View Gallery The Happiness Project Every Wednesday is List Day, or Tip Day, or Quiz Day. This Wednesday: 8 reasons why it can feel inconvenient to exercise. Right now, I’m editing my next book, Before and After, an examination of the most interesting subject in the world: how we make and break habits. (My editor is reading the draft for the first time right now, in fact, so wish me luck.) In the book, I identify multiple strategies that we can use to make it easier to foster good habits. We’re far more likely to do something if it’s convenient, and far less likely to do something if it’s inconvenient, to an astounding degree. We can use this tendency to help strengthen our habits. One habit that many people want to form? I’ve found that it’s very helpful to think very hard about exactly why exercise seems inconvenient. It’s a pain to pack up the gear when I’m leaving the house in the morning It takes too much time to work out It’s a pain to drive and park there I don’t know how to use the equipment or do the exercises

52 Weeks Project DIY Wooden Table Top - Wooden Side Table Project Written by Erica Policow Try to get a variety of colors, but be sure they're all the same thickness. (For a 19- by 17-inch table like this one, you'll need about 16 yardsticks.) STEP 1: To figure out how best to align the sticks, create a template of the tabletop by tracing it onto a sheet of paper. STEP 2: Once you know where each ruler segment will go, make the cuts with a hacksaw or small electric saw. STEP 3: Starting at one corner, attach one of the ruler segments to the top of the table lengthwise by hammering a flat-head nail in at each end. STEP 4: Apply several layers of Zinsser clear shellac ($4.79; doitbest.com) over the yardsticks with a wide brush, according to the can's directions.
Design You Trust Susan Branch Blog | Susan Branch Blog Spoon & Tamago How to Eat Healthy Meals at Restaurants Healthy fast food is no longer an oxymoron. Don’t be confused by Chipotle, Five Guys and other hot chains, which serve tastier food than McDonald’s but still don’t focus on health. There’s another, albeit smaller, rising group of restaurants with menus that are both tasty and healthy. These chains include Chop’t, Lyfe Kitchen, Maoz Vegetarian, Modmarket and Native Foods Cafe. At these, you can often eat a meal that has a reasonable number of calories, and a nice array of nutrients, without thinking too hard. We expect these kinds of restaurants will continue spreading, perhaps beyond the largest metro areas, as more Americans look for ways to eat right.
