However with live streams returning it will be on Saturday afternoons @ 1 pm EST and when it comes to the events season I may need to change that up possibly as I am usually out and about at these events and something to address down the road but in time we can figure that out eventually just not at this time. Anyways that is the post for today and as always talk to you all tomorrow.

Also I find that I need to add in more staff on the kitchen of things so this game really makes you think and strategize which way to go next and this is why I like the simulator games is it keeps my mind going all the time. There is so much to do and upgrade on the game I will be playing for weeks. I am having so much fun with the game and expect some more updates in the future. So the game I would give it a 15 out of 10 as it exceeds the expectations and as always talk to you all tomorrow.
Chris
YES, I am 100% sure and maybe that is what has been stressing me out the additional shows? I do not know honestly but least now I can focus on what has become successful and the other project that is in Pre-Production as we move quickly for a September launch and maybe I will talk about it tomorrow on the blog to officially announce the project. Anyways that is the bonus blog to make it up for yesterday and as always talk to you all tomorrow.

SO with this section completed and now active I have moved to "The Entertainment Man Talk Show" Phase which is the next step and will take me some time to download those videos and edit and get them ready for the website. Once that is done then we will release all 4 seasons and will be under series to gear up for the 20th anniversary of the series special that Eric and I are planning to do as it has become overdue for a reunion with some but more details are coming.
Chris
This year, the talks have gotten strong to quite strong and Eric approached me and we want to talk about a documentary they are doing about our home town, Oshawa and we are excited to cover it and discuss everything. I am not ready for all of the details as of it but it will be a mini series depending how many episodes we do but a 5th season will be happening even if it is a short 10 episode season. Either way we are back in the saddle it has been 10 years too late, we should have brought it back. One thing rest assures that Larry and Justin have no clue about this returning and if they have noticed any of the news that's spread around like a wild fire. Also the old series will have it's own page from 2008 - 2016 and 2026 - Present. Also I have named the series "The Entertainment Man Talk Show- THE RETURN" whether a season 6 is in ther works, time will tell later on with the views.
Have a great weekend!

For ambitious professionals balancing work, relationships, and health, individual self-improvement can start to feel like a second job with no off switch. The core tension is simple: the drive for sustainable personal development often turns into pressure to optimize everything, and that pressure creates personal growth obstacles like all-or-nothing routines, constant self-criticism, and the quiet guilt of falling behind. These long-term growth challenges don’t mean motivation is broken; they usually mean the approach isn’t built to last. A steadier way of growing makes avoiding burnout part of the process.
Sustainable growth happens when you stop treating improvement like an emergency and start running it like a steady system. Use these five foundations to keep progress real, measurable, and recoverable.
Set one SMART “North Star” goal (and one supporting habit): Pick a single outcome to aim at for the next 6–8 weeks, then write it in a SMART format (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound). Add one daily or weekly habit that clearly feeds it, so you’re not relying on motivation. If you’re stuck, start with crafting a personal vision statement so your goal is tied to a real “why,” not a temporary burst of pressure.
Time-block three “minimum viable” growth sessions per week: Instead of cramming, schedule 3 sessions of 25–45 minutes on your calendar and protect them like appointments. Define what “done” looks like for each session before you start (example: “outline two pages” or “complete one practice set”), which prevents endless tinkering. This supports the sprint-to-marathon shift: consistency beats heroic effort, especially when life gets busy.
Create non-negotiable self-care baselines (sleep, food, movement): Choose a floor you can keep even on stressful weeks: a consistent bedtime window, a simple breakfast plan, and 10–20 minutes of movement most days. Treat these as performance requirements, not rewards you earn after grinding, burnout often starts when recovery becomes optional. If your plan requires sacrificing sleep repeatedly, the plan is too aggressive, not you too “undisciplined.”
Use a 5-minute mindfulness reset to stop stress from hijacking the day: Once a day, do five minutes of slow breathing or a basic body-scan: notice tension, relax your jaw/shoulders, return attention to the breath. The benefit isn’t “being calm all the time”, it’s catching overwhelm early so you make better choices with time, food, and focus. Use it before your growth session or right after a stressful message, so you don’t carry that intensity into everything else.
Rotate growth activities to keep momentum without overload: Build a simple rotation across 3 lanes, skills (learning), body (health), and relationships/emotions (connection), and focus on two lanes per week. Example: Week A is “skills + body,” Week B is “skills + relationships,” with the third lane on maintenance. This reduces the all-or-nothing trap and keeps improvement diversified, which makes setbacks in one area less likely to derail the whole plan.
Run a weekly 15-minute review and adjust the “pace,” not the identity: Once a week, answer three questions: What moved forward? What felt heavy? What’s the smallest change that makes next week easier? If you missed sessions, shrink the session length before you blame yourself, burnout-proof plans adapt. Over time, this review becomes the backbone for a realistic weekly learning rhythm that still builds serious skills.
When your goals, time, and self-care are aligned, a structured learning track can add momentum without taking over your life. Earning a degree online is one way to build long-term growth with built-in flexibility and accessibility. Because you can study from anywhere and move at your own pace, it’s often easier to fit coursework around work and family commitments, while still strengthening time management and self-discipline. If you want a clear, career-relevant direction, a computer science program can translate directly into practical skills in IT and programming, alongside the theory that helps you understand how systems and software work. Exploring a distance computer science degree can show what that path looks like in a format designed for learners who need adaptability.
Small, consistent habits protect your energy while still moving you forward. When the routine is clear and forgiving, you can build skills, confidence, and follow-through without relying on constant motivation.
What it is: Pick three priorities and do one 25-minute focus session.
How often: Daily, weekdays.
Why it helps: It creates progress without overloading your schedule.
What it is: Schedule a real break, like the 2000 UK workers took less than half their holiday reminder.
How often: Weekly.
Why it helps: Planned rest lowers the chance of slow, sneaky burnout.
What it is: Do a 10-minute walk, stretch, or beginner strength circuit.
How often: Three times weekly.
Why it helps: Movement improves mood and supports better sleep.
What it is: Write two lines: what worked and what to change.
How often: Nightly.
Why it helps: You learn faster without harsh self-judgment.
What it is: Rehearse one polite “not now” sentence for requests.
How often: Weekly.
Why it helps: It protects time for growth and recovery.
Q: What if resting makes me “lazy” or less driven?
A: Rest is a performance tool, not a character flaw. Treat recovery like maintenance that protects your focus and mood, so you can show up consistently. Start small with one protected hour weekly and keep it non negotiable.
Q: How do I rebuild momentum after I miss a week?
A: Restart with the smallest version of the habit for three days in a row, even if it feels easy. Keep the goal to “re establish the pattern,” not to catch up. After three days, gently increase time or difficulty.
Q: When does “push through” become burnout territory?
A: It becomes risky when you are sacrificing sleep, skipping meals, or feeling dread before starting. Use a simple rule: if stress is rising and results are flat, reduce the load by 20 to 30 percent for a week.
Q: Can I work on multiple goals at once without crashing?
A: You can, but only if one goal is clearly primary and the others are maintenance level. The claim that focusing on one change boosts follow through by 2.5× supports keeping your main bet simple.
Q: Should failure mean I stop or change direction?
A: Failure is feedback, not a verdict. A growth mindset is not only about the effort; review what happened and adjust the strategy. Pick one tweak, run it for a week, and evaluate again.
Personal growth can start to feel like a tug-of-war: push hard for change, then crash and lose the thread. The steadier path is sustainable self-growth built on realistic expectations, compassion, and consistency, an approach that protects maintaining development momentum even when life gets messy. Over time, adopting effective habits this way turns effort into a personal development summary that reflects long-term progress motivation, not short-lived intensity. Consistency with recovery beats perfection with burnout. Choose your next two steps to start this week, small enough to repeat, meaningful enough to notice. That’s how growth becomes resilient, supporting health, performance, and connection for the long run.

This is likely an issue local to your browser, device, or network. Our scope of support for such issues is limited, but I can suggest some general troubleshooting tips.
To figure out which one is causing the issue, try to load your site on different browsers, devices, and networks to the one you’re currently using.
If your site loads in a different browser, the original browser may be the issue. Try clearing the cache.
If it loads on another device, ensure your device’s operating system is up to date and try disconnecting and reconnecting to the internet on your device.
To check if your site loads on a different network, try disconnecting from the wifi an hotspotting using your phone’s data. If your site loads on the alternative network, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may be incorrectly blocking your site.
However I tested all all of it out and once again have reached out to them again. Will report back when I get a little information or have it fixed. Talk to you all tomorrow.
Chris
As you know The CBOTW Show- Reality TV Recap's Dancing With The Stars- The Next PRO was original schedule for Fridays @ 6 pm EST and to be honest and I felt like before consulting the hosts on our Hosting team that things were cramped together and I will talk about it on the blog tomorrow for you guys and those who have followed us since the beginning almost 12 years ago I am a stickler for spreading things out. Anyways we are moving the Dancing with the Stars- The NEXT PRO to Tuesdays for recording and episodes to be released on Wednesday evenings @ 6 pm EST. I hope you guys are happy with it and as always talk to you all tomorrow.
Chris
However, this doesn't mean you guys need to be rude. There is only so much we can do in a day. We have to maintain the website, create content like the blogs you read on a daily basis, the pocasts the just chatting streams on social media and much more. So please but kind and be patient with us as we resolve some of the issues you may be experiencing and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!
Chris
So it's been about a month and a bit that it has been vacant for quite some time for us. So has it worked with no CEO? Yes! With the Founders keeping an eye on things with the operations and honestly without a leader I think is the best move and the amount of stress and pressure has been lowered then normal so it has helped and we plan on keeping it this way for the foreseeable future. We are all pitching in to assure the company continues on with it's success. Anyways that is the post for this Saturday, enjoy the rest of your weekend and talk to you all on Monday.
Chris
Sticky notes is another way we are staying organized along with our calendar and my assistant also has tabs on everything and she keeps me in line when it comes to my workload on a day to day basis especially if I am out of the studio for the day, it will be marked in the calendar. She also keeps tabs on the two Calendly links plus emails plus my calendar and we are just on track. Anyways that is the final post for the week and as always I will talk to you all on Monday.
Have a great weekend!
Chris
