Do you telephone people less than you use to?
Michael posted this question in Facebook, as you can see.
My response was as follows:
The HR guy, where I used to work, talking about email, ten+ years ago, was telling me that he thought informal communication was suffering badly.
In that respect email has transitioned into Social Media and has improved again.
I have great friends that I have never met!I think the phone as a verbal device, is now the casualty.
The phone is now the 'Smart'phone which is predominantly a non verbal device but it is dominating communication.
It will be interesting to see how that will swing back.'Swings and Roundabouts'
That’s how it occurs to me.
What do you think?

Musical Motivation
I was just listening to Kiki Dee 'Loving and Free' from her Amoureuse album.
Isn't wonderful how music can remind us of forgotten or significant times ?
Each is times-tamped within us and it always seems to show up when it is most needed.
This track was significant to me when I was having a tough time emotionally as a young adult – I was , truth be known, lonely and scared about that.
The fabulous words to this song took me onto something else in my life. They motivated me and I didn’t realise it at the time.
I have never been lonely since and I rarely experience being scared as a bad thing, more so a motivator
NLP Practitioners' will recognise that as an Anchor.
Tunes like this and Pick Up The Pieces by the Average White Band (My waiting in Queues enjoying time anchor) are my Ear Worms
Bound, I am bound, like a knot on a string
Eager to be where my life can begin
Out of the shadow and into the sun
So many things that I should have doneI will untangle myself, so that I can see
I will untangle myself, everything will be
Loving and freeBound I am bound, like a rope on a swing
Up in the air and then down again
Sure for the first time so clear in my mind
Wise to the feeling I gently unwind
Which music or tunes have driven you to a new experience?

The On Side as a Rule
I loved listening to Matt Kendall speak, the other night.
A man after my on heart!
I think of goals like Football Goals - fixed, solid and every chance of missing them usually resulting in stoppage time.
i.e. The game (life) requires minimal down time in my opinion
It is better to focus on your actions, skills and behaviour and bend it like Beckham
Its all about what you do, rather than what you plan
- JFDI!
- notice how good it feels and
- see what else you can do
As Landmark Education say:
SatisfACTION comes from being in action
