Hello all. I’m here to close out the decade for you. If I don’t do it, it might not occur. In this post, as in some other posts you may have seen on other personal development sites, I will be reflecting upon 2009 in relation to Timeless Information, which also rhymes (relation / Information). Reflection is very important, because when you reflect, you see how much ground you have covered, which gives you more motivation, and also shows you what you need to do next. I have also included pictures of colorful flowers throughout the review. I appreciate that you read my articles. Here is the review:

“No one who can rise before dawn 360 days a year fails to make his family rich.” – Chinese proverb
Many people look for the big answer to take them from where they currently are to a state of fulfillment and lower stress. This quote has a definitive answer for how to do that. It isn’t often that you find something so direct, so it is valuable to have, and very fitting to follow. Here I discuss some of what the quote is saying, and what you can do to get on the victory train:

This post connects to Hulbert’s post over at From Bottom Up about no longer using his pen name of ‘Tristan’. To give some background on the article, he was using the name ‘Tristan’ on his site and various sites, instead of his real name ‘Hulbert’, partly due to being self-conscious.

Let’s say you have figured out some productive methods, and are now looking to increase your productivity. Cutting out something you enjoy doing should not be your first plan of action. Cutting it out completely should probably not be one of your plans of action at any time either. Things you enjoy doing recharge you, but thinking of them that way makes them sound like required activities. This takes away from their enjoyment.

If you feel stuck in some predicament, and don’t like to think about how to work your way out of it, it can be easier for you to write your way out of it. Writing or typing your way out of an issue is something you can use to release some tension you have, and you will also end up with a copy you can check later, if you want to use it as a blueprint for later actions. There are other ways to also work through your issues, like talking to yourself, or talking to someone else, or reading a guide, and each have their advantages. Here I talk about the writing option.

Hello all. Once in a while, I like to mention a few sites that stick out in my mind. Hopefully these sites that I mention will continue going, as a few of the sites I have mentioned before are no longer around or updated, but I don’t think that will be the case with any of these here. I like pointing out certain sites, because the writers behind them either are bringing in loads of energy and effort, or have a recurring message or theme that they are presenting, or are great people for our society to applaud. After that I will link to the podcast I made last week, which includes me talking about a lot of site-writers that I read from. After that I will include an embedded personal development writers map that I made, if you had not seen it through a link from me elsewhere.

For this post, I am going to pretend I don’t have any readers, and that I’m writing an appropriate message to myself. I will see if this changes my writing in some way.
A lot of what I write is about short-term vs. long-term decisions. Short-term decisions are labeled “bad”, and long-term decisions are labeled “good”. Short-term decisions all the instant gratification ones, and long-term decisions are the delayed gratification ones.
How is long-termness maintained?
