The Procrastination Matrix Note: To best understand this post, you should first read Part 1 of Wait But Why’s previous post on procrastination. PDF: We made a fancy PDF of this post for printing and offline viewing. Buy it here. Back in high school, if you had asked me if I was a procrastinator, I would have said yes. Except I wasn’t. There was definitely an Instant Gratification Monkey in my head, but he was cute more than anything. One day, high school ended, and so did my life as a somewhat normal-acting person. Without deadlines to occupy him, my Panic Monster, who can’t think too far ahead, began to spend a lot of time in hibernation. The more the Panic Monster slept, the more confidence the monkey gained. The RDM would slip further into despair, and only the times when things reached their most dire would anything change. It didn’t matter how obvious a decision seemed to the RDM, it was becoming clear that he was totally unable to control the monkey without the Panic Monster’s help. 1) The Disastinators

5 Ways to Refresh Your Morning Routine and Be Happier Advertisement The first hour of the day dictates how the remaining 23 will go. Lots of events and situations are outside of your control, of course, but your perception and attitude can be influenced by what you do when you first wake up. What do you do, anyway? If you want to start on the road to self-improvement, you have to be aware of things like this. Take control of your day by taking control of your morning. It’s going to be tough, but you won’t regret it. Wake Up on Time One major way to begin the day right is to wake up on time. There are two components to waking up on time. Use an effective alarm. Get enough sleep. If you have trouble falling asleep, you may need to change your computer habits. But most importantly, the screen glow from electronic devices and monitors can trick your brain into thinking it’s daytime, which is why you should always use a program like F.lux or an app like Twilight to shift the light towards a warmer color at night. Stretch and Stay Fit For how long?
The Truth About Religion in America: The Founders Loathed Superstition and We Were Never a Christian Nation Once they begin to circulate, falsehoods—like counterfeit currency—are surprisingly tenacious. It doesn’t matter that there’s no backing for them. The only thing that counts is that people believe they have backing. Then, like bad coins, they turn up again and again. One counterfeit idea that circulates with frustrating stubbornness is the claim that America was founded as a Christian nation. Unlike some of the wackier positions taken by evangelicals—think Rapture—the claim that America was founded as a Christian nation has gone relatively mainstream. So the notion that America was founded as a Christian nation is widespread. There are three primary candidate groups, and each is regularly invoked by the Christian Right. Puritans as Founders Cynthia Dunbar is among those who believe that the Puritans who began migrating to New England in the first half of the seventeenth century are our nation’s founders. This sounds good on a first run-through. Christian Majority as Founders

Say Yes To The Stress In relationships, you can have identical actions that generate vastly different consequences. Kind of like watching “Say Yes To The Dress.” Which is to say that my wife adores watching fluffy wedding shows where the bride tries on a zillion froofy outfits, parading this latest dress in front of her family, before finally settling tearfully on the perfect dress. The bride flutters her hands in front of her face. And sometimes, when Gini is having a bad day, she needs to curl up and watch a “Say Yes To The Dress” marathon. We have one big television, so if she watches it, then I can’t spend my Saturday ferociously trying to beat the new Dragon Age game on the Xbox. Yet I recognize watching silly wedding shows makes Gini happy, and as such it’s a worthy thing to do. Which is to say that I occasionally get emails like, “Hey, I’m polyamorous, but I want my monogamous partner to be happy. And it’s okay that sometimes, you’re going to be uncomfortable in this relationship.
Õnneliku pereelu 10 saladust - Pere ja Laps 27. juuli 2014 09:00 Kui peres juba lapsed kasvamas, siis unustavad partnerid tihtipeale nii enda kui kaaslase vajadused ära ja esikohale sätivad ennast töö, laste logistika ja majapidamine. Kui sa sellisest robotielust rõõmu ei tunne, siis loe, kuidas oma pereellu sära tagasi tuua. 1. Jah, teie kaks olete eespool lapsi ja majapidamist. 2. Tähtis on, et nad üldse koos aega veedavad. 3. Uuringud näitavad, et üksteisele jaatavaid sõnumeid saatvad paarid on õnnelikumad. 4. Sa võtsid ta ju oma kaaslaseks sellepärast, et temaga koos edasi liikuda, mitte selleks, et teda igal võimalusel maha teha ja tema seisukohti ümber lükata. 5. Ühised rattasõidud, mere ääres käimised ja ka lihtsad jalutuskäigud ja looduses koos perega matkamised tagavad nii hea tervise, kui rõõmsa meele koosveedetud ajast. 6. Seks on suhtes tähtsal kohal. 7. 8. Inimestel on erinevad isiksuseomadused ja lõpeta oma kaaslase pidev ümberkasvatamine. 9. 10.

Level 10 Life - 100 Goals in 10 Areas of Focus | Boho Berry Well, hello there! I am super excited about this post today, y’all! If you’ve been following along this month then you already know that I am a HUGE fan of The Miracle Morning. This book has seriously changed my life over the past 24 days! If you haven’t yet, you should check out my review of the book here. In The Miracle Morning, Hal Elrod explains a concept he calls ‘Level 10 Success’. “If we’re measuring our levels of success/satisfaction in any area of our lives, we all want to be living our best lives at a ‘Level 10’ in each area. Over the weekend I was digging through my Miracle Morning Fast Start Kit and discovered an amazing tool that I hadn’t noticed before. The wheel of life assessment is a circle graph that is divided into 10 sections — one for each major area of focus in your life. The idea here is to take a quick ‘gut feeling’ assessment of how satisfied you are in each of your 10 areas of focus. That quote by Zig Ziglar has always been one of my favorites. Phew! Success!
Food Timeline: food history research service Lihtsaid nippe, kuidas laisk mees kodutöödesse ja lastekasvatusse kaasata - Pere ja Laps 29. juuli 2014 17:00 Võibolla sa ei lootnudki, et sinu mees jagab kodused kohustused sinuga 50/50 pooleks, aga et see kujuneb 80/20 sinu kahjuks, seda ei osanud sa kooselu alguses ka karta. Karjuv ebaõiglus koduses elus ei pea sugugi igavasti kestma, kui järgid allolevaid nõuandeid. Tegelikult ei tee paha juba kooselu alguses omavahel arutada, kuidas pereeluga kaasnevaid igapäevaseid kohustusi jagada. Kui sa pole rahul, siis ütle see välja Alustuseks tõde, et sinu mees pole selgeltnägija ja kui sa pole talle seda öelnud, et kohustustekoorem sind hulluks ajab, siis sinu silmist ta sinu rasket olukorda ka välja ei loe ja järelikult ei märka ka abi pakkuda. Ole konkreetne Muidugi ajab sind vihale, kui mees arvab, et nõud on pärast sööki alati ise kraanikaussi roninud ja seal ennast ka ära pesnud ning et lapsed õppisid tema meelest täiesti iseseisvalt potil käima ja riidesse panema. Esimesed 15 sekundit on määrava tähtsusega Ära süüdista, vaid tee ettepanek, ära ründa, vaid palu abi
My Level 10 Life: 100 Level 10 Goals To Complete In 10 Years - Women With Intention Hello! I’m very excited about this post today. Last week I read The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. I absolutely loved this book! I found it inspiring, thought-provoking, and very motivating to get me moving on my goals! In The Miracle Morning, Hal Elrod explains what he calls “Level 10 Success”. In order to create your own “Level 10 Life” you must begin with assessing each of the 10 areas, using a scale from 1-10 and rate your level of satisfaction (using your gut feelings for each area). Family & FriendsPersonal Growth & DevelopmentSpiritualityFinancesCareer/BusinessSignificant Other/RomanceFun & RecreationContribution/GivingHealth/FitnessPhysical Environment (Home/Office) A zero would mean you have no satisfaction and a 10 would mean you are completely satisfied in that area of life. I decided that this would fun to add into my bullet journal so I can track my progress. Being the goal loving girl I am, I decided to come up with 10 goals for each category. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 8. 10.
