«The value of persistence comes not from stubbornly clinging to the past. It comes from a vision of the future that’s so compelling you would give almost anything to make it real.» Steve Pavlina

Envision what ypu want to achieve and see what you need to change – it’s not the momentum that’s keeping you conservative, it’s your mindset.

The first step to better managing your time is to find out how you’re currently spending your time. Keeping a time log is a very effective way to do this, and after trying it for just one day, you’ll immediately gain tremendous insight into where your time is actually going. The very act of measuring is often enough to raise your unconscious habits into your consciousness, where you then have a chance to scrutinize and change them.
You may be surprised to discover you’re spending only a small fraction of your working time doing what you’d consider to be actual work.
Keep a detailed time log. Analyze your results. Calculate your personal efficiency ratio. Variate total hours to increase efficiency.
The clock is ticking.
“You see something you want in life, go for it. Don’t think twice, go for it”.
I often stop and think of what I can do better. Then it’s too late. That is the problem.
1. Nootropics surprisingly help a lot. They aren’t bad for health, they’re like vitamins. You don’t get that from pizza and coke. They make the balls in your head roll around smoother. Now I recommend them.

2. Also, what really helps me is GTD – Getting Things Done. It’s a method of keeping your plans, goals, and “next action” lists on paper, to free your mind from idle loops. You have to trust it, keep it close and updated. Keep your mind clean and ready for fresh info.
3. Associative thinking + habit of redefining terms in your own words. Redefine it in a way you’d remember. Use your imagination. Surprise yourself. And visualize. That’s basics of mnemonics.
In short, memory is a thing to be cared for, and it’ll work better. Good luck.
Can you identify who you are? Where you stand, where you’re going? Your primary goals in life? What do you have a passion for? How do you spend your time? Consciously? Are you happy with it? Can you identify reason behind all your actions? Are most of them habits? Do you have an opinion? Is it your opinion? A mind of your own?
By identifying the things that make one tick, one can gain confidence in himself. Gain control over life. Gain understanding of others. One can consiously begin to make decisions that will help acheive his goals.
What makes you laugh? Scared? Freak out? What would you love for?
Choose your future. Choose a life. Choose your goals. Choose your friends. Choose your time. But first know yourself.
I’ve visited Prague, the heart of Europe. For the first time. And I loved it. Oh yeah.

I’ve learned not to dicate my will for things like this – email clients… Who cares if I find it most effective? Anyone who does will ask me personally.
No dictating my will on other mortals!
I’m too young to make such decisions. I’ll get a house in California after I’ve travelled around the rest of the crapy world. ;)
It’s a matter of time when the distinction of one’s understading of the word «amazing» is lost in the interesting world we have around us. There’s too much beauty in the world.
Easy. It’s intuitively esy to learn. Syntax is simple, logic is simple. A one night thing.
A little search and everything’s already chewed and waiting for you. This thing’s extremely popular, making it easy to find examples on the web.
Why doesn’t the world see, that this email client is the best out there? It does almost everything for you, quickly and painlessly. It boosted my productivity so damn much, that I can’t stop myself from telling about it to everyone. Try to find a more productive & feature full email client — I dare you.
It’s just freaky how such a fantastic browser hasn’t captured the browser market yet.
People, come on, make your life easier with the best tools! Save yourself time and energy. Get the best experience of surfing the net.
Lived there for 7 years and can’t wait to get back. The golden state. Think about it: it’s by the pacific ocean, it’s got a nice microclimat, there’s multiple huge cities, plenty of sight-seeing, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, LA, San Francisco…. what more could you want from a state?
It’s a contry full of honest, friendly people, totally unlike america and most other contries. Their culture will impress just about everyone.
