Living by Design Blog Carnival No. 22

Welcome to the 29th February 2008 edition of Living by Design's personal development blog carnival, featured here are my favourite posts from the many submissions I received over the last fortnight...

Kenton Newby presents Focusing on Leverage posted at KentonNewby.com.

Excerpt: Instead of worrying so much about being "given" a promotion, most people would be better off if they used their natural skills and talents to go out and "generate" additional income (or, horror of horrors, develop new skills that allows them to do so)... 

FruitfulTime presents The Effects of Lost Sleep posted at FruitfulTime Blog.

Exceprt: Losing sleep makes you feel stressed. Due to lack of sleeping, you will lose your patience. Such stress will affect your life and the lives of the people who live with you like your husband/wife, children and colleagues. Stress is a major health hazard and has a significant list of bad side effects, such as heart problems, and obesity through nervous over eating.

Todd Goldfarb presents 4 Pillars of Effective Personal Growth posted at We The Change, saying, "4 excellent "pillars" of personal growth from we the change...enjoy!"

GreatManagement presents Get Rid Of Procrastination Once And For All posted at The GreatManagement Blog, saying, "Everyone suffers from procrastination at some stage in their lives."

Tyler Fowler presents Growing Your Comfort Zone posted at Fowler Musings, saying, "Regarding our Comfort Zones and the expanding of them, all for the sake of being able to do things we were too afraid to try."

Dr. Mike Skinner presents Flow posted at meditation for the masses, saying, "How you can achieve your goals through flow"

Debra Moorhead presents Decision-Making Based On Your Values posted at Debra Moorhead.com. clip: "it’s important to be truly honest with yourself, about which activities you want to keep, eliminate, and possibly add.  I find that most of us just need more down time – time to relax, meditate, pray, read, and just be.  Once you make your decision, enjoy it; don’t get caught up in everyone else’s complaining habits..."

Shawn Driscoll presents Top 5 Reasons We Don't Know What We Want posted at Shawn Driscoll. Clip: What do you want? If this question leaves you stumped, you’re not alone. This simple question triggers more ‘deer in the headlights’ stares than almost anything I ask.

Mark Fleming presents Respect Your Decisions posted at improvefast.net.
