Thu, 16 Feb 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Who has not watched intelligent, educated, good-hearted people unable to create the lives they desired, who eventually give up, consumed with despair and anger? They flail like gorillas on roller skates, with great strength, but no leverage at all.

How To Spice Up Your Lecture Notes For Better Grades

Mon, 22 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0100

When taking notes on a lecture, there are two extremes that present themselves -- to take exceedingly full notes, or to take almost no notes. One can err in either direction. At first, a full blow-by-blow transcript of the lecture might seem best. However, you'll find that this isn't necessary. In fact, you might see that this style of note-taking might end up hampering your efforts. Many lecturers will highlight your assigned reading the night before. This isn't worth writing down twice, as you... (Read All)

Thu, 09 Mar 2006 00:00:00 +0100

David sat in front of me at one of my five-day intensive workshops. A successful businessman with a wife and two grown children, David believed that he was not good enough.

?I?m insufficient,? he said. ?I?m inadequate.?

I looked at this kind man and felt deep sadness for him. He did not know who he was.

?Why do you believe that?? I asked.

?I didn?t do well in school, and I?ve made lots of mistakes in my life.?

The Perrfectionist Demon!

Mon, 10 Apr 2006 00:00:00 +0100

One of the worst habits you can have is to be a perfectionist. Most people do not even realize that being a perfectionist leads to the horrible habit of procrastination - putting off the things that you know need to be done.

Do You Have Problems Getting Things Done?

Wed, 14 Sep 2005 00:00:00 +0100

Probably the most common element that I see in clients who can't get things done is interruption. The kids, spouse, or other obligations are always "getting in the way" of their music careers.
