Would you rather have all your thoughts displayed on a screen on your forehead or you could only tell the truth?  Would you rather be able to turn into an animal of your choice at any time or control the weather?  Would you rather move around like an inch worm or have to swallow your food by unhinging your jaw like a snake?  Would you rather kiss a wookie or deliver bad news to Darth Vader?  Would you rather be too naive or too cynical?  Would you rather be able to change TV channels by simply blinking your eyes, or magically always know what time it is?  Would you rather spend the night with Chris Brown in bed next to you, or share a cross country taxi ride with your worst enemy?  Would you rather date someone who talks to loudly or someone who looks like they are constantly staring?  Would you rather get your hand caught in the garbage disposal or notice a foreign object in your candy bar after you've already taken two big bites?  ...

Imagine how much you would accomplish at work if you truly focused for just one hour. Or two. Or three. No cell phone, no surfing the Internet, no Facebook. Just work. Wait. Isn't that what you're being paid to do? It is a rare person who can come to work and never be distracted. And while some interruptions aren't your fault -- such as a meeting your boss requires you to attend -- others you have only yourself to blame. CareerBuilder.com and Harris Poll surveyed 3,022 full-time, private sector workers nationwide across industries and company sizes to find out what causes us to waste the most time at work. One in four workers (24 percent) admitted that, during a typical workday, they will spend at least one hour a day on personal calls, e-mails or texts. 21% estimate that they spend one hour or more during a typical workday searching the Internet for non-work-related information, photos, etc. When asked what they consider to be the primary productivity stoppers in the workp...

Whether you enjoy posting public love notes to your sweetie, sharing your photos from that incredible trip to Tuscany or going on a political rant, what you put on your Facebook page reveals a lot more about you than you ever imagined. All those photos and posts expose something about you that you might not like to have divulged to strangers: a hard and fast description of your personality. That's the conclusion of psychologists from Brunel University London, who collected data from 555 Facebooks users. All completed an online survey measuring the "Big Five" personality traits -- extroversion, neuroticism, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness. The survey also assessed self-esteem and narcissism. The research goal was to examine the personality traits and motives that influence the topics people choose to write about in their Facebook status updates, something that few previous studies have explored. What your Facebook posts reveal about you: If you are an extrove...

Chances are, you care about how you look. You should also care just as much about how you sound because you will be judged by others far more on that than on your fashion sense. Listen carefully to yourself when you're speaking. Do you use lazy words, such as "actually" or "like"? If so, it's time to stop. Overusing some words can make you sound stupid. Dictionary.com has identified five words that make you sound dumb. Use them at your own peril. 1. Actually This is a "crutch word" that we use either to give us more time to think or to emphasize a statement. It's a verbal tic because it does not add meaning to the sentence. Example: "Actually, I would like to see that movie tonight." 2. Literally You are only using this adverb correctly if it describes an action that occurs in a strict sense. But far too frequently, we use it to emphasize an exaggeration or a figurative statement. Example: "I literally watched a million hours o...

No, You May Not Juggle at Your Trial Meanwhile in Massachusetts... Orlando Melendez got some bad news. A judge has denied his request to juggle during his trial to show jurors he was just clowning around when he allegedly tried to rob a convenience store. Yes - juggle ! In his court petition, Melendez wrote of himself, "The keystone to his defense is: He's literally a clown!" But a judge said no way.
