Scott is obsessed with personal development. For the last ten years, he's been experimenting to find out how to learn and think better. I believe that a sign of good information is that it makes you think. If reading a book, listening to a lecture or watching a video doesn’t change how you think, it probably isn’t that important. But if you encounter something that forces you to change your views,
Art is a great status symbol in modern society and because of that it can be quite intimidating to the casual viewer. For many the first impulse is to blow it off, to see it as a worthless plaything for the rich and boring. This is too bad, not only because art can be a great source of pleasure in our lives, but because even a passing acquaintance with art can enrich and deepen our understanding o
Gideon at Scholastici.us had some advice for students recently, saying that when it comes to scholarly reading, there really is no substitute for hard work, for actually sitting down and reading. Most the time in school what you need to do is very simple: Sit down with the book, a pen and paper, and perhaps a computer… And from that point, you read. That’s it. You go through and read the book, you

Overcoming the emotional hurdle to getting stuff done when you’d rather sit on the couch isn’t always easy. But unless calling in sick and waking up at noon has no consequences for you, it’s often a must. For
If you find yourself constantly feeling bored, it’s important to realize that boredom and feeling too busy are the same problem. Some people claim I’m being too ambitious, trying to strike down chronic boredom and busyness at the same time. I’d argue that the only way to take them out is simultaneously. The problem stems from how you manage your attention. Both boredom and busyness stem from feeli

As long as your feet stay planted on the ground here, twenty four is all you’re going to get. However, with a bit of skill you can squeeze out a couple more hours to add to your day. Here’s how: Step One: Remove B
Note-taking is one of those skills that rarely gets taught. Almost everyone assumes either that taking good notes comes naturally or, that someone else must have already taught about how to take notes. Then, we sit around and complain that our colleagues don’t know how to take notes effectively. I figure it’s about time to do something about that. Whether you’re a student or a mid-level profession
Why bother showing up early when you can blame any number of things for “making” you late? There’s traffic, a convenient ally when you need her. A distant cousin to traffic would be a freeway accident, which of course creates traffic. Then there’s the blatantly obvious excuse of sleeping through the alarm which causes you to get on the freeway late and immerse yourself in- you guessed it- traffic.

Putting away a portion of your income into an investment plan creates more money later. With interest rates and financial pundits it is easy to see why financial investment makes sense. But what about investment in other areas? Do you inv
Craig is an editor and web developer who writes about happiness and motivation at Lifehack Coasting through life? Have you been following the same path since high-school? I’m not so righteous to assume this isn’t the right path for some people, but are you on auto-pilot? In many circumstances, knowing where you will be in 5 years time is a good thing as it is a sign that you have direction, goals,
Donald Latumahina is the founder of Life Optimizer, a self-improvement blog to help people reach their full potential. Most people recognize a champion only when he steps up the podium, but he actually has become a champion far before it. In fact, he has become a champion years before that glorious moment. Why? Because to reach that moment, first and foremost he has to become a champion in his dai
Nobody likes being criticised but, unfortunately it is a fact of life. To be able to respond to criticism with nobility and detachment is an important life skill, which few people have. If we respond to criticism without careful consideration, it can easily lead to unnecessary suffering. 1. What Can I Learn from Criticism? Most criticism is probably based, at least in part, on some truths. Critici
It’s a myth that you will one day be able to go home from a clear desk. It’s never going to happen. The plain truth is that there will always be work undone at the end of the day. This gives you three options: 1) Go home, but take the work with you and spend your evening doing it. This ensures maximum friction at home, minimum rest, and returning to work next day tired before you start. 2) Drag yo
A little while back, I wrote about ways for students to add a little extra “kick” to their research papers. Those strategies were meant for students who had already mastered the basics of performing research, not students just getting started doing research and writing papers. As with writing, though, research skills are rarely taught very clearly — professors assume students know or can figure ou
