Facebook has a nice chat feature built in.  You can see who is online and chat with them by clicking on their name in the chat list.  But what if you don’t want to be chatted with?  What if you’re signed in to Facebook but you don’t want to be interrupted?  What if you’re in an antisocial mood on one of the world’s largest social networks?

The answer is easy.  You can switch to ‘offline’ mode.  Offline mode makes you appear to be offline and thus unavailable for chat.   To see an example of how to switch to offline mode, check out the video below.

Enjoy!

Everything Counts

As I finalize my goals for 2010 I ran across a Top 10 list that really sums up how I personally feel about goal setting. Everything you do in life counts so make the right choices. When I reach for that fourth piece of chocolate or decide to turn my car towards home verses taking a right to the gym… it is all about choices. Even though one of my long standing goals is to get in shape I choose on a daily basis to derail myself. Why do I do that? Unfortunately it is easier, less painful and more ‘in the moment’ satisfying. Life has become too much about instant gratification. 2010 will be about hard choices. The choices that reach my goals but might be a little tougher, cause a few sore muscles, or not excite my taste buds as much.

Here are my top Choices for 2010:

• I will say no to that 3rd piece of chocolate. (I need to take baby steps on this goal)

• I will take that right to the gym at least 3 times a week!

• I will leave the office by 8pm even if the world as we know it will fall apart.

• I will break down and buy a new car. (Even though mine is perfectly fine contrary to what you would hear from my co-workers)

• I will take a class this year to expand my knowledge – even if it is basket weaving.

This is just a snippet of what is on my list for 2010 but if I can accomplish these top 5 I will have conquered the demons and made some great choices. Click on the link below to read more about goals, choices and why Everything Counts!
