Optimizing your Mind

"Inner Peace" by YIM Hafiz

Do you want to make your mind a well-oiled machine?  Do you want to reach inner peace?  I can help you do both at the same time.  Having achieved inner peace a few years ago, I can tell you that it is wonderful.  What is inner peace?  What I experience is a sensation of present.  What this means is that you stop worrying about the future and the past and experience life as it comes, filing everything where it needs to go on the fly.  This freedom allows you to experience emotions (like happiness, pain, stress, love, etc.) without the emotions defining you at that moment. When we are distanced from inner peace, we are defined by our emotions, but when we stay at inner peace, we allow the emotions to wash over us as they are part of everyday life, for better or for worse. The following tips will allow you to optimize your mind, allow you to reach inner peace very fast, and allow you to reach your full mental potential.Continue Reading

Your workspace is, ideally, an extension of your mind. We must remember the Einstein quote, “If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?” At the same time, Thomas Leonard said, “Clarity affords focus.” How do we reconcile these two into an optimized middle ground?

When it comes to getting things done, most people have a duality of opinion, either you focus on one thing or multitask.  There are pros and cons to both like focus (higher focus in the single task) and speed (higher speed in multiple tasks -kinda).  Interestingly enough, I disagree that these are the only two [...]

Why Firefox Stinks, It’s Adobe’s Fault

flash

I am loving Mozilla Firefox, but there’s just one thing I can’t get over…Flash. If it wasn’t for Flash, I would say that most users would use Firefox, but noooo…Flash is making Firefox stink because the Flash plugin for Firefox uses SOOOO much memory. Read my open letter to Adobe about the future of Flash.

Twitter

Twitter

Twitter stinks when it is crowded with junk.  I have recently hit 4000+ followers and I was following most of them, until recently.  I decided that I wanted a pleasant experience from Twitter, so I cleaned my following list. I am currently following ~40 people because I want to follow them, not because of some [...]
