Have you ever been surprised at how much you can fit in when you’re at a conference? When we have a schedule provided for us, we manage to get from one event to the next at the right time; the imposition of external timings means that even if we’d like to stick with one task a little longer, we move on quickly. We deal with emails in brief breaks, sending shorter replies than usual, ditching any junk without even opening it. http://www.pickthebrain.com/blog/how-to-make-a-schedule-you-can-stick-to/

How to Make a Schedule You Can Stick To - PickTheBrain | Motivation and Self Improvement

If you’re anything like me, there are a lot of things that you’d like to do, but somehow you never have enough time to actually do them. Perhaps you want to learn something new, or you want to start a new projects. I used to have the same problem, and even though I’ve not yet figured out how to do everything I want, I’m pretty happy with the system I’m currently using. Note that I included only the things that I really want to do right now in my life. There are other things that I’d like to do like learning new languages or practicing some new sport, but these are the ones that I genuinely want to do right now in my life. Now it’s time to figure out how much time you’d ideally want to spend on each activity on your list. http://freestylemind.com/too-much-things-you-want-to-do

How to Overcome Limiting Beliefs | Illuminated Mind

http://www.illuminatedmind.net/2010/07/16/limiting-beliefs/ The beliefs you hold to be true make up the fabric of your experience. The stronger those beliefs, the more they seemunshakeable, and the more you will find evidence to support them. What most people don’t realize is that the vast majority of our beliefs about the world are not really true “out there.”
When you let circumstances dictate when and how you will act, they will never be exactly as you want them to be. When you’re waiting for opportunities to show up, they rarely do. When you wait for the right people to contact you, they may or may not. There’s a big difference between seeking resources and being resourceful. Seeking resources works some of the time. When the tools you need are easily within your reach, everything works out.

The Happiness Project: Relationships: 8 tips for finding the right thing to say in a difficult situation.

I often feel like I don’t know the right thing to say. I’ll be desperate to find the right words, but in a tough situation, I just don’t know what to say to make a person feel better. I often find myself switching the topic of the conversation — so quickly that I’ve changed it before I realize what I’ve done. I’ve been trying to come up with some tips to help me figure out what to say. This is what I’ve figured out so far:

How to handle chronic complainers

Got any chronic complainers where you work? It seems like every workplace has them – the people for whom the weather is always too warm or too cold, the boss is a jerk, the food is lousy, work sucks and … you fill out the list.

The Fifty Success Habits

So I thought that I might write a quick review of every self-help book ever written all right here in this one little post. Simple enough. I love the easy jobs. Surely it couldn’t be that hard, could it? I figured that maybe I could take the important lessons from every self-help book I’ve read and every life experience I’ve endured, condense all that into fifty key points and save everybody a whole bunch of reading time. Sure, global book sales in the self-help field might take a down-turn for a decade or so, but I’m willing to take that chance and put in a solid sixty minutes (or so) work for the good of humanity; my gift to mankind.
