I know, I know, it is April now. Maybe it is too late.
My year started by receiving a nice text message that announced: "Happy new year. I know this year will be a fantastic one for us."
Well, predicting future it is not an easy job. :) Since that text message up to now everything has changed. When saying "everything" I really mean everything. Only the job remained the same.
Therefore, I decided to make some resolutions in order to focus in which direction I am going.
Here we are:
1) Decluttering my life in every aspect. In the near future I'll write a post about that. In the meantime, have a look at my desk so you can barely understand how much clutter is there in my life. :)
2) Stop complaining Even if things are not going well I have to answer to questions like "How are you?" with "FINE!"
3) Stop wasting time with stupid activities like watching Italian television
4) Stop watching movies in bed
5) Starting a daily routine
6) Sop buying new books until I haven't finished all the books which are waiting to be read. I think I cannot accomplish this one :)
7) Stop chasing people.
8) Stop thinking at all :) I've already posted something about that.
9) Start to do some fitness.
10) Start learning more systematically German and English
For the time being I am on a winning streak. I hope it lasts for at least one year.

Usually, what we most fear doing is what we most need to do: a
particular phone call, a meeting or whatever the action might be.
Like Timoty Ferris says: this is the fear of the unknown.
Often, I postpone some activities by saying: "I don't feel like it" ("non ho voglia" in Italian)
Yet, doing so doesn't help at all; if anything, it creates a lot of "open mind thoughts" - that's how I call it.
Therefore, I have recently adopted a new "technique": I make a list of all the things I recognize I'm putting off. Then, I define which item/s is/are the worst for me and I accomplish it/them immediately.
The stuff I love to do I put aside which I however accomplish when I'm tired.
The only small problem is to force myself to follow this new rule. :)
I'm lazy, you know.
