My name is Jordan Lejuwaan and I am an efficiency addict. I am zero days sober thanks to a recent discovery, and you can be too. I love what I do so sometimes I’ll work 4-5 hours straight without stopping. As with anything, the law of diminishing returns applies after about 30 minutes. I gradually slow down and become less enthusiastic, creative and focused with the work at-hand. Epiphany #1

When I decided to get my memory and learning speed handled, I was not interested in some little fix or some minor improvement. I wanted to get a truly massive result, extremely fast so I could memorize any type of information, including Entire Books. Our brain has enormous potential so I knew it was possible. After realizing that nothing like this ever existed on the planet and no one can teach me this - I have created my own Memory Training.

Lose an hour in the morning, and you will be all day hunting for it. - Richard Whately Getting up early every day to start the day off right has a huge effect on the rest of our day. Unfortunately we can not always completely trust our morning selves, especially if we are lying in a warm cozy bed and there is no immediate pressure to get up (Or we can delude ourselves with pressing ‘snooze’.) To combat this, a healthy and balanced morning routine works wonders, and especially doing it for 30 days to make it a habit .

Title of the study says it all: “Providing Social Support May Be More Beneficial Than Receiving It”: This study examines the relative contributions of giving versus receiving support to longevity in a sample of older married adults. Baseline indicators of giving and receiving support were used to predict mortality status over a 5-year period in the Changing Lives of Older Couples sample. Results from logistic regression analyses indicated that mortality was significantly reduced for individuals who reported providing instrumental support to friends, relatives, and neighbors, and individuals who reported providing emotional support to their spouse. Receiving support had no effect on mortality once giving support was taken into consideration. This pattern of findings was obtained after controlling for demographic, personality, health, mental health, and marital-relationship variables.
Spend more time out in nature: Four studies examined the effects of nature on valuing intrinsic and extrinsic aspirations. Intrinsic aspirations reflected prosocial and other-focused value orientations, and extrinsic aspirations predicted self-focused value orientations.

May 20, 2008 — Religious leaders have contended for millennia that burning incense is good for the soul. Now, biologists have learned that it is good for our brains too. An international team of scientists, including researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, describe how burning frankincense (resin from the Boswellia plant) activates poorly understood ion channels in the brain to alleviate anxiety or depression. This suggests that an entirely new class of depression and anxiety drugs might be right under our noses.

i 10 Votes It’s possible that I recently learned a valuable lesson. I qualify that statement because there are certain lessons I’ve learned three hundred times in my life, and if I took an honest look, I’d have to say I need to brush up on them again. I’m even missing those bits of wisdom we were supposed to have gathered in kindergarten.

Like most quarter-lifers, I have no free time. My life is a delicate balance of getting my self-imposed requisite eight hours of sleep and making it through my daily duties. In this tightrope walk of time management there really is very little wiggle room.If “cleanliness is next to godliness” as the ancient proverb goes, what is messiness next to? I can come up with a few options, none of which are appealing. As we start a new year, it’s natural to think about cleaning and reorganizing your space—work, home, or otherwise. I have been thinking about (and avoiding) cleaning out my apartment for months—I just always found a reason not to.

Once upon a time, people performed ritual sacrifices in an attempt to avert natural disasters. Nowadays, the most popular ritual for avoiding disasters is to accumulate money. Our ancestors didn't know when to stop spilling blood, as their gods never announced: "That's enough". Modern people can't stop accumulating money for a similar reason. A conviction (or suspicion) that the world is essentially hostile probably underlies this behaviour. In which case, no amount of sacrifice or money will remove the underlying sense of insecurity.
