Stress : Do It All At Once

If you ever feel like your brain is cluttered because you have so many little tasks to do and you don't know what to do next, try this simple technique.



First, make a list of every single little thing that you need to do. Be sure that this list is complete and only contains the little things. Big projects should be left off the list. Now, start at the top of your list and complete each task one by one in a continuous unbroken stream of focused energy. By fusing all these small things into one single chunk of time you can quickly get everything done and out of your mind. This will allow you to focus your full attention on a bigger task, or to have a relaxing weekend knowing that all your chores are out of the way.

Memory : Organization

People are much better at remembering meaningful facts than random facts. This is because the mind takes advantage of all the pre-existing synapses that are already built up in the brain. If you are ever required to memorize facts for a test or meeting, you can improve your ability to remember the facts by organizing the data.



You could organize the material by category, alphabetically, chronologically, or by any other method that will help you group facts and give them some extra meaning. If you can, try to organize the material in several different ways. This will give your mind extra ways to retrieve the facts at a later time. For example, if you learn the names of the presidents of the United States in alphabetical and chronological order, you will have a much better chance at remembering them than if you learned them without any organization whatsoever.

Vocabulary : Word of the Day : Perfidy

per-fi-dy



noun :: The quality or state of being faithless or disloyal. Treachery.



"The court-martial proved the perfidy of the traitor and sentenced him to prison."

There's a town in Austria named f*cking. The mayor has to go to these extreme measures to protect signage!

There's a town in Austria named f*cking. The mayor has to go to these extreme measures to protect signage!

The Austrian town of Fucking has erected theft-proof road signs embedded in concrete blocks.’

Officials acted because they were fed up with English-speaking tourists stealing them as souvenirs.

After the last ‘Welcome to Fucking’ sign was stolen, Mayor Siegfried Hauppl ordered brand new theft-proof road signs.

They are bolted and welded to steel posts embedded in concrete in the ground and the mayor added: “It would take all night to steal one.”

Fucking always attracts a lot of attention in the summer months, with tourists driving up from nearby Salzburg to pose for pictures in front of the Fucking signs.

But Mayor Hauppl said that while the money tourists spent in the area was welcome, locals were fed up with having to replace the signs.
