7 Critical Distinctions Between A Producer And A Procrastinator - by Zamri Nanyan.

7 Critical Distinctions Between A Producer And A Procrastinator - by Zamri Nanyan.: "Oftentimes, we fall into both a producer and a procrastinator category in our lives. What we need to know is that being a procrastinator is not something good and once we realize the state we're in, we have to stand back up and become a producer again. That will make sure that the results we're getting are aligned with the vision we're creating.

I had a chance to listen to a one-hour teleseminar by Johnny Wimbrey recently and managed to jot down a few points for the readers to benefit. The topic matched nicely with the points that we're discussing here.

What are the 7 critical distinctions between a producer and a procrastinator?

Here are a few points Johnny Wimbrey talked about.

Fishing...No Place For Unnecessary Thinking! - by Bob Alexander

Fishing...No Place For Unnecessary Thinking! - by Bob Alexander: "There's no place for unnecessary thinking when you're fishing in the surf on one of the most beautiful beaches in America. I was walking the beach on a beautiful sunny morning at the end of spring, sighing with contentment as I looked out over the Gulf of Mexico. After the serenity of an early morning tide had lessened somewhat and the few early morning beach walkers had drifted by, it was time to throw my bait into the water. I was about to have a ball catching Pompano on the beach at St. George, Island, Florida.

I had gotten up at 6:00 AM to get a head start on the fish. I try to think like a fish sometimes, nothing elaborate, just your basic survival thinking. When the sun comes up in the morning, I'm hungry. I suspect fish feel the same way, so thinking like a fish, I try to give them what they like to eat for breakfast. I know that a shrimp to a fish is like bacon and eggs to people. With this knowledge I loaded up on live shrimp at one of the three bait shops close to where I was staying.

This was the first day of my vacation on this island and I was determined not to think at all. My brain was on vacation too on this small barrier island on Apalachicola Bay. It boasts that this is the way Florida used to be. If that means there are no huge"

Savvy Way for Seniors to Manage Their Real Estate Equity - by Christian Mirner

Savvy Way for Seniors to Manage Their Real Estate Equity - by Christian Mirner: "Few would deny that real estate is a solid investment. Nationally, there hasn't been a decline in home values since the end of World War II, according to the National Association of Realtors in a report the one-million-member trade organization released in March of last year. These widespread equity gains in residential real estate, as well as monies from other sources, have led many to invest beyond their primary residence and into income-producing properties such as rental housing, apartment buildings, or small office or retail centers. Over the years, many of these investment properties have built up substantial equity.

However, many seniors now find themselves in a quandary. They have become equity rich, but are cash poor-- with increases in the value of their property far outpacing income growth. Plus, they have grown tired of the day-to-day property management headaches such as toilets, tenants and trash, and want to simplify their lifestyle and enjoy golf, grandkids and gardening.

Of course they could always sell the property and unleash that accumulated equity, but this can have disastrous tax consequences. Moreover, even if they decided to sell and take the tax hit, where do they re-invest? After all, the Dow Jones is still 1,000 points below its high water mark r"

Hints and Requirements to Make The Optimum Compost - by james ellison

Hints and Requirements to Make The Optimum Compost - by james ellison: "Compost is the center of gardening. In order to have anything grow properly you need to feed the soil not the plant. Most of the food that a plant takes in is from the roots. The leaves take in food but not on the scale that the roots do. By placing a layer of compost on the ground each year either on the lawn or in the garden you have provided the nutrients that mother nature had intended to have done. Following are hints to make that compost better and the requirements needed to decompose that pile of material to become compost.

Hints to help your compost pile

Begin with compost bins 3 to 4 feet across. This size is perfect as it permits for rapid internal heating of the compost pile, which forces the decomposing process. Smaller bins will be hard to heat and can't keep processing temperatures through normal winters. Bigger bins may limit air filtration into the pile, retarding decomposition.

A Safer Way To Get Arthritic Pain Relief - by Richard Tolar

A Safer Way To Get Arthritic Pain Relief - by Richard Tolar: "Pain relief from 'Over The Counter' or prescribed drugs, while providing a degree of pain relief, can work against you in the form of dangerous side-effects. Natural, or herbal, medications will not create dangerous side-effects when properly used.

All forms of arthritis involve some degree of pain. Patterns of pain differ among the different forms and parts of the body that suffer from one form of arthritis or another.

Five of the most common forms of arthritis are:

1... Osteoarthritis
2... Rheumatoid arthritis
3... Septic arthritis
4... Gout and pseudo gout
5... Juvenile arthritis"

How to Say I Love You - by Michael Hehn

How to Say I Love You - by Michael Hehn: "Remember the words from an old song...

'Be sure it's true when you say I love you, it's a sin to tell a lie'.

The concept of 'sin' has lost its meaning for most in our modern era, and even 'love' has lost its importance.

If you still believe in 'falling in love' then you will realize how difficult it is to say, 'I love you' in a meaningful way. Three little words that could change your life forever. The words, themselves, have lost their meaning because of overuse especially when it's not really true. Everybody says them.

However, when you want tell your partner of your love it's such a hard decision to make for many reasons. Will your partner return your love? Will your partner simply accept your declaration with indifference? Will he or she feel threatened? It is such a common problem that even 'The Seinfeld Show' had an episode on it.

So make it easy on yourself and plan the declaration so that as much as possible you eliminate the problems. The first step, of course, is to be certain you really are in love. If you so enjoy being with your partner that you want to be with him or her to the exclusion of all others, if you think of him or her every day when you are apart, you are probably in love. If you have even a small doubt you should wait a lit"
