Very interesting. I like the title "Relaxed Productivity", but it's not with the library yet.

You can do things quicker than you think. This law says that a task will expand in time and seeming complexity depending on the time you set aside for it
focus your time on finding solutions
be proactive, to simply be the one to take the first practical action and get the ball rollin
Your attitude changes your reality
But the thing that I’ve discovered the last few years is that if you change your attitude, you actually change your reality
Don’t compare yourself to others.
80-90% of what you fear will happen never really come into reality

All good, should go over them, see which ones to use in life, but taught in school these would have been dismissed by everyone. Not taken seriously.

The Pareto Principle
This law says that a task will expand in time and seeming complexity depending on the time you set aside for it
You can do things quicker than you think
A batch of things to do in an hour today may look like this: Clean your desk / answer today’s emails / do the dishes / make three calls / write a grocery shopping list for tomorrow
Be proactive. Not reactive.
And success in life often comes from not giving up despite mistakes and failure. It comes from being persistent.
Assume rapport.
So you really need to focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want
When you change your attitude you change what you focus on
Don’t compare yourself to others.
80-90% of what you fear will happen never really come into reality

Great tips for students. Useful for writing (reaction, add one she left off, etc.) Each item developed in short paragraphs & sections.

I am 28 now. I don’t think about the past or regret things much these days.
But sometimes I wish that I had known some of things I have learned over the last few years a bit earlier. That perhaps there had been a self-improvement class in school. And in

self-help

80 percent of the value you will receive will come from 20 percent of your activities.
There is often an idea that someone should give us something or do something for us before we give back. The problem is just that a lot of people think that way.
A more useful and beneficial way is to be proactive, to simply be the one to take the first practical action and get the ball rolling. This not only saves you a lot of waiting, but is also more pleasurable since you feel like you have the power over your life.
The best way to do this that I have found so far is to assume rapport.
simply pretend that you are meeting one of your best friends.
So you really need to focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want. And keep that focus steady.
Setting goals and reviewing them frequently is one way to keep your focus on what’s important
Another way is just to use external reminders such as pieces of paper
And then you can put those pieces of paper on your fridge, bathroom mirror etc.
if you change your attitude, you actually change your reality.
When you change you attitude you change what you focus on. And all things in your world can now be seen in a different light.
But if someone had said that feeling grateful about things for minute or two is a great way to turn a negative mood into a happy one
a good tool for keeping your attitude up and focusing on the right things.
useful way is to compare yourself to yourself.
Most things you fear will happen never happen.
And if they happen then they will most often not be as painful or bad as you expected. Worrying is most often just a waste of time.
most of the things you worry about never come into reality.
Write everything down.
This is also a good way to keep your focus on what you want.
In pretty much any experience there are always things that you can learn from it and things within the experience that can help you to grow.
Whenever you have a “negative experience” ask yourself: where is the opportunity in this? What is good about this situation? One negative experience can – with time – help you create many very positive experiences.
