Corporate Barbarian Links: Sports Physical Edition
Posted by enrique s in Blogging, Frugality, Leadership, Links, Motivation, lifehack on August 22nd, 2009
My son had his sports physical this week. Two doctors had to accommodate hundreds of high school athletes. Needless to say, the wait was a long one. I waited in the car, and a baseball game on the car radio would have passed the time, but the Yankees were playing a late game in Oakland. I’m glad that I brought a book. Hemingway was good company. I love his short stories:
Here are some great posts from the last week:
Steve at Brip Blap relates a story about packs of wild dogs in Bucharest, and how he overcame his fear of them. He eventually made them fear him. It’s a great example of facing and overcoming your fears.
Katie at Frugal Urbanite thinks the PF blog sphere has become boring. She thinks that personal finance bloggers are afraid to be a little different. I’ll take her advice, and try to keep things interesting. That’s why I also blog about coffee addiction, survival kits, and my crazy neighbor.
Craig Harper has a great post about changing your personal reality at Stepcase Lifehack. He shares eight strategies that may not be comfortable to implement, but are effective in helping you take control of your life.
Jared at Technotheory wants us to stop waiting for others and forge ahead. He says it becomes clear who gets things done, and who is suited for government work.
Five Cent Nickel warns about taking frugality too far. Don’t cross that line where you start making yourself and others miserable by taking foolish risks.
Brad at Persistence Unlimited wants us to BF Skinnerize our commitments to get through the rough patches. He talks about using rewards as well as punishments to keep ourselves on track.
David at My Two Dollars reveals the man who’s still driving a 1929 Ford Model A. He’s a throwback in our throw-away society.
Jason at Dumb Little Man offers 8 great ways to motivate yourself when you just don’t feel like it. Everyone hits a lull, and one of these might be the tonic to snap you out of complacency.
Have a great weekend!
