For starters, I want you to know that I am huge fan of the ZenHabits-blog, so my recommendations for today are mostly from them.

1. In one way or another, we all get tired at some point to work at the same project, or doing the same stuff. so, we have here a “A Guide to Cutting Back When You Feel Overwhelmed”.

There are days in everyone’s life when they feel overwhelmed by the stresses and tasks and projects and phone calls and emails that weigh upon them. Yes, even the minimalists like me get overwhelmed from time to time.

How do you deal with it? There are many ways, of course, from eating and smoking and drinking to exercise and meditation and more.

My recommendation: Cut back. Simplify. De-load.

2.  I really like reading motivational articles. It motivates me, and that is happening … daily. So, here is a ” Top 20 Motivation Hacks – An Overview”

Achieving goals is not a matter of having “discipline”. It’s a matter of motivating yourself, and keeping your focus on your goal. Follow these hacks, or any combination of them that works for you, and you should have the motivation and focus you need.

Here they are, in reverse order (links take you to more on each)…

3. I like this Christmas-New Year’s Eve period. It’s when we all think about what we did in the year that has just passed, and we make plans for the one that’s about to come. But, do we really stick to this exact plan?  “The Definitive Guide to Sticking to Your New Year’s Resolutions.”

Let’s face it: most of us fail when it comes to sticking to resolutions — so much so that many people swear never to make resolutions again.

And yet the rest of us are eternally hopeful when the New Year comes around, believing without any credible evidence that we can improve our lives, that change is possible, that we’re not going to be stuck in the same old rut again this year.

I’m here to tell you that you can do it. It’s possible. I’ll show you how.

4. Al last but not least, from the Dumb Little Man – Blog,  I have something that’s going to help us mantain our plans for the next year. And that is Ten Essential Time Management Tips

It doesn’t matter whether you’re self-employed, employed or a student: over the past six years, I’ve been an undergraduate student, a full-time employee, a part-time postgraduate student, and a freelancer – and these tips work for all those situations!

Daily No Comments December 29th, 2009

Today I discovered some interesting articles, that I would like to share with you.

1. Jason Womack from Your Best Just Got Better blog, wrote an interesting article about Project Management Institute (PMI) and about his experience in the past few yeas as a project manager. He speaks about opportunities, great ideas that you have and loose, probably because you don’t write them down in the very minute, but I will leave you to read the rest of the article.

2. The Dumb Little Man Team, is really inspiring. Today I read and article about How to become more Intelligent. well, that’s not something new, and I guess we all want that!

Knowing a great deal is not the same as being intelligent; intelligence is not information “alone,” but also judgment, the manner in which information is collected and used. -Dr. Carl Sagan

3. The third article I recommend for today, belongs to the OrganizeIT and it is also a question for al you GTD users. How did you learn GTD?

I hope you like these ones!

Enjoy your reading!
