Comment on Happiness Beyond the Comfort Zone by hanna

Thanks for your comment and for the TED clip, Jonathan! I remember reading somewhere in a book about writing that you should never tell people your idea for a story or novel, because telling the idea relieves the pressure to write it. And I can definitely see how, if you get lots of good feeling simply from announcing a goal, you might lose some of your need to do it and become less likely to do it. Besides, who am I to argue with decades of research? And yet, for me at least sometimes telling people and talking about my goal — certainly sharing the goal with Reece — actually fuels my training. But just to be safe, next time I announce it I’ll say, “I’m training for this triathlon, it’s gonna be a lot of work between now and then, and please kick my a__ if I don’t do it.”

This guy says you’re better off NOT announcing your goals/aspirations to the world: http://www.ted.com/talks/derek_sivers_keep_your_goals_to_yourself.html

I wonder which is better… I like talking about swimming and putting races/events on the calendar to keep me motivated, but is it always better to keep it to yourself?

Thanks for your comment …. which I can’t help but notice is my reward for checking email this morning! My husband and I have plotted to have no-tech Sundays … I’ll let you know how that goes.

Comment on What’s Behind the Compulsion to Check Email by pagemckinstry

I, too, have the urge to frequently check my email. When I first had my new Blackberry for work I was obsessive about it – and often was kept awake at night worrying how to deal with what my boss had asked into the night. Finally, I decided to check it once when I got home from work, then to plug it in for charging. Once the beast was plugged in to recharge, I figured I could unplug from it. It works for me most of the time.

However, that is for my work Blackberry…still haven’t figured out how to stop feeling the need to check my hotmail account – and now my FB account too – though I have often plotted with myself to give up the computer for the weekend or something equally as dreadful. Thus, I’m no help on that end.

Love your blog – and check at least once a week to see what new tidbits you’re posting. We’re here! Keep sharing!
