Keep them in mind and you’ll never go far wrong, even when life doesn’t go quite according to plan. 1. Time spent on people who don’t appreciate you is time wasted Life is challenging enough even with the support of positive people, so don’t waste your precious time or energy on those who belittle you, fail to appreciate you, or make you feel bad. Most of us can probably remember a time when we spent weeks, months or even years trying to win over someone who in the end just didn’t deserve us....

Below are the impressive Stephen Hawking Quotes that can change the way you see the world. “However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. Where there’s life, there’s hope.” – Stephen Hawking “People won’t have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.” – Stephen Hawking “We are all now connected by the Internet, like neurons in a giant brain.” – Stephen Hawking “We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity....

I’d like to preface this article by saying that I’ve recently received my own personalized DNA report from 23andme, and then submitted it to Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s Genome Analysis Tool for another comprehensive report which comes from querying one’s DNA through a large research database. The report actually showed that my DNA favors the use of Intermittent Fasting 16+ hours, in conjunction with the use of Resveratrol (Grape Seed extract, Red Wine and other sources), and an exercise regime which includes High Intensity Interval Training, and low repetition heavy weight lifting....

The same can be said for those who struggle with making and maintaining intimate connections. Does the thought of allowing yourself to be completely vulnerable and letting someone see your bare naked soul terrify you? Do you find yourself going from one relationship to another, but you can never seem to find true love? If this is you, you may have intimacy issues. Many people struggle with developing an intimate relationship with others for a variety of reasons such as:...

This September has been filled to the brim with Apple announcements! Not only did they unveil their new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models, they also revealed the long awaited iWatch which has been the subject of many a rumour over the last year. Perhaps what’s been the most exciting announcement – as iPhone users can get their hands of in so to speak right now – is Apple’s new operating system IOS 8....

Everywhere you turn, people are busy. What happens when you call your family members? Busy. When you call your friends? Busy. Or maybe you don’t call them because you’re busy. People tend to take some sort of secret pride in “busy-ness.” But what’s wrong with NOT being busy? Plan to be bored sometimes instead. Sound crazy? Well, actually being bored could be a good thing. Why do people hate to be bored?...

While I didn’t know it at the time, it turns out that this move isn’t always as great as it sounds. In fact, borrowing from yourself can actually get to be quite expensive. The good aspects of taking out a 401(k) loan On the surface, temporarily taking money out of your retirement account makes a lot of sense. After all, many of us won’t be retiring for a good long time, so what’s the harm in taking advantage of some of the funds now?...

While a lot of the look as Batman may be due to his costume and the lighting, Ben Affleck nonetheless is a key example for building muscle if you’re over the age of 40. Mainly because he follows these 3 rules: Rule #1: Stick to the basics Ben Affleck doesn’t like working out, that’s where most people begin. Even me as a trainer, I don’t wake up in the morning and think: “Hell yeah, time to do a workout session”....

First, you both have to examine your intentions and be on the same page about it. In other words, are you living together to see if you are compatible in the same house? Are you living together because one or both of you are avoiding (or putting off) marriage? If so, why are you doing this? Ideally, you have to have a long and honest conversation about why one or both of you want to live together without being married....

Open Spaces: The Good and The Bad Open offices are cost effective, mainly by maximizing floor space and lessening furniture overhead. More employees can be assigned on a floor with open offices compared to a floor with cubicles. A better sense of community is achieved with open offices, along with fostering cooperation, collaboration, innovation and creativity. The loudest advocates of open offices are those in information technology especially in Silicon Valley, advertising, and media....

You allot, for instance, an hour to write; and then after that hour take a break and, maybe, make lunch or do your washing. When you return to writing you are refreshed and organized. If you write freelance for different jobs this is a good way to stay on schedule between jobs. A similar concept is working for 45 minutes and taking 15 minute breaks – every hour. This works very well but a problem can occur, and that’s what Jonas Bonér talks about in this article....

You can use it to organise your icons in groups, just like how you organise your desk. There is a paper area for your work-in-progrss stuff, an aluminum plate for personal projects, a wooden desk yet-to-be-categorized stuff, and post-it for high priority items. Download the wallpaper and set it as your desktop background. Make sure you use centered layout. Get the clean dark version here or the light version here....

“In many instances, the likelihood of an individual succeeding (no matter what the goal) will be dependant on how uncomfortable that person is prepared to get and for how long.” C.A.H. The Application of the Information This morning I coached someone who asked me to expand on the ‘growth comes through discomfort’ theory. It’s something I’m always teaching and it’s a concept my client was having trouble getting her head around – from a practical application point of view....

This could be my message in a bottle. Years later, when I am long gone, you could find this somewhere hidden in your closet. I have these things that I need to tell you, but for some reason, I also have nothing to say to you anymore. For the last few days, we haven’t spoken to one another. You ask me to speak. I am strong, Marie. I usually feel extremely strong deep inside, and I have lots to say....

Ah, who can resist the call of the pirate’s life. Yo ho, ho yo, right? I was surprised to find recently that, while The Princess Bride’’s Dread Pirate Roberts is clearly a fictional character, there really was a dreaded pirate Roberts who sailed the high seas in the early 18th century, looting and pillaging at his ease. Unlike Westley’s predecessor, this Roberts was named not Cummerbund but Bartholomew, an equally less-than-fear-inducing name (though somewhat more suitable when shortened to Bart)....

aTimeLogger is a free application for the iPhone “for tracking your everyday activities.” Let’s take a look at what aTimeLogger has to offer for time tracking your life. Design aTimeLogger has a decent design setup with a grid of buttons for launching activities so you can start timing them quickly as well as a tabbed navigation for viewing activities, logs, categories, reports, and more settings. The background is set to a “chill” theme which is basically a cold looking stone background and with dark accents around the app, but you can simply change this by going to More > Settings > Other > Theme and picking something more to your liking....

Feature: Lighten your keychain – [DIY Mods]

GTD Tools — [Jeff Sandquist]

Why do you do what you do? Do you ever feel like you’re spinning your wheels? Is your life filled with activities and obligations that have no intrinsic meaning for you, things you do because you have to for one reason or another? Are you bored? I’ve been thinking about engagement since I interviewed Michael Lee Stallard last year and reviewed his book Fired Up or Burned Out, and lately I’ve been thinking about it a lot more....

The answer is that they hid the dirt in the tunnel. The prisoners stole nylon sacks from the prison bakery and each day they dug the tunnel and put the dirt into the sacks. At cell inspection times they pushed all the dirt bags back into the tunnel and tidied the cell. When the prisoners escaped the guards found a cell full of bags of dirt and an empty tunnel....
