Default Anyone gone back and read all of Steve's prior Post?

I was wondering if relative new readers (8 months or less) have gone back back to read all of Steve's prior posts? Several weeks ago I started going back and reading a lot of the older posts and I'm finding a lot of interesting, very beneficial information.

I'm just curious if anyone else is doing it, and if so, how do you do it? I search by topics and then saving the files to my hard drive in different folders based on subjects so I can peruse the same subjects at the same time..as I find the search engine lacking, and the tag aren't really that helpful.

I too went back to the beginning and started reading up from there. I usually find something really helpful in most posts...even if it's just one particular sentence that sticks out.

I haven't read them all yet. Some days I'll read a few, some days none. I am not sure where I left off last because I do sometimes read newer posts, but then I always go back down to the bottom of the list and pick up where I last remember leaving off. Usually the title will jog my memory as to whether I've already read it. It's wierd (or not) how I always seem to click on just what I need to hear that day.

Good thread seeker5...

Personally I very rarely read extensively on PD anymore... as soon as I find something that could help me... I stop right there and try to implement it...

The reason that I do it this way is that I firmly believe that it's not what you know that counts... but what you do with what you know...

We must take a concept... fully assimilate it... and implement it until it becomes a personal character trait... that is how we expand and grow...

I started reading the polyphasic sleep posts first. As I went through those, I found links to other interesting stuff. It didn't take long to decide to start reading through the archives from the beginning, which took me about a year. (I'd go a few weeks at a time without reading anything, though.)

A week ago, I started the process of reading one by one each of Steve's post from the beginning in the chronological order of their posting. I've now gone through the first 35 posts, there were a lot of interesting ideas and concepts already!

One of the thing that surprised me is how many of those first 35 articles were article I had already read and started applying in my life. I had spent some time in the last few months doing research by keywords and had been greatly influenced by those early articles without even knowing they were some of his very earliest articles.

I will keep on reading his posts chronologically. I would have preferred his posts be organized into categories in which a post would only fit in one category to avoid duplicate/triple/quadruple locations for the same post. However reading it in a chronological manner still has produced some good benefits so far.

There many great articles to read that provide real implementable ideas. I suggest you go to the search box and put in a subject of Personal Development that you currently want to learn more about or get better in.
