Scheduling Context Zones Now, maybe GTD the book has this in there, and I’ve forgotten it over time. Remember, I’m more a disciple of Covey who tends to use GTD where I can.

Which in turn affects their ultimate usefulness.

Examining efficiency in automobiles: a fuel efficient vehicle gets more miles to the gallon. A car with a mile per gallon (mpg) rating of 50, like a Toyota Prius, is thought to be a mighty efficient car. And it is. However, a Prius wouldn’t always be an effective car.

It is also interesting to see his plan on dividing his saving into different categories, such as retirement savings, long term savings, short-term savings/irregular expenses, and fun money. Committed expenses: Basic food and clothing needs. Essential household expenses. Insurance premiums. Charitable contributions. All of our bills — even such non-essentials as our satellite TV service. ALL of our taxes. I’m not saying that 60% is a magic number. It’s a workable goal for my family, and it’s a nice round number....

Plus, did you know that saving money can lower your stress level? It also opens the door for you to never have to say “no” to making a purchase that you really want or need. Saving money is difficult, right? Surely only those who have mastered the art of self-control can possibly manage to create an aggressive budget that makes room for savings.

Several months later one of my family members fell ill. Once again I turned to my support system. This time, however, their response was a bit different. It wasn’t that they didn’t care per se, they expressed their feelings a bit differently. I sensed that they couldn’t quite feel where I was coming from. They seem to be more understanding and emotionally supportive during my break up. Their lukewarm and slightly distant responses left me feeling angry, confused and hurt....

You see, biological factors aside, a primary cause of depression with any person is the reluctance to accept expectations not being met in life....

However, considering the fact that people place a lot of value on physical appearances and base first impressions on them, fashion can and should be used as a tool here.
