by Marlene ChismInstead of trying to lose twenty pounds for your New Year’s resolution, what if you decided to give up eleven habits that keep you stuck in your relationships at home and at work. Here are eleven things, in the form of mindsets, habits and behaviors to give up in 2011.1. Give up the need to control

Hoboken IT Firm Honored Yet Again; Plus, Reasons to Get Off the Couch This WeekendAt the invitation of eMazzanti CEO Carl Mazzanti, About Town enjoyed the chance to tour its office on Grand Street.The first thing we thought when taking a glance at all the high tech equipment in use and on display is, “we just walked into the 22nd century.”Each of the eMazzanti employees navigates between four large flat panel computer screens, each screen providing different content for enhanced productivity. Carl Mazzanti himself works on an impressive eight screens arrangement, piled two high across four rows.

The company loves giving tours to potential clients, and they feature a digital projection screen that allows for presentations and connects wirelessly to laptops. Along different walls are mounted computer monitors featuring up-to-the-minute details of the company’s daily, weekly, monthly and yearly performance, software gadgets which eMazzanti later offers to clients. Carl Mazzanti also showed us how he and his team connected their work hard drives, video game consoles and a huge music database of 20,000 songs to a central station. Employees can even synchronize their home computers to pull from the business database.
