thinking our-generation self
Food became for me a way of becoming self-sufficient with my hands, to regain manual literacy, which I think has been lost on our generation and certainly younger generations. Very few people can actually make things with their hands and do things with their hands.
self house trying
The first thing I would do for anyone who's trying to lose body fat, for instance, would be to remove foods from the house that he or she would consume during lapses of self-control.
self creating discipline
I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.
self-esteem self-confidence insecure
Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.
self-esteem self-confidence insecure
If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.
self attention gains
I still feel there are much smarter self-promoters out there than me. I am very methodical about my messaging, and I know how to gain attention very quickly.
self decision examination
If only I had more money is the easiest way to postpone the intense self-examination and decision-making necessary to create a life of enjoyment - now and not later.
hard-work hard
I work hard, but in spurts.
cutting dedication essence
At least three time per day at scheduled times, he had to ask himself the following question: Am I being productive or just active? Charney captured the essence of this with less-abstract wording: Am I inventing things to do to avoid the important? He eliminated all of the activities he used as crutches and began to focus on demonstrating results instead of showing dedication. Dedication is often just meaningless work in disguise. Be ruthless and cut the fat.
work weekend important
Do not expect work to fill a void that non-work relationships and activities should Work is not all of life. Your co-workers shouldn't be your only friends. Schedule life and defend it just as you would an important business meeting. Never tell yourself "I'll just get it done this weekend."
coffee airplane champion
World barista champions use the AeroPress to make coffee on the folding tray tables of airplanes.
driven activity
Work is an activity that is financially-driven or one that you'd like to do less of.
witty fun sake
What I don't like is snark for snark's sake. If you are going to make fun of me, at least be witty while doing it.
jobs stress thinking
People really do think they have to choose between high stress and high reward jobs, and low stress and low reward jobs.
