Artificial Intelligence What is everyone’s thoughts on artificial intelligence? Everyday there seems to be some new innovation that might boost efficiency in the workforce but could also be taking jobs. Like many things it could very well be a blessing and a curse.

Procrastination 08/03/2023

Procrastination Hello Tippers! Goal setting and being consistent is important in all aspects of life but to effectively do that you have to overcome the greatest hurdle of all, procrastination.

How does getting distracted impact us in our daily lives and have you heard the saying "how you do one thing is how you do everything?" If you are getting distracted in one aspect of your life, you may very well be getting distracted elsewhere. If you keep pushing things off, they will begin to stack up and only add more stress. We all have a lot going on in our lives but you need to find a way to lock in when you need to. Tippers, what are some ways you prevent procrastination?

Do Not Ask Questions if You Can’t Handle the Truth 07/31/2023

Do Not Ask Questions if You Can’t Handle the Truth Hi Tippers! How is life treating everyone? I don’t know about you but we get very annoyed when people ask us questions that they really don’t want to hear the answer to. Sometimes even those closest to you might not take it well when you are brutally honest. For example, don’t be asking your partner about their exes and don’t go asking super personal questions when you are with a group of people. Be thoughtful with your questions and consider the outcomes before you say something you might already know the answer to. Instagram: YouTube: /episode/index/show/tippingthescalestl/id/27608460
