The Productivity Tricks and Daily Habits of Famous People

From www.lifehack.org - June 14, 2012 1:58 AM

Famous visionaries often develop a reputation for having a few eccentricities. However, for many people, these small eccentricities are part of a larger group of daily rituals that help them to be at their most productive and prolific. While not all these tips, tricks, and rituals will work for you, they help to shed light on what some of our most beloved cultural icons and historical figures are willing to do in order to stay on top of their demanding workloads.

Writers

1. Addicted to Notecards: Vladimir Nabokov used 5- by 8-inch index cards to compose and order the scenes in his novels. This allowed him to experiment with the order of the chapters before transcribing the final manuscript.

2. Slow and Steady: Stephen King has explained that he always writes 10 pages a day, every day of the year (even holidays). His slow and steady approach to project management has ensured that he has a steady stream of new works entering the marketplace, and he is one of the most prolific modern authors working in America today.

27 Traits Of Successful People

From www.stumbleupon.com - June 9, 2012 1:35 AM

Is it really possible to become a successful person in just one day? I actually believe you can become a successful person in just one second.

Why? Because to be a successful person you only have to change your thoughts and start to think like a successful person. Your have to program your brain to respond differently to situations that it was previously refusing.

But how exactly are successful people made and how do they think? I’ve read and studied a lot of books on the subject, as well as experimenting and asking around. The following is list of 27 traits that distinguish successful people from ordinary people. If you take the commitment to apply every day each principle in your life, you’ll start to see amazing results in no time.

They are positive. Successful people don’t let negative events alter their ego. They see the glass half full and not half empty. They are known as the ones who raises positiveness among others. Benefits: other people want to stay with them because they make them feel better. They say yes to everything. They take every opportunity they can. They are not afraid of doing something new, like giving a talk in public. They take everything like a challenge with themselves...

10 Ways to Avoid Brainwashing | Illuminated Mind

From www.illuminatedmind.net - May 28, 2012 12:24 AM

If we don’t own our minds, we’re like pawns in a game where we’re not the player. We’re being played. Corporations, governments, advertisers and even religions (oops, I said it) have gone to great lengths to control your mind. Sometimes their tactics are obvious, but most of the time they are downright sneaky.

If we want to ensure that we’re living for ourselves and not serving some corporation’s agenda, we have to put on our mental armor. We have to arm our minds so we can first know when their is an assault on our sovereignty.

Here are 10 tools you can use to avoid brainwashing and retain the ownership of your mind:

1. Decrypt media spin.
The media uses many different tools and angles to sensationalize things that aren’t inherently sensational. “Experts generally agree” can mean a community college professor and “recent surveys find” can mean the polling of 10 people...

Leadership mantra : Possible vs Impossible.

From martingysler.com - April 7, 2012 11:24 PM

Possible is a state of mind!

You have certainly heard, on numerous occasions, people say, “that’s impossible.” What did you do with that? Here lies the difference between success and failure.

If we listen to such people, it is certain that we will abandon. Otherwise, we will continue and put the odds on our side to make things possible.

We live in a world where pessimism and lack of courage is part of the lives of many people. It’s what makes me say, that here we see clearly the difference between a leader and a follower.

The Importance of Prioritization and Time Management

From westxdesign.com - June 11, 2012 2:21 AM

If success depends on effective action, effective action depends on the ability to focus your attention where it is needed most, when it is needed most. This is the ability to separate the important from the unimportant, which is a much-needed skill in all walks of life, especially where there are ever-increasing opportunities and distractions.

12 Universal Skills You Need to Succeed at Anything

First, let’s talk a little about ‘time’: There are two types of time, clock time and real-time. In clock time, there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. All time passes equally. In real-time, all time is relative. Time flies or drags depending on what you’re doing. Time management systems often don’t work because they are designed to manage clock time. You live in real-time. The good news is that real-time is mental. You create it. Anything you create, you can manage.

There are three ways to spend time:

3 Questions Answered by Sir Richard Branson

From www.stumbleupon.com - June 5, 2012 2:48 AM

If you are a regular reader of this blog you already know that I am a HUGE fan of Sir Richard Branson?

Why?

Because he keeps going no matter the situation. If obstacles occur, he goes over, around or through them. If one plan won’t work, he thinks of another way to do it.

A badly damaged knee as a teenager stopped him from being the sportsman that he likely would have been. If he hadn’t been dyslexic he would not have left school at sixteen and started a magazine. That magazine ultimately led to the birth of Virgin Records. And the rest, as they say, is history.

In this brief 4 minute clip he is asked to give advice to entrepreneurs. That advice applies to all of us. Here’s why. Webster’s Dictionary says that an entrepreneur is “one who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise.”

10 Simple Truths Smart People Forget

From www.marcandangel.com - May 27, 2012 2:04 AM

Some of the smartest people I know continuously struggle to get ahead because they forget to address a few simple truths that collectively govern our potential to make progress. So here’s a quick reminder:

#1 – Education and intelligence accomplish nothing without action.
It doesn’t matter if you have a genius IQ and a PhD in Quantum Physics, you can’t change anything or make any sort of real-world progress without taking action. There’s a huge difference between knowing how to do something and actually doing it. Knowledge and intelligence are both useless without action. It’s as simple as that. For some practical guidance on taking action, I highly recommend The Now Habit.

#2 – Happiness and success are two different things.
I know an extremely savvy businesswoman who made almost a million dollars online last year. Every entrepreneur I know considers her to be wildly successful. But guess what? A few days ago, out of the blue, she told me that she’s depressed...
