"Life is good, but why stop there? Maximize your energy reserves by creating a consistent power position in life (face the door in all positions: while you cook, work or sit up in bed), and you will see even better days. Keep up the clutter clearing, and make every room in your home a place...

Interesting question. I find that the more active I am, the more energy I have, and thus - an increased ability to focus and get things done. I also sleep better when I am active (part of the reason I started working out every day). The better I sleep, the better I am able to focus...

Oh, I am sooo with you on this! How can anyone abuse a book in such a way? Books provide too much pleasure for me to destroy them!
