Where Am I Now? There are lots of tools, techniques, and programs for tracking your daily cycles, but I found most to be overly complex. My goal is to simply capture at what times of the day I tend to be more creative, alert, tired, etc. The easiest way I found, is to use a timer, and every hour write down where I am on a scale from one to ten in 3 areas – energy level, creative level, and yap level....

So what happens if your partner doesn’t show up in this way? What if your partner’s words and actions even seem a little mean or hostile? There are many forms of abuse and sometimes, one can experience more than one of these by an abuser. The first thing that comes to mind usually is physical abuse or domestic violence; however, there are other forms of abuse that can go overlooked and not addressed because they don’t bear the same physical marks....
While many kids are smart enough to overcome this, others become spoiled children, and can eventually grow up to be spoiled adults. While spoiled children are not that big a deal, when they grow up this can become a bigger problem, as they may feel entitled to things without doing anything to earn or deserve them. However, if you teach your child sound values while they are young, they may grow up and leave such behavior behind....

The perpetual myth that coding requires intelligence is an absolute fabrication. Anybody can learn the basics of coding with some basic math skills and the ability to read resources when a problem arises. Many of the richest and most successful people in the world started off coding with the most basic of programs. It is a shame most schools don’t teach coding, but with resources so readily available on the internet, the schools will not hold you back....
Anyone will assume they already know what goals are, they’ve probably been setting goals all their lives. However, when we get too familiar with certain concepts, we tend to forget their real meaning and essence. Hence, it is not surprising that people set many goals but achieve too little. When you don’t understand what goals are or what they are meant to be, you might scribble anything on paper and call them goals and then get frustrated when you fail to achieve them....
Before I got a coach, I used to run aimlessly with no plan, and no target races. More often than not, I would end up injured and find my season-ending after achieving very little. Once I got a coach, I started winning races that mattered and began enjoying my sport. This annual process taught me from a very early age that goals are important if I want to achieve the things that are valuable to me....
We all worry. The same wonderful tools our brain uses to imagine new innovations and solve complex problems, also has a habit of looking for trouble – even when it may not exist. Mid-terms, budget overruns, bug counts, first dates, performance anxiety – worry likes to stick its nose into every aspect of our lives. No matter how silly or unlikely a scenario may seem, it is very real to you....

When I rescued my dog, Julep, I was so excited. I had wanted my own dog for as long as I could remember and couldn’t wait to get one. I looked for a rescue dog for a long time, and as soon as I saw her, I knew she would be mine. She was the tiniest puppy in her litter and was neglected. I found her in what was obviously a puppy mill and was determined to save her....
Is Your Team Too Big? Too Small? What’s the Right Number? – [Knowledge@Wharton] In the work world, says Wittenberg, it has been “reinforced that five or six is the right number (on a team). At least for us, it gives everyone a real work out. But frankly, I think it depends on the task.” Recent research by Mueller would seem to support Wittenberg’s notion that preparation for team success is vital....
Don’t Ever Leave Without Saying I Love You Honestly, this is really important. My mom died last year and I can still feel the amount of love she had for me in her last “I love you.” I, of course, told her I loved, her but it was almost a distracted comment at the time. She knew it would be our last goodbye and last “I love you,” so with the power she had left, she said it with so much passion that it still makes me feel warm today....
This is very sad, and it’s an easy trait to fall into. After all, when things seem to be going well, we generally decide to stick with what is so obviously working. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” the saying goes. Paradoxically, whenever things are going well may be exactly the right time to take some risks and make a few changes. The reasons? Life changes. If you’re doing well now, the only way (usually) is down, so it’s time to find a new way to prosper, before the old one gives out....

How do you guys feel about this? I think it’s quite well put together, although I’ve never felt the need to analyze these things this much. When To Use Email & When Not To – [HowToSaveWorld]
Do You Truly Appreciate What You Have? Gratefulness and appreciation for what we have may sound like a typical clichéd way to achieve happiness, but in doing so you are training your mind to focus on the abundance in your life rather than what is lacking. When we focus on lack, we feel like failures. In fact, by doing this we are only making comparisons with others who are on a completely different path from ourselves....
Release yourself from the blame game Taking responsibility for your life means that you need to stop playing the blame game. It’s easy to fall into the trap of blaming: blaming the current government for the lack of money in your paycheck, blaming cold tennis balls for a poorly played tennis match, or blaming red lights for your late arrival at work. The time has come to accept responsibility for your actions....
