Helpful Tip
Get tough work done 
in the morning.
One way to up productivity: Challenge everyone to tackle their hardest task first thing 
in the morning. They're more productive first thing in the morning, so they'll do their best on those projects. Plus, once the hard work is out of the way, they're more likely to keep the motivational ball rolling 
and finish more work.

Bert's Joke of the Month
Exercise For People Over 50
#1. Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
#2. With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.
#3. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags.
#4. Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. 
#5. After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.
