Making Change

Take at least one action every day that moves you towards your goals. It may seem a bit obvious, but too many people plan their success, dream of success, but never get started. It is very important to get into action. Today and every day do at least one thing that is part of making your dreams come true.


This may be obvious but it's something I read today that really struck a chord with me for some reason. It's simple... just start.

Kinda reminds me of something Jim would say... "Just start with something... anything... as long as it moves you towards your goal."

Nothing deep here, just something that I wanted to take note of.

Have a good day everyone.

Has anyone read...

The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit by Sloan Wilson?

Happy Discardia!

March 19 marks the start of Discardia... the time of year you clean out and make room for the new. From lifehacker.com:

Discardia is celebrated by getting rid of stuff and ideas you no longer need. It's about letting go, abdicating from obligation and guilt, being true to the self you are now. Discardia is the time to get rid of things that no longer add value to your life, shed bad habits, let go of emotional baggage and generally lighten your load.



Actually, I'm in the mood lately where I want to clean out but not bring in any new. Kinda fed up with the push to consume that big business relentlessly pushes on us at every turn. (check out the story of stuff)

Anyway, Happy Discardia everyone!

Too much bacn?

from lifehacker.com

Bacn is:

Email you receive that isn't spam... And isn't personal mail. It's the middle class of email. It's notifications of a new post to your Facebook wall or a new follower on Twitter. It's the Google alert for your name and the newsletter from your favorite company.


I think I have too much bacn. I'm going to have to start being more aggressive with using the delete key.

Now if only the "unsubscribe" option really worked...
