I don’t think I’ve ever studied for a single test in my entire life. There are rare times that I answer each question right, but I still do great…anywhere between 90%-100%. I’m not especially gifted…I just take the class seriously and listen in class. I’ll take notes, but I don’t review them. I’m not bragging…and there are a lot of people out there that have far better memorization skills – like the guy who can memorize any credit card number by hearing it once, or that savant who can “feel” numbers. You just have to change the way you learn.

“Doing less” is a great message for anybody who wants to rationalize being lazy…but the good kind of lazy. The efficient kind of laziness where you get everything done without trying very hard.

Usually when I go to the gym, I’ll head into the pool area to go into the steam room and whirlpool…possibly the sauna. The steam room clears up any allergies I have and helps me breathe better and the whirlpool helps with any muscle pains I have from going to Aikido three times a week and working out on off days. I’m not really sure why I go into the sauna afterwards because by the time I get in there, I’m burning hot and can only stand being in there for a few minutes…not enough time to work up a good sweat. I’m sure it’s good for the skin, but I sweat doing other crap anyway.
