Watch the video ( about half way down the page ) by Shawn Achor, really positive stuff, and make you smile  ;D

Yes, it is humorous.  Also, the message is a very simple one - piggyback new desired habits onto the backs of pre-existing ones then pat yourself on the back each time you do so.  I like that concept.
The Ted talks have a wide range of subjects.  It has been a favourite site of mine for a while now.

a few tips that work for me as a sole trader

1.be organised(print invoices,write chits,purify water,charge battery,send texts etc the day before).

2.take a healthy packed lunch and flask.

3.worksheets/debtlists on smartphone.

4.get up 2 hours before you leave for work.

5.10 mins stretching/yoga first thing and 5 mins meditation/quiet time.

6.catch up with the morning news/weather/check in on ciu!

7.have a chilled out lazy breakfast and a few cups of tea/coffee.

8.take time to have a 5 min chat/laugh with your customers occasionally.

9."go with the flow" of the day.have a schedule but be a bit flexible.

10.dont try and cram too much work into one day.work steady but brisk.

11.dont work more than 6 or 7 hours "on the glass" per day.

12.dont put up with crap customers if you have a busy workload,dump em and move onto your next job. ;D
price higher/work harder!

in that case just go out and work in it mate.

would you rather be on here moaning about not working earning nothing and getting further behind schedule?or going to work,getting a bit wet and coming home with a wallet full of cash and cheques?

your choice! ;D

I normally do daz up to a certain point, but this last week has just been prolonged heavy rain almost daily.
Light rain or on-off showers, fine, but flood causing rain is pushing it I think!

I read this post this morn at 3.45 an thought ........... Stop it but never looked at the link  ;D

Just had a look then and I don't think I do 1  ??? Sorry Samson but they all good little ideas I just haven't the time.

Dazmond - I think it was number 4 ......... In my dreams mate I fall out of bed 10 mins before I leave the house but always have a brew to go with.

Am in the process of negotiations ....... If all goes well within 12 months I intend to cut back big time on the hours I do and take on board at least 10 things that make the working day more enjoyable.

Am not against meditation or yoga or any other relaxing methods I just haven't found what's right for me .... So I just do a few more hours each day......... At least this way ya have no probs sleeping haha

Dazmonds number 4 doesn't work for me either, get up and get out even have your breakfast in the van if needs be.
I find the longer you faff about the house the more time you have to think about getting out and the less appealing that
thought becomes.

I am just lazy, and don't chase the money like I did when I was young.  Got a good simple life, and feeling chilled out.
Some good ideas though in that video  ;D
