See what your brain lacks if you don't read fiction

By darinlhammond 1 day 19 hours ago on Self Improvement from www.zipminis.com

Obviously you enjoy reading. You are here. Intuitively you know the benefits of reading: broadening your knowledge, learning about other people, being familiar with classic human creations, and enhancing your imagination.

I was not always like you. I used to hate reading. I resisted it because it was difficult and boring. "Who needs Dickens, Hemingway,or Homer?" I thought. Eventually, I realized that I did.

I converted to an avid reader late in high school, plowing through books for a few specific reasons. I knew that smart people read. I heard that colleges required reading. I wanted to become someone intelligent and important. And, I became embarrassed by my own ignorance.

5 Minute single task test: Can you be distraction free?

By darinlhammond 7 days ago on Business from www.zipminis.com

Mines the difficulty in spending just 5 minutes focused on a single task without distraction because of the hectic, social environment we work in.

Notes that on average a person is interrupted more than 15 times in an hour, which has a dramatic effect on our efficiency and performance throughout the day. That equals 120 interruptions in eight hours, and not only is there the time spent with the disruption, perhaps even more time is required to refocus.

Supercharge your energy levels and focus less on time

By darinlhammond 11 days ago on Business from www.zipminis.com

Mines the unlimited potential to increase your energy levels, in contrast to the finite 24 hours in a day, which you cannot extend.

Notes that focusing on time leads to counterproductive tactics to speed up your work. You end up sacrificing healthy nutrition, sleeping patterns, and natural energy by attempting to amp up your productivity and save time. The result is lower energy levels, which cause poor decision making, reduced efficiency, and crashed thinking.

Change your life ... will others disapprove?

By officenomore 190 days ago on Personal Blogs from changeyourlife.net

Most of us know, consciously or subconsciously, that we are heading in the wrong direction, but we stick to it. People generally assume that this is how it is supposed to be. If you try to change this situation, you will certainly encounter a lot of resistance in your immediate entourage.
