Curbside Book Pickup
Made a local bookstore run this morning for a curbside pickup of the some books I ordered.
The store called and asked if I wanted them mailed. I told them I'd come by.
The haul? Churchill's books on the First World War and a book on Arizona politics.
Am already planning my next order.
This will keep me from squandering the money on food.

Modern Times Require Flexibility
All of my leadership and management workshops through August have been canceled.
September is still hanging in but who knoweth?
Fortunately, the one-on-one coaching part of my practice is still done via Zoom and, to an increasing degree, in-person sessions in sanitized conference rooms where proper distance is maintained.
Coaching is the new wave. Aside from having fewer virus complications than a workshop, the coaching sessions are, if anything, even more necessary nowadays due to new management challenges. The sessions certainly take less time than a class. Specific problems and individual concerns can be addressed.
It will be strange for a while but we'll get through this.
In the meantime, I'm booking my "down time" for reading and research.
"The Show Must Go On!"
As commerce resumes in the months ahead, how will dancers, actors, and athletes perform in intimate concert halls and theater quarters and arenas? Assuming that those onstage are healthy and Covid-19 free, the audience will hold the key. Since audiences make up the majority of people at any performance, keeping ill spectators away will serve as the next great battle in the performing arts. After 9/11, performance venues replicated airports’ screening process by prohibiting certain items and checking all bags. In a post-coronavirus country, it’s plausible that venues will arm employees with forehead thermometers to ensure a fever-free audience.

Interruptions: The Time Gobblers
"Got a minute?"
Most people suspected that interruptions gobbled up a lot of time during the work day. Now that many of them are working from home, I keep getting reports from coaching clients about how much more they are getting done since they are no longer beset by time gobblers.
The problem of interruptions has been dramatically exposed during the pandemic.
The problem was suspected before, but now it has been accused, tried, and convicted.
