I’ve often found that most unresourceful states are accompanied by a narrowing of the field of vision into one area — not a metaphorical vision, but the actual sense of seeing — usually downwards to [...]
Some people have the misconception that only a select few are able to unleash a steady flow of creative thinking. That is not true at all. The fact is, intuitive creativity is very much like a muscle that needs to be exercised in order to consistently give out great results. If you don’t practice harnessing [...]
Time lines are particularly useful to Life Hackers. Since productivity is all about planning the future, putting finished things into the past, and figuring out what to do with the present, it is extremely important to understand how your mind codes time.

There is a common misconception that “things” can be boring. You may find doing your taxes boring. But some people find it riveting. Therefore, we can’t say that doing taxes is boring. “It” is not boring. Then what part of that sentence or thought is boring? It is the person doing the thinking that is [...]

Is it possible to restructure, unlearn or change old beliefs that may be limiting us and imprint new ones that can expand our potential beyond what we currently imagine? If so, how do we do it? And what exactly is a belief?
The dictionary defines a belief as “an idea or judgment held as true or [...]
Dr. Kurt Fischer (Harvard Graduate School of Education) explains in his dynamic skill theory that we all develop through stages of development while learning new skills. These stages also mimic the developmental levels we go through from infant to adolescent to adult. They are: (1) Actions (or Sensorimotor), (2) Representations (or Concrete Operations), and (3) [...]

First of all, hypnotic language, I believe, has lost much of its power due to saturation in marketing and media. While many of the principles still apply, the actual language needs to evolve. The best case I have heard in support of this comes from Ari Galper. He understands this very well and has fresh [...]
