A few weeks ago I heard the second interview with the so called, chess prodigy, Josh Waitzkin, at the Tim Ferriss Show, at which Josh mentioned something that has stick to me from that day. He said that top performers are usually people who “embrace the funk”, their type of personality and want to display their true selves from the performance that they do. Continue reading

A few years ago a friend of mine told me that when he is trying to make an important decision, rather than just thinking about it, he used a clipped piece of paper for it. He wrote down there what where his current thoughts, possible approaches and alternatives towards the end. According to him, this is a very beneficial way of making decisions, as it tends to be a rational one and which is also based on realistic circumstances and surprising obstacles, which are often forgotten when only thinking about them.

Best selling author, Seth Godin in a podcast interview in the Tim Feriss Show recently was asked to give suggestions about getting good ideas. He said that it simply does not happen to come at a great idea regularly, but you keep writing about a lot of ideas on a consistent basis and then, after a lot of bad ideas have been written down, you then are able to come across to a good idea. He mentioned a time when he and one of his friend used to generate hundred of business ideas on a weekly meeting. This practice was done as they felt it as a helpful strategy for their future intended careers. Continue reading

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. – Aristotle
I told a few friends of mine that I have been writing articles in this blog on a consistent basis. I mentioned that I have written 2 articles per week during 2015 and my goal for 2016 is to write at least 1 article per week and they looked this as something way too easy and underestimated it. I agree with them that it is not that hard to write 1 article per week, but I think here we are dealing with something much broader. Continue reading

In a recent email, the author of the book The Best Place to Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace, Rod Friedman mentioned something very interesting. He told a story that happened to him and his daughter recently. A couple of days ago he went to the cinema with his daughter and although they had an unpleasant experience while watching the movie, they did not recall that particular story that way. They initially did not like the movie and considered it as not worth their time, but later on, as they were thinking a bit differently. They actually did change their opinion about the movie and thought that it was not that bad, and that it did deserve worth a watch. Rod considered this occurrence to happen as a result of our different selves that might change throughout different times. Continue reading

No matter how happy you try to be, or how your current lifestyle design is bringing you a lot of joy, there will be times when you will be thrown into some sort of tough situations.

To-do lists are very handful when it comes to collecting the items that we are supposed to finish at a certain time in the future. Writing down everything that we should do is something that is mentioned several times in past few articles of this blog and we are not going to go much into detail about that here. Usually, they turn into a source of stress and disappointment, as we are never able to accomplish everything that is in our list. Even though we might read and try to implement the techniques for which we are convinced that are backed up by science, there is so much that we should do. The list simply keeps getting with endless number of tasks. However, calendars might come in handy at times like these and might even get combined with to-do lists. Continue reading

We all have goals, whether we have set them by ourselves, or the others. Get a degree, get a good job, get married, buy a car and a house and other types of common goals are well spread. These types of goals might be ours, or ones that the family or the society sometimes tries to set for ourselves. Even though they might have good intentions, sometimes they can simply put a lot of stress and pressure upon an individual such that it is unbearable for him. However, goals should not be like that. They are targets that should first and foremost be for us and not against us. Continue reading

About a month ago, for the first time in my life, I decided to publicly declare e 30 day challenge that I was trying to set for myself. It was about exercising every single day, without excuses. I decided to do this challenge because I had the desire to exercise and knew that it is very helpful for our bodies and brains to exercise on a regular basis. I had been procrastinating and delaying working out for years, even though I knew that I needed to exercise. When a time comes that you do something you had long ago aspired to do, then you can see how many benefits you have already wasted.
I can say that I was not very consistent with my dedication of working every single day, because most of the time I forgot. I did not put any reminder besides publishing a post in my blog, which was not sufficient for me to recall every single day that I had to work out. I sometimes found myself lying in bed in the evening, only to remember that I had not exercised that day. However, I am glad I started this experiment because, besides starting working out at a local fitness gym where a very good friend of mine works as a trainer, I learned a few lessons and tips that I would like to tell you about.
