Thanks for stopping by to check out my blog. My name is Robert Britt, and I’ll be your host for the remainder of the flight. I am a writer, actor and comedian and for fun I like to do consulting work for manufacturing facilities. Feel free to book me for any of the above. This blog is filled with my observations, rants and soliloquies. (I don’t even know what that last one means)
Check things out and be sure to bookmark, comment and return often.
So how do I mean that? Is it to be a post about training your thoughts, so you can focus better and not stray around the block (and around the web) when you should be concentrating, or will it be about the training I do?
Well, a little bit of both. Today was the orientation session for my new job. I am excited to take this training on EPIC and to get to training other folks. Should be interesting. New stuff for me and I will get to have days where I go home clean. yay for that.
On the other point, I need to get more focused on the writing and net stuff that I do since I will be outta here for 40 plus hours a week.
The best thing I’ve found is to close my browsers and my email. That “forces” me to concentrate on the task at hand, specifically writing articles for our various websites, blog posts here and there, and especially working on the new screenplay. I’ve got over forty pages done now, so I am about at the midway point. Experts all say that a script should be ninety pages – that equates to a page a minute, but you know when you describe a fight scene in a couple sentences, or a car chase, those few sentences could turn into ten minutes on film.
Anyway, concentration and focus. My main focus has to be getting through the EPIC classes and passing the tests to get to be an authorized trainer. After that, six months or more at MUSC and then who knows? Maybe they offer me a job. Maybe I get head-hunted again.
Oh, and I was reading an article on Harvard Business Review on “what to do with your hands while you are teaching?” The whole debate was that some people speak with their hands and some don’t. The article concludes that you should do what comes naturally to you and not be overly concerned. Hand movement doesn’t impact learning ability. So, why write an article that promises to answer the great debate with “whatever.” Seemed a waste of my time. Sort of like this paragraph was to you, except at least my conclusion came quickly. Just goes to show you that just because an article appears on a website with the word Harvard in it, that doesn’t mean diddley.
