Inkjet printers are very reasonably priced these days. Sure, for a big corporate printer you'll have to shell out a pretty penny, but for a simple machine that does the works, you shouldn't have to spend over $100. That's quite an improvement from just a decade ago!
Printer ink cartridges are recyclable. Especially with the latest recycling laws in place, it is even easier to recycle your inkjet cartridges than ever before. You can send them into the PrintCountry Recycle Program, drop them off at your local supply store or wait for the waste round-up in your neighborhood.
While laser printers are more expensive, their ink is cheaper than that of an inkjet printer. However, inkjet printers don't need to warm up before they print. It's all a balancing act, really. Inkjet cartridges also tend to be more expensive, but the initial investment is cheaper. Again, it all depends on your needs and what you can afford at the time of purchase.
One thing to keep away from printed documents is water. Of course saturating paper in water is going to ruin it, but even a drop of water on an inkjet printed page can cause blurring of the ink. However, if you've ever gotten ink on your hands or clothes, you're surely happy for its water soluble nature at that point, huh?
You can buy OEM or refurbish printer ink cartridges for a fraction of the manufacturer brand's cost and still experience the same quality of print outs. So if you were discouraged about that ?printer ink cartridges are expensive? comment made above, don't be. I was referring to the manufacturer brand cartridges, not generic ink cartridges.
Printers do not just use ink these days, either. A whole host of new products use mixtures of sugar and even chocolate to make edible printouts. Now you can't go and submit your thesis in chocolate ink, but it sure is fun for cake decoration and other confectionary treats.
More importantly, however, printers are not just for work or school anymore. You can use your home printer to print out flyers, newsletters, posters, photos and anything else you'd like with relative ease. Don't forget to buy some recycled paper and an OEM printer ink cartridge before you go hog wild with all of the printer functions! You'll save money and do your part for the environment at the same time
Do you take on different games in your life? Like making your goals into a game? I always teach my clients to have fun and be playful with their goals. I encourage them to make it a game and be creative, this makes the whole process more enjoyable for them.
A lot of times we wait for the things we want and desire to show up in our lives. You know, waiting for that knock on your door and hear, "hello I am the dream job you have been waiting for". This is unrealistic and causes you to feel disappointment when it does not show up in your life.
In a game YOU show up ready to play. This is a very different approach then waiting for things to happen and being a spectator. When playing a game there are only two outcomes, win or lose. The important thing is that you play by the rules and you play to win. If you do not win it is not the end of the world. If anything you now know what not to do the next time you play.
When you turn your goals in life into a game it makes taking risks easier. When you approach a goal without the game mentality, you focus on all the hard work you will have to put into it. You focus on the risk of what you may lose if you try and fail and you start to dread it. Choosing to have your goals be a game puts your focus on the journey and having fun. You learn and look for how you can play better and improve your game.
When starting to play a game think about what is at stake for you, if you win or lose? For example, I am in a seminar right now and what is at stake for me in playing the game of the seminar is that I create a move to Athens that is smooth and peaceful. Every time I play all out I learn something that will help me for my move.
Thinking about what is at stake helps me stay on track. When I find myself procrastinating or making up excuses I ask myself "does that help me create the move I want?" Then I get playing again. I get creative with my games and post them up around my office so I am constantly reminded of them. I also share it with people in my life so that they can support me and hold me accountable.
Your assignment for this week: Come up with a game to play. Start by picking a goal you want to achieve but that you have been dragging your feet on starting. Make up a game, includes the rules, measurable outcomes, and what action you as the player need to take in order to win. Get in the habit of recoding how your game is going on a daily basis.
