Something for the people who work in 33?
lifehack.org: "Is anyone calling Steve Pavlina a guru yet? On his blog he’s now added 33 rules that’ll boost your productivity."

Like most "self-help" attempts, this was another one that to me, feels as if it is missing something. It is full of great ideas, however nothing to make the person follow through. So much of this is easier said than done, and I think we need more instructions on how to follow these rules, not how to read them off a computer screen.
Every time I see one of these, I can only think about little miss sunshine and how the father is constantly trying to push his thoughts of life improvement on everybody. But the problem is that really if you read on, more than likely you just get the same info from another list with changed verbiage.
I agree with Jordan here and can't help but think that the problem here is really that people just need to learn to slow down to their own level. If they just function at their own level and don't overexhert themselves then things would get done right and they wouldn't need help.
In accordance with Jordan and Ryan, I think these articles sound the same. It's really all about self-esteem pushers and forcing certain words into it. If you just take your time and know your limits these things wouldn't need to be said but then again it's a real industry now. Anyone can write a self-help book especially with all the technology out.

So, i read the first one and got somewhat excited. There's a lot of things i'd like to cross off my list, but alas, i cannot.
and haha, '33' and 'Productivity' in the same sentence, most will get the joke
