I found this good-condition little hardcover at a local Savers thrift shop, and nabbed it for a current release challenge. And for some motivation! I'm very fond of reading self-help books, but seldom find myself moved to get up and work on my personal goals; still, I keep trying. And this one actually resonated with me, its simple tips and explanations more helpful to my own mindset than many other such books. (The advice isn't all that different, really - it's the way it's presented that struck a chord with me.)

The key element of this book is to pay attention to what you're doing. So many bad habits get built because we don't stop to think about whether we really want to leave the TV on or keep munching from that bag of chips - and while there is always the risk that when I ask myself if I'd rather accomplish some overdue tasks or sit here petting the cat and surfing the web, the honest answer will be "petting the cat and surfing the web" {wry grin}, at least I can try to be more mindful about the whole cat-petting, web-surfing, procrastinating aspect of my life. And perhaps the better question - also posed in the book - is "what will I have wanted to have done this afternoon" rather than "what do I want to do right now". Remains to be seen if I can use these ideas to kickstart better habits re exercise, decluttering, and addressing those overdue but important home-and-financial tasks...
