My Experiment to Break Free from TVEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A few years back, I decided to try a "no TV" experiment. I wanted to see if it was possible to give up television for an entire week. It wasn't as extreme as the 30 day experiment mentioned here, but it seemed like a good length of time to me. Actually, before beginning the experiment a single week of no TV seemed like a lifetime. I had grown quite attached to my TV, but I wanted to get back some of my time. I knew that my time could be spent in a more productive manner than watching TV, but I had grown quite accustomed to plopping down in front of the TV after work and vegging there until bedtime.As I entered the experime...

Compounding Time: Create More Free Time by Investing it WiselyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that compound interest is the foundation of investing. But what does compounding have to do with the other 8 hours? A great deal. How you invest your other 8 hours determines your happiness and financial success. If you squander this critical time, it’s like putting $50 under your mattress. It won’t provide you with any return. For that $50 to grow, it must be invested. For your time to grow, it must also be invested. We’ve been told that time is money. But is it possible that time can make more time? You can use the other 8 hours to increase your ski...

Fortunately, there are 5 ways to slay it. You could be making attempts to get out there and do what you’re setting out to do. And even begin to get results here or there.

Avoid the Audit: Six Red Flags That'll Put You in Tax PurgatoryEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Around February, my commute home starts to give me a knot in my stomach. That’s because my bus passes a tax-preparation shop where, as tax season draws nearer, a woman stands outside wearing a Lady Liberty costume and holding a sign that promotes the shop’s services. Oh, great, I think, it’s time to dance with the IRS again.I don’t know why, but the idea of doing taxes terrifies me. All those forms requiring detailed numbers and asking questions I don’t quite understand—there’s so much room for error! The consequences of messing up are even more intimidating.

Conclusions Overall, I haven’t missed the Google services one bit. I really thought it would be harder to make the switch, but it was fast, fairly easy, and without glitches.

They make great things, and in general have been more supportive of open standards and open source than other corporations like Microsoft or Apple. But it’s not wise to put everything you have into one corporation, nor do I...

Yojimbo ReviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion Overall, Yojimbo seems to be very good at what it is intended to do. It helps the user organize information in an efficient and timely manner, and the user interface is very good. However, the product does cost a little bit ($39 for an individual version, $29 for educational), and Evernote is free. The main difference between the two programs is that (1) Yojimbo is made to be simple and user friendly, and so that it does not interrupt workflow. Evernote is more capable. It actually syncs to it’s own cloud-based web version and allows iPhone access without payment. (2) Yojimbo does cost a bit to use. Everno...

I’m Stressed SenselessEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
“You sound really stressed man” Such was the comment a friend made to me on the phone the other day. I paused for a minute and was about to say, “Nah, I’m good” when I realized my wife had said the very same thing the previous day. My initial reaction in both cases was to deny I was stressed, after all I wrote an e-book book on stress called ‘Stress is for Suckers” so what does that make me? Ok, so the title was tongue-in-cheek and I don’t really think stress if for suckers, but even so…. As I was about to answer I replayed the conversation I’d had with my wife in my head.

This article will show you several helpful ways to get over those feelings, and find your own authentic, video voice. There are two mistakes people often make in the way they think about video. The first is they assume that all video must become public – i.e. a video blog for the world to view. However, they may not realize that unlike video blogging, video journaling is a private activity akin to its written diary counterpart. Journaling on video gives the freedom to experiment. The second mistake is that people see video as a complex activity that requires specialized knowledge. Video can be complex depending on your ...

Fitness, in the past, has not been a big part of my life and I imagine that's true for many people reading this.

When you put yourself into a new social context, one of the things you learn is a new vocabulary. This is natural and normal. However, you must give care to develop vocabulary habits that will benefit and not hinder you in the future. I started college in 1994. After a few weeks on campus, I realized there were quite a few words and phrases that were in common usage that I was going to start using simply by being around them. While most of them were benign, there were several that I was a bit unsure whether I wanted to adopt or not. I’m not talking about obscenities. I’m talking about things like: Crap –...

“Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.” -Theodosius Dobzhansky Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Mark Sisson of Mark’s Daily Apple. As wild animals with massive brains and the ability to respond to sensory stimuli with more than just base instinctual behavior, we humans have the tendency to overthink pretty much, well, everything. Don’t blame yourself. You can’t escape your head. It’s always there. Everything you perceive or ponder is filtered through a dense network of constantly firing neural synapses.

Some Advice on Taking AdviceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Oscar Wilde, as famous for his witty quips as for his plays and novels, once said, “The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It’s never of any use to oneself.” Although we can take Wilde’s maxim with a grain of salt, he makes a good point in his usual ironic way. Listening to advice is difficult because, simply put, it’s very often wrong. On the other hand, you could be given good advice that holds generally, but it’s not applicable to your specific situation. Or, what’s worse, you’ve been given some good advice, but it’s not what you want to hear. You don’t listen, and then you make the ...

Why Being Happy Is Easier Than Being MiserableEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I hate miserable people! OK, let me rephrase this last statement: I don't hate miserable people because to hate someone we first have to love them. But let's say I can't stand people who constantly complain, whinge, and choose to be miserable while they DON'T do a single thing to lift themselves out of their misery.Being miserable sucks, but we all are at times - yes, even me. I have my bad times too. I tend to stick my head under the covers for a day or so before I re-emerge into the world. Getting into a funk isn't planned; it just happens. Whether it's a sting of bad luck in life or some complicated chemical setup in ou...

The Simple Way to Stick to a Meal PlanEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Post written by Leo Babauta. Follow me on twitter or identica. Not long ago, I was against meal plans because I felt they were too restrictive. I generally prefer to stick to simple principles of eating whole foods, staying active, and eating moderate portions. But I’ve had a change of heart recently as I’ve focused on losing the last of my bellyfat — in the last year I’ve lost about 35 lbs., and in the last 3.5 months of sticking (mostly) to a general meal plan, I’ve lost 18 lbs. That’s a goodly amount, to be sure, and I don’t think I could have done it (healthily) without stickin...

And for someone who needs help it can be. If you are really out of shape or have a huge debt or haven’t had date in ages or just don’t know what to do with your life then it’s no fun.

Stop Playing Corporate Dodgeball…Yeah I’m Talking To You!Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
NOTE from Phil: What follows is a guest post from Nilofer Merchant, author of The New How. I thought you’d enjoy this insightful article. It’s been more than a year since we stood at the precipice of economic meltdown and my alarm bells are ringing because we haven’t really changed how we do business. The cliff is still there, and if we don’t find better ways to drive meaningful value, many more of us will be going over the edge next time. Possibly in the double-dip scenario many economists are talking about today. After the first anniversary of the fall of Lehman Brothers, big acquisitions are back. C...

Does Twitter Give A Shit?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I got a Twitter direct message yesterday from @phillipbroberts. I’ve known Phil for eons and eons in social networking and dog years. Which actually translates to about 18 months if you’re using the more traditional Gregorian calendar Phil has a 45 year old friend who needs a double lung transplant or is probably going to die in the not too distant future. Is he elderly? No. Is he a heavy smoker? No. Is he unlucky? Yes. His name is Chuck Campbell and he has COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). A disease that is slowly but surely reducing his lung capacity and making it more and more difficult for him to brea...

7 Tricks To Sleep Like A DogEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Ever wonder why it seems your dog is in a good mood all the waking hours of the day? Perhaps adopting a dog’s sleep habits might help you emulate the feeling. A bad night’s sleep is the worst when it comes to getting things accomplished and feeling good during what should be a great day. The effects due to lack of sleep on mood, productivity, creativity, and even the quality of our relationships take a bigger toll on our health than most realize. Anyone who does have trouble sleeping most likely have read all the “regular” things to do in order to get better sleep. The concept becomes nothing more than a repe...

A 360-Degree Approach to Improving Self-ConfidenceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I know that when I’m not feeling particularly confident in one area of my life, the other areas begin to suffer too. When my job becomes stressful and tiresome, for example, so do my relationships and personal health.However, I don’t think I’m alone. Many of my friends tell me they also feel a connection between self-confidence and their personal level of happiness. After all, we all want to feel good about ourselves. We want to realize the incredible potential we possess and to really feel worthy, be loved, and have nice things.But to hold your head high and feel strong on a consistent basis takes focus. It also tak...

The Work of Being an Artistic EntrepreneurEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
SUMMARY: Buddy Brad reminds me that making a living from one's "art" is hard work, but once you get something working you should continue to do it until it's exhausted. It makes sense, but there are a few mental hangups that I need to overcome as well. One is preciousness, and the other is perfectionism. My illustrator buddy Brad Fitzpatrick left a timely comment on yesterday's post about staying focused on what works, in the context of being an art-based entrepreneur: Find something that works and repeat it over and over again until it’s exhausted. THEN (and only then) move on to your next great idea. Although thi...

It’s Hard to Learn From Your Own MistakesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Failure gives you a chance to learn. When you make a mistake you can learn from that mistake and not make it again. Right? Well, yes, in theory. The problem with this approach is that failure triggers strong emotions and makes it very difficult to focus on the cause of the failure. For example, let’s say that you were fired from a job. (Feel free to substitute your own big failure for this scenario.) When you think about being fired, your mind will focus on the emotional part of it–the being fired part, cleaning out your desk, walking out of the building, looking for a new job, etc. These are the things that a...
