I thought the affirmations (mind aggrements, but along with teh quotations) as one of the most inspiring self-customized lists you can make.

and Success insight factors

Here's my, for example, sub-category of "mind agreements" to ensure I stay productive at the computer. Having these "checlists" for contexts is invaluable. Some of the "research' topics below for web browsing below should go in "ideas" or "project" "optimize browser surfing", but the ones like "reboot before work" and "2-4 max programs" are invalauble context-based productivity essentials. Before making these mind aggreements, a great title if I do say so myself, I worked work with on average 15-20 applications opened SIMULTANEOUSLY! I felt "pseudo-productive" because so much was going on simultaneously, but at the end of the day you don't get much done, and your brain gets overloaded. you generate highest performativity of productivity with a few simple programs open simultaneously. If you want really stimulate your brain you can still do that with aggressive surfing and information learning on a web browser and podcast listening simultaneously. You don't need a million programs open. You should have something like this personal checklist for all your contexts, customized to how you want to and need to do your actions. It really helps structure your time so you get things done. Personally, I think this is the hard work. GTD provides a very top-level system that works fairly consistently, but then how you actually do stuff in each context is alway unique and specific to each person so these "mind aggreements" for stuff is personally enlightening.

Computer
1.A_Recreation. Watch FacebookMyspaceVIDS/Youtube/Funnyordie at Night for Recreation
2.Media. LISTEN to those Motivational Recordings (TR, Chris howard VYL) on a regular basis, ESPECIALLY while doing any computer work.
3.Media. Read Yahoo Entertainment News!!Memories. Focus on Memories.* (All journals, travel journals, PHOTOS) That's where the gold is and treasures lay!. Review friends' facebook goals and ideas, which will make you aware of the joys they are having (surfing, HI, making money, having a job) and enrich and validate your own life, too.
4.Productivity. Turn “ON” safety porn nudity filter when doing web work so boobs don't pop up “distracting you”.
5.Productivity. Always reboot. ESSENTIAL for feeling in control during computer work. Reboot at the beginning of each work session. ESSENTIAL!! This clears your mind, ensures you don't have lingering loose ends and creates the effect of “going on a vacation” because you have to close-up-shop as best as you can before each reboot. Starting with a clean dekstop with only Finder open at the beginning of your work period is so invaluable. NOT doing that is like trying to drive with debris in the road. Clear your “electroinc road” and reboot or at the very least close all programs and start with just a naked finder at the beginning of each work period. This will cause you to record “todos” in ideas or if they're positive with zero doubt attached to them, in tasks, instead of “racing against your mind” to get things done as you think of them, which is being controlled by your brain instead of you controlling it!
6.Productivity. 2-4 max programs. ESSENTIAL for feeling in control during computer work. Have Finder + 2-4 programs at any given time. MAX! Any more than that and you're working on too many projects simultaneously. Even with something as complex as web design you only need 3 programs open max. and if you're trying to do web design, write a journal, check email, and read rss feeds with all those programs open, you're going to have a massive headache and most importantly not be productivity. Your clarity will increase exponentionally keeping 2-4 programs (plus Finder) max because you want be dabbling on one task or project and then jumping to something else. 2-4 max programs just promotes stronger and more electrifying thinking and action-doing as well.
7.Productivity While web-surfing. Have an agenda. Do emails in Mac Mail. If you need to check credit reports do that from Devon Think. If you're doing fun research searching, do that from devon think because you'll want to take notes. What about yahoo answers? What do you use your webbrowser for?
