Summer vacation is finally here and your kids have permanently implanted themselves in the couch, eyes glued to the television, with no sign of moving for the next three months.
When kids do absolutely nothing over the holidays, they not only forget what they have learned in school but they get out of the habit of learning and find it difficult to start their schoolwork again in the fall.
Sometimes with all of the buzzing, dinging, ringing, and beeping of all the separate devices in your life you can feel like you are living within a video arcade with hundreds of overactive pinball machines.
Your phone jingles whenever you get a text message, your laptop dings when a new email arrives, and your Facebook, Twitter, and other social media websites also join in the buzzing chaos.
We have gotten in the habit of checking these notifications every few minutes, no matter if they are important or not.
It can be incredibly difficult to focus when you are constantly being distracted by a host of jangling devices, so how can you manage your notifications so that they don’t interrupt your work flow?
The job interview is one of the most important parts of applying for a job and the first impression that you make in this interaction is mostly what the employer will be basing their decision on.
That is why it is very important that you present yourself professionally in your job interview so that you can really impress the employer.
However, there are a few major mistakes that many people make in job interviews that can really damage their chances of getting hired.

When you know what these things are you can mix them up to create stylish outfits that are guaranteed to look good!
Scientists have reported that Americans spend approximately 16 minutes on average per day searching for lost items, which adds up to a full year of our lives.

Did you know that April is National Volunteer Month?

Throughout your life you will always have time where you need to study to pass a course to progress forward to your goals.
Whether it is high school, university, an apprenticeship, or a training course required for your career, you will need to show that you can learn the material and demonstrate your knowledge.

Guess what? If you don’t make time to focus on these dreams, they will never happen.
