Light Therapy as an antidote for the Winter Blahs is well-known. I'll pass on a couple of things that I have discovered on my own about the Winter Blahs. The...
For the last several years, resistance training has been my primary everyday exercise. I enjoy Summer hiking too, but regard it as recreation more then formal...
How do you measure well being? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't get soaked. Take a quick peak at the...
Good question. For most measurements, we have a digital or analog readout. For subjective measurements, like well-being, we could use a (self-rated) scale of 1...
I am experimenting with my exercise routine to see if I can do something about the arthritis in my hip that's been bothering me since October. I've had an...
HI Larry, I'm not so sure... maybe exercises on your hip would be better? I had a rotator cuff problem and exercise absolutely cured that... I wish I could...
Hi Linda, I know that my self-experiment sounds a little crazy. But it's no crazier than accupunture, where a technician sticks needles in certain parts of the...
An earlier post covered chapters 1 through 9 of this aged classic. I've come to like it more and may go back, re-read, and resummarize the earlier chapters. ...
This is my second pass at offering usable notes for this aged (1973) classic of time management. I really liked the chapters from 10 on. I'm not so sure...
The Time Trap is aimed at managers. Published in 1972, it predated by a year "How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life", by Alan Lakein. In 1970...
I've been doing a lot of research on time management lately and especially about the psychology of it. I've long been a fan of "Getting Things Done" by David...
Dennis -- I'm still reading your posts. Thanks. I don't have any brilliant or not-so-brilliant comments, but I'm reading. (OTOH, you're posting some of this...
I'll be posting the material on the time management "classics" on AnalogGTD, partially because these older books sometimes have something useful to say about...

Ch. 1 Make a list of three to five personal goals, either things you want or things you want to stop. Think them over and revise them over a couple of days....
Hi Dennis, I find this idea intriguing. Change is the whole idea behind self experimentation after all... I think in the beginning (when I first joined) I was...
My hip arthritis therapy experiment seems to be helping, although I won't be certain for another month. My first outing of the Summer season is usually the...
Larry: Glad you're still in the group. What you're reporting seems like excellent progress. In view of your drastic reduction of meat in your diet, have you...
I was in a second hand store... I found a box of 8 cassettes for weight control. I've been trying to unload the 10 pounds I gained over the winter. So... for...
Good shopping ! I, personally, am only reluctantly willing to experiment with self-affirmations. I think I am spoiled or jaded and need to get ones that...
Hey Dennis... Maybe you should make a tape of your own. One that would apply and appeal to men? You could list the affirmations that are TRUE for you - a...
Well, I DO need things to sell .... Dennis C. During "To make laws that man cannot, and will not obey, serves to bring all law into contempt." - Elizabeth Cady...

First, you may want to make a list of common expressions and metaphors that are mostly male, starting with: winning, "competitve edge", one-up, "pumping up", ...
I don't want to be just another cynic, I want to take to it a whole new level, to take it up a notch, to pump up the volume. Are my choices sports, war,...
Dennis, I realize I'm a newcomer but I have a theory on Affirmations versus Visualization. I used Self Hypnosis program for Childbirth (called Hypnobabies)...
Cath -- I'm only a sample of one, but I can't manage visualization, and I've tried off and on over the years. Maybe you're right that women are more verbal ...
