  • To-Do Lists are essential if you're going to beat work overload.

  • in a sales-type role, a good way to motivate yourself is to keep your To-Do List relatively short, and aim to complete it every day.
  • Or, imagine you're in a sales role and have a long list of people who you need to talk to. You write out a list of everyone you need to call and every client you need to see, and start prioritizing.

      If you work best at night, don't work in the morning, you won't be productive. I think this is a very important point.

  • the anxiety tends to persist and may even become worse
  • I recently wrote about the things I do to (attain and) maintain mental health, and in an earlier post I wrote about my choice to live intentionally, to live an examined life:
  • It only requires pausing in your day, or even in your week or month, to be aware of your interior and exterior worlds.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • What am I doing? Is it what I want to be doing? Is there a change I’d like to see? Can I bring it about? What path am I on; is it likely to bring me to where I want to go?
  • By interior world I mean thoughts, feelings, wishes, desires, discomfort, contentment, hopes, satisfaction, anger, delight… a kind of mindfulne
  • I was very interested to see that my intuition about using mindfulness to cope with stress and anxiety was borne out in a small Danish study that was published this past April
  • The women participating in the study had been diagnosed with breast cancer at Stage I, II or III and had undergone surgery
  • In any case, the statistical results are far less important to me than my lived experience: mindfulness exercises and meditation and living an examined life help me to cope better with stress and anxiety, and that is all the proof I need

      There currently are way to many car accidents every year to due a lack of concentration by the driver. So many innocent lives have been ended tragically early due to carelessness of other drivers on the road, it truly is very sad

      This article is about the dangers of texting on a cell phone while driving and how it takes away from our mindfulness. Multitasking severely decreases our focus and is not a practice of mindfulness. The author explains how mindfulness is important as it allows us to focus on one task at a time. Our cell phone use is an addiction that spikes our dopamine levels through the satisfaction we get from every text or notification. This addiction causes us to not be mindful sometimes and even do something as stupid as text and drive just because we do not realize it or cannot help it.

      This article, instead of setting up a rigid list of guidelines, allows for the trouble one can go through when writing, and encourages you to embrace what you can't control.
  • That’s right, almost paradoxically, a state of “no-mind” can produce excellent results in your life in terms of creativity and productivity.
  • getting a ‘feel’ for what you are writing, rather than merely analyzing the content.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • deep breath
  • Instead of demanding of yourself that your work meet a certain standard, ask yourself “what would I like to write if I could write anything in the world?”
  • Recognize that “If’s” have their purpose, but just ask yourself if you could let go of the particular “if” for just this moment.
  • The need for perfection
  • 1. Analysis paralysis
  • Being good enough
  • Letting your opinion of yourself shape the quality of your writing is something we all do but few of us realize
  • Motivation and rationalization (“I’ll do it tomorrow”)
  • Become mindful that you are withdrawing into yourself and ruminating, rather than expressing yourself externally. Notice when you begin thinking about a task rather than doing it and ask yourself “would I rather internalize and think right now to no end or would I rather be producing something real right now?” Use mindfulness to catch yourself and transform rumination into action on-the-spot.

      Appreciate this post Rob. I like this tie here between mindfulness and immediate mindful action.
  • Becoming mindful of the value you assign your writing involves setting aside time every day to write and treating it as almost a “sacred space.”
