I write this article was inspired by a blog which I once read: How a password changed my life
This blog tells a story about how a little trick, use the password as an indicator, changed the author's life. The author combined his to-do lists with passwords, and then, the password would remind him his goal at times he typing it. By this little trick, the author regain control of his life from divorce, stop smoking, save money for thailand trip, and so on.
The author just want to tell us the truth: one little trick can change your life!
I was attracted to this story and tried the method in it. Wonderful! And so, this is the first little thing I want to write.
The second little thing is one of my life experience: Use a book as your wallet.
You can access that page: book to see how many books I have read and how many books I want to read. Everyone want to read a lot. But this is difficult to achieve because that we do not have chunks of time to read. Always once we read a large section of the book, and then, we do not know when will be reading it again.
So what I do? I use the book as my wallet. When I need to bring a wallet, I took a book instead. Every day, go for lunch, go by bus, go to the party, I will take a book. And when I wait for the meal, wait for the bus, rest at the party, I can read my book.
I think I just realized one thing: Shou Bu Shi Juan, (one chinese idiom describing a person's behavior that always with a book in hand everywhere)
The third little thing I want to write is Using reading process as your calendar
This is derived from my collaboration reading with one pretty friend nowadays. We read the same book, which in english, toghter to exchange of thotghus, opinions, and feelings and improve our english. We read five pages of the book every day, slowy and persist.
I always forget to read just like I always forget the date. And guess what happened. I find that I can use the page number which I was just reading to count the date! Perfect! And then I can rember the date and adhere to read everyday.
There is just three little tricks I have found in my life. They just help me in some aspects. Maybe they can help you too, I think. Be relaxed and just have a try.
