Nathaniel Sloan's List: Self Improvement

• Specific: Do you know exactly what you want to accomplish with all the details?
   
   Measurable: Are you able to assess your progress?
   
   Attainable: Is your goal within your reach given your current situation?
   
   Relevant: Is your goal relevant towards your purpose in life?
   
   Time-Sensitive: What is the deadline for completing your goal?

• Do not press the nib (tip) of your pen hard on the paper during writing.
• Do not grip the pen too hard. Hold the pen gently.
• Keep on writing "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" in small and capital letters. This sentence contains all letters in the (English) alphabet, and writing it is certainly more fun that going AaBbCc, etc.
• If you still do not improve, use graph paper.
