From the Web

I’ve written several articles for lifehack.org [1] over the past week:

10 Tips for Razor Sharp Concentration [2] – This one did very well, garnering a fair chunk of traffic from Digg.

Why Your Free Time is Boring [3]

Insomniac’s Guide of Things to Do When Failing to Sleep [4]

Study Hacks [5] – Cal Newport, a friend and author of How to Become a Straight-A Student now has his articles in a blog format. Worth a look if you were a fan of Holistic Learning and other approaches to better learning.

From the Archives

Waiting for an Epiphany [6] – Quit waiting for a lightbulb to go off over your head. I’ve found that most changes occur through a several steps, not one huge, life-altering moment.

From the Shelf
