Yep. - IanPR, on 12/12/2008, -2/+25Boring article... check.
Hot chick as picture... check.
Instant front page. :D - spyd3rweb, on 12/12/2008, -1/+23"Reduce time spent browsing the Internet."
Buried as blasphemy! - bigfatphony19, on 12/12/2008, -0/+19I want to have sex with the thumbnail. Will this help me achieve that?
- saucy05, on 12/12/2008, -0/+19Tip: If you are going to write guidelines to lazy people, make it short.
- Schooley02, on 12/11/2008, -0/+15I think this is exactly why procrastination and me are such good friends!
- greenlight2001, on 12/12/2008, -1/+13You write like you're in 7th grade. Go do your homework.
- StigNordas, on 12/11/2008, -0/+11This makes way too much sense. I need something a bit more irrational like 'get off your ass and exercise and women will like you more.'
- cubicledrone, on 12/12/2008, -0/+10"What is keeping you where you are instead of reaching your desired destination?"
Middle management. - kufurex, on 12/12/2008, -0/+8Yes, just wipe down your monitor after.
- Kyora, on 12/12/2008, -0/+5And I see this night I start cramming for my orgo final tomorrow... How convenient.
- rolf, on 12/12/2008, -0/+5Simple Focus: I think the cause of mediocrity is attempting to do too many things "good enough" than to do too a few things well. Everyone wants to be good at everything, it just doesn't work that way.
There has been study after study that how good you are at something is directly correlated by the number of hours you work at it. A simple truth, but so many people try to cheat that system through various gimmicks. - gkjones, on 12/12/2008, -0/+5yawn. After reading a third of that article, the only thing I felt motivated to do was close the tab.
- rootsm3, on 12/12/2008, -0/+5How about just ***** do it? Everytime I find myself being a real nelly about doing something I should, I smack myself in the face and say "DO IT!!!"
- plarp, on 12/12/2008, -0/+5self help pyramid scheme blogging..
*sigh* all this tina girl does is write self help articles about how she rules, and you can also be awesome.. just do exactly what she says.. just remember if you don't come out being awesome.. you probably messed up on one of her rules.. - doublefelix, on 12/12/2008, -0/+5Remember all those dreams you had as a child? Well you really ARE too old now to realistically become a professional baseball player.
- SolusIam, on 12/12/2008, -1/+5doesn't*? or are you sooooo easy too?
- dizmoz, on 12/12/2008, -0/+4"My low point came a few weeks ago, when I realized that I hadn’t been outside for seven days straight (Eeeek!). "
hahahahha
I soooo beat that... oh that's not a good thing? - Tolzmaniac, on 12/12/2008, -0/+4#5- Get off Digg
- fightingforair, on 12/12/2008, -0/+4Ugh, is there something shorter I can read that can motivate me to read that whole thing?
- rootsm3, on 12/12/2008, -0/+4Amen to that.
- elitemarketer, on 12/12/2008, -0/+3To me, the reason most people, including me don't get &^%$ done is because we THINK TO DAMN MUCH! How many times have you spend hours and hours dreading the thought of doing something that takes maybe a minute...
ie. Damn I have to take out the trash or she's gonna start screaming... lol Ahh screw it, right after this show... Show ends, Ahh as soon as the 1st commercial is done on this new show and on and on she goes...
If you just do things without thinking and "anal"izing then you will be golden. If not, you won't get anything done and be in a miserable mood thinking about what needs to be done.
Ever realize how much easier things are to get done when your excited or in a good mood? Why? Because your not thinking NEGATIVE *&^%!
I train people on "How To Make Money Online" and my training is Videos of me doing what my clients need to do! Why? SO they don't have to think about what to do, they just copy me so they can sit there thinking of what their doing later while getting "work" done.
I have done a lot of research on this topic, actually the idea came to me because its what I wanted but couldnt find out there.. lol
Thats my .02!I - iwilldigg, on 12/12/2008, -0/+3You are right!, how we would've found this article without browsing internet..
- bigfatphony19, on 12/12/2008, -0/+3I tried my best. This article didn't help.
- roxgod666, on 12/12/2008, -0/+3I think i'm supposed to be working on a project that's due tomorrow. Ehh i have plenty of time.
- Stevethegreat, on 12/12/2008, -0/+3What does that even mean? Pleasure IS the lack of pain, either psychological or physical. If you truly do everything right to avoid pain then by definition you'll get pleasure, the thing is that by "avoiding pain" we choose a different kind of pain, for example in this case it is the guilt of being out of shape (if you lived in a remote island you wouldn't even care for that and as such not joking would not be painful)
In a case of studies done to hermaphrodites of which kind of orgasm is the best the consensus was almost universal that the female orgasm is by FAR better than that of the male one, and guess what the female orgasm is, in neurological terms, complete lack of pain, driven by what the Buddhists call "empty mind". That's right, the female brain goes (almost) completely silent and THAT'S the best kind of pleasure known to humans. It is independently confirmed by Buddhist monks during the meditative state (measured by FMRI scans), they just call it differently but neurologically AND the effects of it are very similar to female orgasm (only done for a period of time and as such it is not so "violently" perceived, unlike a "burst" of emptiness that -some- girls feel during sex).
In opposition the male orgasm only shuts down part of the neural activity (mostly motor imperatives) while it lights up a core in our reptilian brain (the most ancient part of our brain), which neuroscientists call it affectionately the sex, drugs and rock 'n roll part of the brain as it is during those activities that it also lights up (accompanied by dopamine rushes).
Since it is dopamine rushes what most people think as pleasure, while in fact it is the effects of dopamine what our brain identifies as pleasure (numbing of the pain centers, which under normal circumstances fire almost continuously), I can only conclude that the "Did you know that we will do more to avoid pain than we will to gain pleasure?", makes no sense at all. *No ***** Sherlock*... - Ari1, on 12/17/2008, -0/+3all these funny comments're actually more interesting to read than the article itself ;)
- maragarine, on 12/12/2008, -1/+4ahhh not that law of attraction ***** again, i thought we were over that? I think ***** positive thinking was a major driving force behind the economic crisis.
- Coottie, on 12/12/2008, -0/+3I stopped reading here...."I’m confident that since I have kept it up for two weeks, then surely, I can keep it up for a month. And if I can consistently do it for a month, I will have habituated the activity into my daily rhythm and be able to keep it up indefinitely."
uh yeah....until you find something else to distract you like you discussed in the previous paragraph. Look, I'm happy you have 2 weeks under your belt but I won't be convinced you've conquered anything until you makes it at least 1 year. Yeah I'm cynical but I've seen it all before. - lurrker, on 12/12/2008, -0/+3I'm a woman, and I find her pleasant. Do you have issues with men? I don't.

"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion" Sir Francis Bacon - NickLee808, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2Dugg for ADD.
- JEWestbrookJR, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2This is the perfect article to coincide with my life as of late. Just a month ago, I was miserable with my job and my hometown (Wichita, KS) and was pretty overweight. I just one day decided to quit talking about changing my life and just dove into it. I found a fantastic job in San Francisco, where I have been for just over a week, and started dieting and exercising regularly and have since lost 40 pounts. I can't believe it took me years of bitching to just finally do something to achieve my goals. I can't believe how much happier I am now.
- chipset, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2No *****, Beavis.
- LaGStAr, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2If your leg actually does hurt, you probably shouldn't exercise. I run everyday, but my knee started to hurt and then I kept running on it and running on it, until I it became really mangled. Now, I can't run for a couple weeks. The moral of the story is, if something hurts, don't push it, take a day off, or else you may be taking a lot more time off then you'd like later.
- britoca, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2how can I achieve nothing?
- passedoutghost, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2Music, the one degree that's more worthless than liberal arts.
*****, I just shot myself in the foot, I'm doing ancient history. - simonowens, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2Wow, not only does this guy not know how to use commas correctly, his sole qualification for writing this blog post is that he was able to run and walk every other day for a whole 14 days! Buried.

- NickLee808, on 12/12/2008, -1/+3Ask if you can get a refund for your tuition.
Then use said refund to get an education in English. - inactive, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2@lurrker: what a name do you have issues ?
men often find a rather ordinarily cute girl to be some incredible masterpiece of nature
they exaggerate or to put it another way so easy to impress
no wonder they say that the most truly beautiful women are rarely asked out it must be because guys are over impressed with even rather ordinary girls so a real beauty would be too much for them - ACiDGRiM, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2I want to have sex.
Reduce time spent browsing the Internet. - inactive, on 12/13/2008, -0/+2not when you also have a music business degree
there is a lot going on in music outside of the recording companies
for example tour production is big - thesanto, on 12/17/2008, -0/+2Interesting topic, taking action is the key to stay motivated. We have to related not doing whatever we want to accomplish with pain and accomplishing our goals with pleasure.

- Coottie, on 12/12/2008, -0/+2Stolen directly from Anthony Robins who's been saying this for many years now. However, I'm pretty sure he stole it from someone before him.
- georgegijo, on 12/16/2008, -0/+2Pain of not doing comes later.
- eest155, on 12/12/2008, -0/+1Just link to Tony Robbin's motivational stuff... that IS what she's spouting anyway. If you want to achieve a goal, quit talking and DO something for god's sake!
- diomedes31, on 12/12/2008, -1/+2Thanks for that :) Great way to kill the last five minutes of the day. So happy I have a job that pays me to waste my time on digg.
