Coffee, in particular, gets singled out for attention, over and over again.

The standard suggestions may not be so useful for you....

Here’s the deal, though: it’s easy to add exercise to your day. You take the steps instead of the elevator. You walk to the corner store instead of driving. It may be hard to motivate yourself. In principle, though, exercise is as simple as moving around a little extra every day. Eating right is much harder. Sure, you can opt for the salad — but the calories you get from the salad dressing can pretty much negate any vitamins you get from the vegetables....

You’re applauded if you lack sleep. Working overtime means you’re committed to your job. And not taking holidays is seen as being productive. You come home tired and chores are waiting for you. Before you go to sleep there are emails to be answered. On the first crack of dawn, you’re rushing out the door to avoid traffic during commute. It’s not surprising that many of us look AND feel exhausted all the time....

Radical Honesty requires that you speak your truth even when you feel sure that the other person won’t want to hear it. Radical Honesty means that you have to say how you really feel, especially when you believe that you could either avoid x or conversely make y happen by hiding these feelings from them. It is a commitment to authenticity that requires being true to yourself as much as being loyal to another....

Quit! Close the book if it bores you unless you need to finish it for a job or a class lesson. Put books away that you do not enjoy.

It is common to dedicate time to finishing a book you invested in or lifted from a shelf....
