You Don’t Need Super Powers to Solve a Problem

When I think of strategy teams, this comes to mind.

The Mighty Ducks helmed by Emilio Estevez
The Bad News Bears

The A-Team
G-Force
Power Rangers

Lit Maven read this awesome possum article Strategy Challenges and thought…”can I use this idea in the schools?”

Yes of course. I can’t do it ALL!!! Surely not.

But if you assess yourself, target the weak areas and find people to fill the gaps you have the MIGHTY!!!

So next time you sit alone hashing out a problem, remember about the great teams of TV/Movie past and recruit!

Snain Snain …Go Away!


This week we had…SNAIN…

You know snow and rain…equals SNAIN.

The first impulse was to get angry. How dare those weather gods?

I snuggled up with my laptop and soon realized that the data gods were also impeding my plans.

The more I read, the angrier I got. Nothing new…or nothing exciting…blah.

SO, I decided to take an internet diet on Sunday. I went and cleaned up my son’s room. For some reason, it felt better to clean and therefore cleanse my thoughts too.

Seth Godin makes a good point in today’s article.

“Twice as much email, twice as many friend requests, twice as many sites to check, twice as many devices.”-Seth Godin

Information and even a lack of new information can be overwhelming.

I think by going on an internet diet, I was able to focus on the day, the task, the moment. Balance is key…

Thanks for listening,
