Research

Steven Pressfield's trick with research

"Here's what I do. In my non-working hours, I'll read the stuff I need for research. I buy the books, rather than take them out from the library. That way I'm free to mark them up, dog-ear, underline, highlight. Then each morning I take the first hour at the keyboard to transcribe those notes into files. This is an excellent warm-up for the day; it gets me filling pages without having to do any really hard work. And it's a good way to steep myself in the material. The trick, for me, is to limit this research time to a single hour. Then I stop. Religiously. The next three hours are real work."

Most of the time too many research stops you by start your work.

Missing missing

You miss someone. You feel alone. You wanted to see him in many ways, but the ego tell you not. You tell yourself should I go to see him and you find many ways to see him. You even talk to your friend about 'your friend' missing someone and ask your friend what should he/her do if you missing someone? But, sometimes you think the act is so wrong, but sometimes is so right. What you want to do? Ooo... let it go... let it go.... when let it go... you no need to be so ego, you no need to lie your friend and yourself... and you no need to be so wrong and so right about it.... Let it go...

The Great Swimmer

The different between a good swimmer and the great one. In competition almost immediately after you hit the water, you enter the Pain Zone. It hurts and it gets worse every meter you go. The great swimmer are the one who can go deeper into the the Pain Zone and stay longer.
