Read Something Out of Your Comfort Zone

Friday, August 21st, 2009

I am an avid reader (who has been frustratingly without time for pleasure reading here recently.) With a wide range of interests, I have far too many options when it comes time to choose the next books to read. Even with this many options, I frequently find myself reading similar types of material. In order [...]

Creating a Clutter Free Desktop

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

I’ve got a lot going on right now, so I need to be able to focus. If you’ve spent any time around me, you know that I don’t do fixed focus and single-tasking very well. Indeed, as I write this I am sitting outside watching traffic go by, listening to the iPod and writing (all [...]

Back in the Saddle

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Nope, it’s not horse-back riding… I’m back on my bicycle, and it feels good! (so long as the hill is not too steep or long, of course.)
Until about 4 days ago, I hadn’t ridden my bicycle since December. It’s kinda hard to pack a bicycle in a suitcase (especially since I don’t have a folding [...]

Take a Break

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Sometimes you just need to take a break. Stop. Recharge.
Our hectic exam schedule (mentioned here) is nearly done, and we are going to celebrate tonight. No studying, no books, no work. We’re just going to relax, enjoy each others’ company and do nothing.
Do you need to take a break? Perhaps your fuse is getting a [...]

Upgrade Your Daily Tasks

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Do you have tasks that you have to complete on a daily basis? Do you see them as boring, mundane tasks? You can make them more exciting.
This isn’t a post telling you to change your mindset, or your attitude. I’ll leave that to those who are better qualified. This post outlines a simple method [...]

Targeting A Goal

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

We have made our life list and narrowed it down to a year’s worth of goals; now it’s time to start achieving those goals!
I’m going to use my goal of “Be financially self-sufficient” as an example, as I feel that it will be the most challenging of my three. But first, let’s recap:
What makes [...]

Breaking It Down

Monday, May 11th, 2009

You have created your life list of goals and you have seen my list. Now it’s time to start working on them. But wait! Those are long lists! Of course they are, it’s called a Life List for a reason, you can’t do it in just a year.
Let’s narrow it down a bit so that [...]

My Life List

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things that you didn’t do than by the things that you did do.
Wednesday we discussed the importance of making your life list and you made yours. (You did, didn’t you?) Here is my wife and I’s. We have already completed some of our goals, as [...]

Become A Rockstar

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

One of the goals on my Life List is to become financially self-sufficient. By this I don’t mean able to pay my own bills (already do that), but not being dependent upon some company that is out of my control for my income. I don’t want to fear that I could lose my job because [...]
