Great article, Steve.
My favourite must be 21 & 28, I think so. Even I'm an avid perfectionist.
I don't believe in the idea of a "quick fix" or instant gratification, but I have to say I was intrigued
when I ran across an article about "7 Ways to Make Yourself Happier in the Next Hour."
The author spent a year testing out the various theories of current scientific studies on happiness, and came up with seven points.
The idea is to try to do as many of them as you can in an hour.
Boost your energy by getting up and moving around. Taking a brisk ten-minute walk is best, because when you are moving faster, your metabolism speeds up and the activity is good for your focus and mood and helps you retain information.
Get an old task out of the way. If you've been procrastinating about a chore, tackle it now. Like making that doctor or dental appointment, or arranging to get broken equipment fixed. You'll feel a sense of relief and a burst of energy.
Create a calmer environment. This gives a sense of serenity as well.
Give it a try!
