in corporate America in June of 2010.

I wasn’t the perfect sender (or receiver for that matter) but the most important messages I sent typically got a response in the time frame I needed a response in. I believe it’s because I found a secret formula that I used each time I sent an important message. I’ve broken that down so you can use it to send important emails to your customers, whether you’re a corporate citizen or a free...

Eventually, all ten of the plates are spinning away, each with its own momentum” Creating multiple streams of income is key ...

Post written by Leo Babauta. We are often afraid of silence, because its emptiness feels idle, boring, unproductive, and scary. And so we fill our lives with chaos, noise, clutter. But silence can be lovely, and therapeutic, and powerful. It can be the remedy for our stress and the habits that crush us. If we want quiet in our lives, how do we create it? I’ve been exploring this myself. As a father of six kids, I have to admit that I don’t always have silence in my life.

What is Carb Cycling?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I’ve been searching for a good diet and exercise program for the New Year. I’ve looked at some of the latest research and results that different plans have been getting. My search led me to the concept of Carb-Cycling, which has been used by bodybuilders for years. In a nutshell, carb cycling boils down to… On weight training days you have more carbohydrates, On non weight training days you have less carbohydrates. This simple concept allows your body maximum calorie burning efficiency and helps your system maintain a high metabolic rate On the surface this looks really easy, but as I have dug deeper into the plans...

Whether you have just started in the world of work or a seasoned professional, establishing a successful work-life balance can prove difficult challenge. Having a good work life balance is a huge factor in your general happiness and well being.

Opting Out of Holiday Gift ExchangesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Today I told my family that I’m permanently opting out of buying/giving/receiving gifts for all future birthdays & holidays. Many people grow up with holiday traditions that center around buying and exchanging gifts with family members. I enjoyed and appreciated this when I was younger, and I have many fond memories about it. These days it no longer resonates with me though. It’s not a good fit for my values. I feel it’s time to make a conscious choice here and drop this tradition from my life. Gift giving is a popular love strategy that means a lot to certain people. I respect that. But it’s no...

What's Wrong With The Obvious?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Since 1998, I've been helping people take control of their lives at home and at work and it has been consistently gratifying. There are times when I believe people call me at their wits' end, hoping and praying that I'll have magic words and maybe a few spells and potions that will fix their organizing problems. But I'm about to tell you a secret. I'm not magic. None of us in the organizing industry are. The success I've had working with clients over the years comes from a number of factors including asking the right questions, finding the root causes of a situation and creating processes to remedy the problem. Organizing...

Notice: Broken RSS FeedEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Thanks to Elaine and Jim for pointing out that my RSS feed seems to have stopped functioning. I’m using Feedburner, an RSS Feed manager that allows me to see the number of subscribers, and it seems stuck no matter what I do. I’m trying to restore function without breaking the existing subscriptions. The official davidseah.com feed URL is http://davidseah.com/feed. Incidentally, the journal feeds are NOT included in the main feed; I’ll look at rolling-up a separate feed for everything that doesn’t depend on a third-party service. UPDATE: The feed caching problem didn’t show up when debugging i...

How Your Friends Can Help You Reach Your GoalsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Whatever your plans are for the coming year, your friends can help. You might be reluctant to let them. Perhaps you feel that accepting help will lessen your own achievement – or you’re worried that your friends might laugh at your goals and ambitions. You might think that asking for help is futile: the people you know might not possess the skills or knowledge that would be valuable to you. The truth is, no-one achieves much if they work entirely alone. And by allowing others to help, you not only increase your chances of success, you also reinforce your relationship with them. Even if your friends can’t offe...

Distressful situations are a fact of life- a human predicament that seems hell-bent on blocking our attempts towards personal nirvana and impairing our ability to function. Though it may be unpleasant to have to stop and collect yourself in response to a personal difficulty, there may be times when you may not even have that “luxury.” If you find yourself in an usually stressful or painful situation, yet still need to maintain some level of performance in either your personal or professional life, then keep the following four tips in mind: 1. Give yourself some slack! The very first step towards staying productive when...

How to Build and Stick to Your Exercise RoutineEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Most of us need to exercise more.

You might manage to get to the gym three times a week at first, but soon, you’re back to going a couple of times a month at best.But you’re not lazy and you don’t lack willpower.

Approach AnxietyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Several months ago I was speaking with my friend Morty Lefkoe about fears and limiting beliefs that I noticed among my readers. I shared with him that one of the biggest problem areas was approach anxiety. While many readers appear to be very social online, it’s common for them to be pretty socially timid in person — I know this quite well from interacting with them both online and face to face. Social timidity is frequently a result of approach anxiety. Instead of proactively approaching new people to form connections (for friendship, dating, networking, etc), these people often hold back. There can be a varie...

The Habits That Crush UsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
‘Don’t panic.’ ~Douglas Adams Post written by Leo Babauta. Why is it that we cannot break the bad habits that stand in our way, crushing our desires to live a healthy life, be fit, simplify, be happier? How is it that our best intentions are nearly always beaten? We want to be focused and productive, exercise and eat healthy foods, stop smoking and learn to get rid of debt and clutter, but we just can’t. The answer lies in something extremely simple, but something most people aren’t aware of: We don’t know how to cope with stress and boredom in a healthy way. The bad habits we’ve f...
