How NOT to Get Things Done

As a change of pace I thought I'd list 10 ways NOT to get things done and NOT to recognize what's important in life. If you want to keep yourself disorganized, harried and always behind this is the way to do it.



1. Don't throw anything out. Keep everything. After all you may need it someday. So what if things become so cluttered you can't find anything.

2. Keep making new piles. Don't file anything and don't ever go through old piles to see what can be thrown out.

3. Let paper take over your life. Remember that each piece is so precious and important that your life fades into the background instead.

4. Stack up and keep all the magazines and newspapers that you will read "someday".

5. Never figure out what are the real priorities in your life. After all if everything is equally important it doesn't matter what you get done first.

6. Never make yourself an important priority in your life. Sufficient sleep, exercise, eating right all those things don't really matter. What is important is getting caught up in the things of the moment and not the things that make your life better.

7. Do not set goals. After all you may just as well take whatever happens to you in life and just experience it. Setting goals and accomplishing things would just interfere with that.

8. Waste time watching TV or surfing the Internet. After all the average American watches 24 hours of TV a week and spends who knows how much time surfing the Internet so you might as well do it too.

9. Don't think of your family or friends as important. Concentrate instead on getting and acquiring things. After all that's what impresses other people so that must be what's important.

10. Never figure out how long it really takes to get things done. Just assume it will take 20 minutes and when it takes and hour and a half be really surprised.

New Year's Resolutions

First I want to wish everyone a Healthy and Happy New Year!

We should all have a year where things go well, we have lives without hassle and we feel good at all times.

Below are ten ways to make your New Year's Resolutions work better.

1. Make Resolutions Positive.

Phrase verything ina positive way. Instead of saying I must lose weight or must exercise more think in terms of I will take better care of my health.

2. Persistence Pay Off.

If things don't turn out well don't give up. Keep on going and determine that that you'll keep going until you've reached your goal.

3. Set Realistic Goals.

Trying to get everything to be perfect can mean that you're never satisfied. Make goals that ou can break into smaller pieces and do a bit at a time.

4. Make Sure Your Resolutions Mean Something To You.

Don't make a resolution becasue it's something someone else thinks you should do. Thing about what's important to you and make goals based on your wants and needs.

5. Ink It, Don't Think It.

One of the most important things you can do for goals and resoltuions is to write them down. You'll start thinking about ways to achieve them.

6. Post Your Resolutions Where You Can See Them Everyday.

It's not to make you feel guilty it's to get them to be part of you and moving in the right direction.

7. Do It Whether You Feel Like It Or Not.

Action can be the start of change. Don't wait for the pefect time to start. Just start doing it and things will fall into place

8. Make Just A Few Resolutions.

Make a few that you will work on. It's better to have a few that you accomplish than many that you don't.

9. Set rewards For Yourself When You've reached Different Parts Of Your Goals.

Set up rewards that you can afford and like and them be part of the resolution process.

10. Forgive Yourself.

If you don't fulfill your resolutions fast enough or fall behind don't berate yourself. If we can forgive ourselves we can get more done and be happier.
