That’s pretty good! I’ve read a lot of professional development stuff about how to be more productive as an academic writer, so a lot of those ideals are in there, but this presentation is pretty good.

Some of these come more easily than others, it’s always good to get a refresher.

Most of my family is gone. I no longer have family to tell me how to improve myself.
Have reached the bliss of the take it or leave attitude.

"...The Secret (2006), which itself was a rewrite of The Science of Getting Rich (1910), which was based on the 19th century's "mind over body" movement."

I had a friend who insisted on sending me a box full of, "The Secret" books.

He had no idea it wasn't an original idea. He believed in it the way I imagine a person believes in a cult.

He was prosytizing. I couldn't pick up his books. He sent a box to my father.

I lived in Hawaii so this made no sense.

Oh, well.

Yes. Most of them can be boiled down to a 2-pager, maybe 1.

To summarize, find out what works for you and then do it.
