Can you really multi-task?

Posted in , , , , , , , , , ,

How many things can you do at one time? We often hear about people who can do more than one thing at a time; multi-tasking. I’m always so busy that I sometimes wish I had more arms so I could do more tasks. Instead of that, I delegate some of the tasks that need to…

Is it a journey or a race?

Posted in , , , , , , , , , ,

I know that we’ve been told many times that life is a journey; but is driving also a journey or is it a race? I witness many drivers who seem to be in a race. They weave in and out of traffic as if they are a current driver in the NASCAR series. What do…

Your right or mine?

Posted in , , , , , , ,

I recently had an e-mail from one of the participants of Canada’s Worst Driver asking me about right-of-way. He asked me who should get to go first at a stop sign. It was a good question, considering there are a lot of drivers out there who make this mistake on a regular basis. Are you…

I’m in the process of teaching my kids how to save their money. I want them to have spending money, but I also want them to understand how to save for bigger items. Saving money can be difficult for many people. One of the best lessons in business is if you want to increase your…

Would you buy me a new car?

Posted in , , , , , , ,

Do you remember your first car? I do and I loved it! This car only had lap belts for seatbelts and no airbags as they weren’t invented yet. Ok, now I feel old as I used ‘invented’ in a sentence. As a society, we’ve come a long way in our safety features on our vehicles….

Should I stop or should I go?

Posted in , , , , , , , ,

I believe that following rules of the road will keep us safe as drivers, but sometimes there are times you need to think outside the box. Red lights mean stop, but is there ever a time that stopping would be unsafe? Let’s stop and take a look at what I mean. I was approaching a…

Where’s your escape?

Posted in , , , , ,

Knowing where to go and what to do in an emergency is key for survival. What about you while you’re in traffic? Do you know where your escape is? Drivers tend to wait until the last moment before they do something about a problem. The danger with that is they may not have a place…
