Procrastination is a vicious fiend that can destroy your productivity with murderous intent. If you want to get stuff done, you need to apply these three tips today. 1. Begin (even if you don’t want to right now). If I told you I always feel inspired to write, that would be a lie. But funny thing about that: without fail, after I grunt through an hour or two of work despite not feeling like it, I find myself in a state of flow where I lose track of time and keep on going until I have no words left to express. I often end up wondering, “What was all that procrastination about? This is a much better way to spend my time than what I was doing before*!” Your mind will resist your efforts to take action with all of its might. Please understand that your thoughts are convincing liars that will try to prevent you from doing things that will prove to be fun and fulfilling (don’t listen to them!). Prove me wrong. I dare you. * This morning, said “thing” was wasting two hours on T...

As a child my dad once bought me a ring. It had many different colors and its colors would change. He told me that it was a mood ring. I was too little to understand that it was just a toy. As I took a test in my third grade class.  I put on my ring and was happy to see that the colors were mixed between purple for cool and blue for calm and relaxed . My nervousness over the test disappeared and I did very well. If the ring would have shown a black color (stressed) or a red color (fear) or maybe even a yellow color ( nervousness ) , who knows how I would have performed. Back then I did not know that a mood ring is a ring that contains a thermochromic element, such as liquid crystal that change colors based upon the temperature of the finger of the wearer. I did well because a toy ring gave me a positive feedback that I was calm and I believed it and as a result I did real well on my exam. Positive thinking will achieve positive results. Had I been given negative feedback, who ...

“Smoking kills you”  This advertising message really seems to hit home. You would think that it would get attention and would be very effective. If you do then you are not alone, so did the country France and they ran their own anti smoking campaign. “Smoking Means Being a Slave to Tobacco”  So was this anti-smoking campaign effective?  The short answer is … Yes, it was.  However, the negative message in these campaigns just was not as effective as a positive campaign would be. Cornell marketing and nutritional science professor Bryan Wansink, who co-authored the report with University of Vermont nutrition and dietetics professor Lizzy Pope, extended their  research into the area of anti-smoking campaigns, the report argues that a positive message, like  “If you quit smoking using this help line, you can save almost $2,000 a year,”  would likely be more motivating to its audience than the negative message “Smoking kills ...

By Mauro Libi . Life definitely presents its challenges. When we are presented with a task to accomplish there are three periods of time that can either hinder us or enhance our abilities to see the task through.   A few months ago I went to a friend’s graduation. The guest speaker was a middle aged female CEO. She told a story of how her success started. The other students in her graduation class were limited by their lack of experience. When they went on interviews, it was always the same story. The job interviewer always asked about what experience that the graduate had with maybe a software program that they never worked on or with some business system that they knew nothing about. The graduate had to be honest and say that they lacked the experience and the job went off to someone else. This CEO when she first went on her first interviews “Postitve thinking is not only expecting the best to happen! Bit it is also about spoke about her experience with software and systems ...
