Finding the right balance invariably comes into conversation when I work with clients. This month I’ll share with you a tip for your work, yourself, and your environment.

No Time to Open All Those Emails
Here’s a quick tip to put into practice immediately, to save precious time when managing your emails. EOM — End of Message. Use this in the subject line to signal the recipient of your emails that they don’t have to open up the email. All they need to know is in the subject line of your email.

This works nicely for things like. “See you Friday at 11:00 am. EOM”, “Congratulations on a great job!. EOM”. Forward this email tip and get organized.

When time is limited, every second, or in this case, every click counts.

No Time to Exercise
One of the common comments that clients share with me is not having enough time for all their to-do’s, not to mention carving out time for themselves to exercise and reduce stress. With this challenge in mind, I approached Innergy Corporate Yoga for a solution.

Innergy provides affordable on-site corporate yoga and pilates classes in the workplace, to help employees “innergize” their bodies and reduce stress. They come to you, so how convenient is that?

This month, I signed up for a private class with Innergy, to experience all the benefits of yoga, at my convenience. My instructor is going to come right to my home and teach me for a full 60 minutes. No more excuses that I can’t make it to a class or don’t have the time.

I work with clients who have challenges focusing on their overwhelming priorities. They keep so busy that they forget about themselves. I’m a culprit to this myself. Innergy advises that “Yoga teaches you to reconnect to your breath, tune into what your body needs and just be in the moment. Not to mention yoga makes you strong and flexible!”

Stay tuned in next month’s issue, where I will let you know about my experience.

If finding time in a busy workday to exercise is a challenge for you, sign up for two corporate or private classes, receive your third free. And if you don’t enjoy the first class, it’s free. Contact Innergy Corporate Yoga for more information. Let them know that Out of Chaos sent you.

No More Filling the Landfill with Inkjet Cartridges
I recently toured the new Grand & Toy store downtown on Granville Street. Many of you may still think that they are for big business, but you will be nicely surprised to see their complete solutions for small businesses.

One such solution is their Refill, Recycle, Reuse program for inkjet cartridges.

Did you know?

• 3 ounces of oil goes into manufacturing an ink cartridge, not to mention energy consumption to manufacture, package, and distribute.
• In the US alone, over 350,000,000 cartridges are disposed of annually. If laid end to end, the cartridges would encircle the world 3 times!
• Disposed cartridges represent almost 60,000 tons of landfill plastic, which would take 1000 years to break down.

Stop filling the landfill with your used cartridges. Consider Grand & Toy’s in-store Ink Refill Service. Your efforts could make a dent in the over 1,000,000 inkjet cartridges that are thrown away every day.
