... * Face up to the results of procrastination. What will happen if you procrastinate? How will you feel if you fail the test? How miserable will you be over the weekend if you have to write a last- minute paper while your family and friends get to go see a movie? * Concentrate on the rewards of managing yourself and your time. Think about the rewards that you will get when you finish a difficult task. You can go to a movie or relax or spend time with your children. You can get a good grade. Think about how good you will feel when the weekend comes and your paper is finished and you don’t have to spend all your time working on a project. Focus on how good you will feel when you did well on a project. While you are working, stop periodically and focus on the rewards. * Break up big tasks into small ones. If you have to write a paper, can you work on one segment tonight and another one tomorrow? If you start early and finish a small segment each day, a big paper is just a series of small tasks. * Give yourself a time limit to accomplish a task. Work will expand to take up as much time as we allow it to. Push yourself to work faster and more efficiently. * Set a regular time for study, and do not vary from it. Determine your personal “ best time” and “ best place.” * Start studying with positive, realistic thoughts. Push negative thoughts out of your mind. Tell yourself that you are growing and becoming more competent. Remember, “ You can do this.” * Establish...

...unique skills. You should commit yourself to becoming good in these areas, then apply your knowledge and skills (no one can ever take those away). Ask yourself, "What am I really good at?" "What do I enjoy the most about my work?" "What has been most responsible for my success in the past?" "If I could do any job at all, what job would it be?" Focus on your best energies and abilities. Identify Your Key Constraints. Limiting factors affect how quickly and how well you get your task done. They are the critical path or choke point to achieving your goal. Identify your limiting factors by asking yourself what is holding you back, then focus on alleviating those factors as much as possible. Getting rid of those limiting factors usually brings more progress in a shorter time than anything else. The 80/20 Rule applies here too-80% of the constraints are internal, only 20% are external. Those constraints can be as simple as a thought or belief. Accept responsibility and get rid of your constraint. Put Pressure on Yourself. The intent behind this principle is to take charge of your life before you end up waiting for a rescue that will never come. Be a leader, someone who can work without supervision, which according to Brian is only about 2% of people. Set standards for yourself higher than you would for others and go the extra mile. This is all about self-esteem, which is your reputation of yourself. Everything you do affects your self-esteem. Push yourself and you'll feel better about...

...tricks to get through the bad times and come out as a stronger person. The first step you have to do is give yourself time to be sad. Give yourself at least two days where you can cry all you want, eat chocolate, lay in bed, let all those emotions pour out. After those two days, the number one thing to make your self feel better is to look your best. Its proven that if you make yourself look good, you start to feel good, it also brings back some of your confidence. The second step, make sure you surround yourself with people that make you happy and are able to talk to. Talking about how you feel to people you trust keeps yourself from keeping your emotions inside, because if that happens then your thoughts and emotions boil up inside until your going to have an emotional break down. No matter what happens and how low you feel, never push your friends or family away because those are the people that are always there for you and truly want the best for you. Try and keep your mind of things; hang out with friends, take up a hobby, focus on school. Opening yourself up to new experiences opens you up to new people. Hanging out with my friends always made me feel better, they are the best support system. Don’t feel sorry for yourself, ever. If you sit around your room and block yourself out from the rest of the world you’ll never get better and will always feel sad. If your going through a break up or got in a really bad fight with a friend try to distance yourself from the...

...belongings.” —Thich Nhat Hann P.S. You know I think most people get caught up in self-help when all they are really looking for is friends. How do you get friends? You take action. You get out there, find a group, and meet people. How to Stop Masturbating I hate the term "NoFap" and that was the last time I'll use the word. But the most successful people I know—both in their financial and personal lives—don't look at porn (I would know I work on their computers). And since they are almost always in healthy, loving relationships, they really have no reason to masturbate. Any guy should know the extra energy and vitality you get when you abstaining from masturbating for a day or two. And when you combine that with all the 1,000s testimonials online about how it change their lives, it's a no-brainer. And I...

...and try to stop the automatic thinking that sets your sights so high that your efforts can never measure up. It is OK to be hard on yourself on occasion, but be sure to take some time to be proud of your successes as a manager - and as a person. Reflect seriously about how you perceive yourself. Note your own negative and positive self-impressions. Write down what you like about yourself, what your strengths are, the people to whom you are important, and why you are important to them. Also, keep track of your negative perceptions and try to figure out why you took that particular issue so seriously. Maybe it wasn’t so bad after all. Explore why you should be proud of yourself and review this list often. Keep a journal of your thoughts, moods, and daily activities. Observe your automatic reactions to events at work and how you feel about yourself during daily life. If you make what you see as a horrendous mistake and feel like the lowest, lamest, most despicable worm on the earth, then write down the event, how you feel about yourself, and how you interpret the situation. Next, consider the situation from other perspectives and write these thoughts down as well. Follow these steps to gain new insight about your perceptions: - Do a serious reality-check: Are other people thinking as scathingly about you? If friends or colleagues were in your shoes, how would you interpret the situation? You probably wouldn't be so harsh towards them. - Think about what your mistake will mean in one...

...your health — both mentally and physically. And they waste your time and energy. So why do we still do them? And most importantly, is there anything you can do about it? I’ve previously written about the science of how habits start, so now let’s focus on the practice of making changes in the real world. How can you delete your bad behaviors and stick to good ones instead? I certainly don’t have all of the answers, but keep reading and I’ll share what I’ve learned about how to break a bad habit. What causes bad habits? Most of your bad habits are caused by two things… Stress and boredom. Most of the time, bad habits are simply a way of dealing with stress and boredom. Everything from biting your nails to overspending on a shopping spree to drinking every weekend to wasting time on the internet can be a simple response to stress and boredom. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can teach yourself new and healthy ways to deal with stress and boredom, which you can then substitute in place of your bad habits. Of course, sometimes the stress or boredom that is on the surface is actually caused by deeper issues. These issues can be tough to think about, but if you’re serious about making changes then you have to be honest with yourself. Are there certain beliefs or reasons that are behind the bad habit? Is there something deeper — a fear, an event, or a limiting belief — that is causing you to hold on to something that is bad for you? Recognizing...

...How to become a Writer Whole books have been written on how to become a good writer, from the building block of constructing a good sentence to selling out novels to put them on the bestsellers. Writing is an artful way of communicating human experience. Paul Graham once said “Writing doesn’t communicate ideas; it generates them. If you are bad at writing and don’t like it, you will miss out on the ideas writing would have generated. Writing is an art which communicates what an individual wants to say in a descriptive form, a good writer would leave his/her readers spellbound through their writing. Usually writers are categorized into two categories, those who want to say something and those who write for sake of writing. In both cases if you aspire to be a writer, you are already in camp two, the idea of writing is camp one to start with. Writing is just like any other discipline in that you won’t get better at it just by thinking about it. The more you write, the better you get at the art of writing and that’s is what makes you a good and effective writer, but for amateurs there are a few guidelines to start with. Figure out what you want to write This is the most important and basic step in writing. Writing is a vast field that encompasses different genres, a good point to start would be writing about something you are familiar with and in most cases best writing usually stem forth from something you already have knowledge and passion about. When you translate your passion...

...How to control your emotions Meditate. This is one of the better tools to become emotionless. There are several different types of meditation, including Vipassana and Huna, that you can investigate to see which one is right for you. Even the most basic form: closing your eyes and breathing deep, is sometimes enough to lose your emotions. Ads by Google Meditation - Free MP3s The essence of all practice is to be cool. www.ramatalks.com 2 Distance yourself from the situation. You can do this by seeing yourself as an observer of the situation and not an active participant. Focus on the visual details of the environment and disengage from the situational reality. 3 Think logically, not emotionally. If you can't dissociate yourself from the situation, then take a more logical approach (i.e. facts/figures) rather than an approach of anger, hatred, fear, etc. Think of the reasons behind the actions and look at things from all sides before making any sort of judgment. 4 Think of something else. When dealing with a situation that requires the lack of emotion, think of something rudimentary that occupies your mind. A few examples of things to try are: Long division, listing the full names of your entire family, listing all 50 states, naming as many mammals as you can, etc. The key to doing this correctly is to occupy your mind with peaceful and quiet thoughts, while remaining aware of the situation and taking it all in. 5 Realize that you may be wrong.

...skillset that they used wisely and to their advantage. In this paper I will discuss some of these skillsets and how leaders strategize these skills to be the best they can. Leadership Good or bad all leaders have a way of having people buy what they are selling. For good leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King, Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela, Bad leaders include Castro and Hitler. Although what they did was terrible and many didn’t agree, these men were still able to get their countries to believe in them. Their confidence, commitment, and ability to inspire their followers are what made them great. Sadly it wasn’t for a good cause and was used to spread hate but they still had some great qualities that leaders have. I will never try to tell someone to emulate them if they want to be a great leader but they do have the qualities. These bad leaders also show how it takes more than speaking and people that will listen to be a good leader. As a leader you will need confidence, commitment, communication, relationships, and self-leadership to be effective in a positive way. Communication is key Every article I read about leadership stresses the importance of communication. A great leader is also a great communicator. I think they do play a role and work hand in hand together. As a leader you must communicate what your plans are and what you expect of people before it can get done. This is why they go hand in hand together. If there is a lack of...

Assessing your personal skills is different to assessing your verbal or numerical skills or your ability in science – there are no right and wrong answers so soft skills are harder to measure. Some people will be very good in one area and need to improve in other areas. The aim of this workbook is to help you decide what skills are your strengths (what you are good at) or your weaknesses – the skills that you will need to practice in order to become better at them.
