Unwork - Just What Is It and How Can You Get Some?

Friday, February 29th, 2008

By Andrea Lee With apologies to Byron Katie’s important ‘Work,’ I’ve been using the phrase Unwork quite a bit lately to help foster the premise that working hard is NOT the way to riches or happiness. For some people working hard is a license to feel justified about complaining. Or feeling self-important. For others it’s a way to pull the wool over their eyes about the fact they aren’t succeeding - they’re doing everything they can, aren’t they? Exhaustion is the proof of this statement. It can’t be their fault because they’re trying so very hard. Still others are subconsciously using hard work as a way to avoid something. Could it be fear of success? or almost any other fear/feeling? I’ve been exposed to enough variations on the theme of hard work that I feel I can say with confidence: The message “Work hard and you’ll be rewarded” is MOST useful to people in authority (teachers, parents, church leaders, politicians, etc.) Tired people (adults and children) are less likely to act up. What I know for sure is that it takes a certain amount of guts to think about Unworking. Hard work is a potent anesthetic that like any addiction numbs us to life. Time to wake up. Let me be clear that Unwork isn’t about being lazy. And it isn’t some fancy way of talking about delegation or time management either. I hate to say it’s a kind of ‘consciousness’ as that’s just too floofy for many people to care about, but it is in fact what it is. And…there are specifics that can help you start ‘doing’ unwork in a concrete way so this isn’t all just ethereal stuff. Register for the no-fee Open House TeleSeminar on Unwork (post coming soon) if you’d prefer a more interactive version of this. But here are my notes in response to those of you who don’t want to wait. ;) Remember - Suzanne Falter-Barns is spearheading the call so I’m sure she’ll have much to contribute on her end too. Or, check out the radio show Pam Slim did with me on ‘Taking the Struggle out of building your business’ over at VoiceAmericaBusiness. You can download the program here. Now here are my notes on just what Unwork is and how you can start integrating some… (1) What does Unwork mean? The first step to understanding the concept of Unwork is noticing that for everything you do, there is a hard way and an easy way. Whether it’s picking a photograph at IstockPhoto to illustrate your blog post; putting together your new TV stand or making ends meet this month, there IS a hard way to reach your goal. Perhaps it’s the road you’re most used to taking. So the best way to help connect you with the concept of Unwork is to ask you to assume with me there IS an easier way to what you are doing. So pick a challenge you’re working on this week. Or a long-standing obstacle in your life. My assumption is going to be that there is an easier way. If you were to play along, what comes up? This is about practice because letting go of the habit of thinking life has to be hard isn’t going to be an overnight thing. So practice challenging yourself. Gradually your way of ‘being’ in your business will become less onerous. Just start with one thing. Go ahead, you can think of one thing that you’re annoyed at that feels terribly hard…what is it? Unwork = noun. Definition = a contrarian idea that for everything human beings seek to do or achieve in life there is a hard way and an easy way or unwork way. Especially applicable in entrepreneurial settings. (2) What might be a useful metaphor that conveys the sensibility of Unwork? Unwork can feel like a foreign concept the first time you hear it so I like to use metaphors to help us get intuitive about it. Here are two: Metaphor #1: If you were hanging a calendar on your wall, you wouldn’t go to the basement to get your power tool, right? Yet so many of us in our daily ‘to dos’ are doing just that - using a power tool to put in a tack. We might be spending way too much time to complete something…or doing a menial task at the time of day when our brains are most creative…whatever it is, there is an ineffective use of energy to accomplish the task in front of us…using a power tool on a tack when just your thumb would do the trick. How are you burning out a power tool doing something little in your business? Is it possible you’re giving a long lecture to your teenager when a small curfew reminder would do the trick? Metaphor #2: The Sun and the Wind fable, excerpted from the book ‘Money, Meaning & Beyond’ and previously posted here. Okay, I lied. There is another very colourful and slightly PG-13 metaphor that illustrates Unwork to a ‘T’. I think it’s the MOST effective metaphor there is for some people but I’m not going to post it here. I’m being a little coy here alright? Okay maybe a little chicken too. :-) So if you’d like me to post it I will, but encourage me a little would you? I’m not a prude (especially in 1-on-1 coaching sessions) but I’m still not sure how colourful to be here… (3) What are some recent examples of how you apply Unwork in your life? Example #1: After being self-employed nearly 10 years, I know there are two major activities that consistently generate income. For me, these are speaking and writing; they may be different for you. But speaking takes a proportionately HUGE amount of my time, effort, patience from husband and family, etc. in order to do. Not to mention health and other environmental costs. By contrast, writing takes up much fewer resources and - important - does almost as good a job generating business as speaking does. Unwork decision I made? Speak even less frequently than I do now, and make every speaking engagement really count. Net result: I have much more energy and time to spend writing. Ultimately this gives me better results (more money) for less work over the course of the year - exactly what was proven when I visited my accountant last week - gross income increased only 10-20% last year, but we had about the same amount of expenses and both partners worked about 40% less. That’s a great raise as a result of unwork. Example #2: Here’s a smaller example. When searching for a great photo to illustrate a blog post, I discovered a friend who was looking and looking on IstockPhoto. We all do the equivalent of something like this - go through all the bids on Elance for example, or researching an additional hour when you’ve already found a good link. What if you were to stop? Meaning, stop when you find the first useable photo? When you find a decent bid on Elance that meets all your criteria? We spend a lot of time looking for what could possibly might be a slightly better answer. But all the while we already have a serviceable solution. Does this apply to you? If you haven’t been able to think of a place to concretely apply Unwork, this should help. Make a list of things you work unnecessarily hard at now and practice letting your work go. Insert a food-related Andrea-ism here: Like trimming the fat off the steak before you barbeque, you can trim wasted energy off many of your daily tasks, if only you start thinking the Unwork Way. Remember…Hope is not a strategy. Neither is hard work. In conclusion…do you know the saying ‘work smart, not hard?’ I don’t know who said it originally but I have a huge dislike for it. Why? I just don’t think it’s a useful phrase when it comes to implementation. The phrase ‘work SMART’ has the exact opposite effect…in fact already-smart people are the ones who are most guilty of working too hard in their businesses. Their try to ’smart’ their way out of problems when simplicity would be better. Since smartness already gets them in trouble, more smart thinking isn’t going to make things better. So I say dare to be different. Embrace unwork instead by picking a few clear action steps that lesson what you do in order to get a result, today.

Six Steps to the Job You Love

Friday, February 29th, 2008

By Chris Henson Have you ever though it impossible to do what you love and get paid? I would enthusiastically tell you that it is indeed possible to find your labor of love and get paid for it! Through using the universal truths I learned from my research of those who had conquered great adversity and came out on top, I offer you the following formula: 6 Steps to the Job you Love 1. Believe it. You must believe that the job you seek is actuallypossible for you to attain. It is absolutely necessary for you to bebrutally honest with yourself. Belief is the concrete foundation fromwhich all of our ‘real-life’ actions are based. Belief is the critical,yet most forgotten, ingredient that is needed to bring that into ourlives which we most seek. Do you actually believe that; 1. you arecapable of getting the job-position-career that you seek? 2. that youwhole-heartedly deserve the job-position-career that you seek? If yourmind even hinted that the answer is no, then it is time to go on anarcheological dig, . . . in your mind. 2. Eliminate Career Inhibiting Beliefs. If you answered no to thequestion in the last paragraph, then that means you may be inpossession of one or more career inhibiting beliefs. What are those?A career inhibiting belief is a belief or conviction that you may havepicked up sometime in your life, through social heredity, that createsan artificial boundary on your capabilities. It is your individualresponsibility to dig and unearth these boat anchor convictions thatare holding you back. Begin by making a list of what you believe aboutyour talents and your ability to apply them. (There are more detailssurrounding this process in the Layoffshield book) Have you accepted anyconvictions, (that were given to you by others, perhaps a relative, orteacher), about your talents that limit you or your ability to achieve?Find them. Once and for all, recognize them for what they are; false. 3. Construct your own career beliefs that permit no boundaries. Whatwould you have to believe about yourself to get where you need to go?Once you have done a full mental inventory, and you have pulled out allof the useless, limiting convictions that your thoughts once hingedupon, it is time to replace those things with convictions that youarchitect yourself. Again, I would ask, what would you have to believeabout yourself to get where you need to go? Using the principles ofself-suggestion, repetition, enthusiasm you can effective plant thesenew convictions in your mind. Identify your learning style and habitizeyour new career beliefs into your mind! There are more detailson how to use this process in the LayoffShield book. 4. Visualize yourself already there. Your mind will attract that whichit dwells on. This is the basic ‘law of thought’ that countless peoplehave utilized to build themselves into successful careers. Direct yourenergy and intelligence onto imagining the exact and ideal employmentsituation that you seek. Concentrate daily on your ideal employment, infact, make it a ritual. Everyday, use your imagination and to seeyourself in possession of the exact job and salary you wish to have.Using your mind this way and visualizing the circumstances you desireis powerful! It is powerful because you are commanding your brain to draw upon infiniteresources to give you that which you want. Lack of commanding yourthoughts occupy the brain with worry and useless facts, so you have nothing to loose!Direct thought action of continually focusing on what you want unlocks the inherent creative powers of the human mind that send you practical ideas that act as the ’stair-steps’you will take toward your ideal job. 5. Create the opportunity. So many people alibi themselves out ofsuccess through these words: “I never got the opportunity.” Empoweryourself by completely placing the success or failure of your career inyour own hands. Create opportunities by applying the lesson that wastaught in the recent movie, ‘Robots’, and that is .. “See a need, filla need.” Engage your initiative and act. Dig into your imagination tofind ways of getting what you want through concentrating on the problemwith a positive focus. If there is no door leading to where you need togo, make one. 6. Never stop. We learn more from our ‘failures’ than we do from oursuccesses. We can then therefore, use that knowledge to make anotherattempt, changing the variables slightly. And if we still don’tsuccess, we make another attempt, again changing the variables. Persistuntil you get the results you want! Never stop! Persistence is the physical counterpart ofyour motive. (You’ve gotta want it real bad) And, of course persistenceis a personality trait that may be attained through practice. Practicethen builds into habit. The habit of persistence then becomes theunstoppable juggernaut that will not allow anyone or anything tostand in the way of you and your dreams. Go now and do not stop! –END– This work is Copyright of LayoffShield, Inc and has been placed on this site with permission.

Two Burn Fat Build Muscle Tips

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

By Paul Foley To burn fat and build muscle correctly you have to combine many different things. Getting the results you are looking for is not as easy as making a few different lifestyle changes. To do it is a little more complicated than that. Here are 2 tips that can help you burn fat and build muscle. 1. You are going to have to start working harder. This should go without saying if you have been working out and still can not burn fat and build muscle. If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results than you may be participating in exercise insanity. This is true when it comes to doing weight training. Most people try to build muscle by getting on a strength training machine after they do a long cardio workout. The problem with using strength training machines to burn fat and build muscle is that it is very easy to not work very hard while always sitting down! Using other things such as dumbbells,, bodyweight exercises, medicine ball and stability balls as tools to exercise to burn fat and build muscle. These are great ways to exercise to burn fat and build muscle because you use a lot more muscle when doing so. This will help you start to build more muscle as you continue to do it. 2. You need to pick up the pace in your cardio workouts. You will not build muscle or burn fat is you never try and go a little faster and a little harder. Long cardio routines are not an proper way to build muscle or burn fat with exercise. You might burn calories but you will not have change your metabolism. A better solution is interval training. This means using high and low intensities and varying your repetitions. The intense minutes will really start to burn fat and build muscle and the low intensity gives your body a chance to rest up. Interval training has been used effectively over the years by track runners and now you can get the same benefit once you understand how to use it to your advantage. These two burn fat and build muscle tips have been proven to work for those that have worked them. Increase the intensity in your weigth training and your cardio workouts. Vary the things you do and work in interval training to really start to burn fat and build muscle.By allowing lower intensity periods you will give your body the rest it needs. If you’d like more information or perhaps free recipes to help you lose weight come along to (Burn Fat Now) - I’ll show you (for free) how to sort out that tummy.

Hire Purchase Loans Advice

Monday, February 25th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Peter_Kenny]Peter Kenny If you want a cheap way to pay for a major financial item, then you should look at the possibilities of hire purchase. Hire purchase can help you to buy expensive items with cheap monthly payments, thereby allowing you to get the things you want more quickly. If you are tired of waiting to save your money for expensive items, then here is some information about hire purchase loans. What is hire purchase? Hire purchase is a form of lending, whereby you obtain goods and then pay back what you owe over a period of time. You pay a deposit, and then pay back part of the cost in monthly installments, adding interest. Then at the end of the loan term you decide whether or not you want to keep the item. If you want to buy the item outright, you settle the remaining balance. If not, you simply give back the item to the provider, or use its value to exchange for something else. A form of leasing Hire purchase is not really buying goods, but leasing them. Although you have the option to buy the product at the end of the contract term, during the contract do not own the product. Instead, you pay the monthly installments as a rental fee, even though this money goes towards the total product value. This is good because it allows for flexibility and reduces depreciation, although it is bad in that you are not the owner of the item. If you were to miss payments, you would have to give the item back and would have wasted the money you spent. What items is hire purchase good for? Hire purchase can be used for a variety of items, but is usually good for expensive products that will last a few years, as the payment terms usually range for 1 to 4 years. Items that hire purchase is good for are cars and other vehicles, computers and furniture. All of these items can be rented and then paid for at the end. Low monthly payments Even though you do not own the product, hire purchase is good because the monthly payments tend to be low. If you can put down a decent deposit, then you can get an expensive item for relatively little money each month. This can help you to stay within your budget and not get into debt. Also, hire purchase costs tend to be less than traditional loans, even if you decide to make the final balloon payment at the end. Swapping old for new Another major advantage of hire purchase is that when the term is up, you can use the value of the product and put it towards a new one. This is especially useful for things such as computers or cars, as you can continually upgrade for a less than you would normally. If you want to keep your products new and fresh without shelling out a fortune, hire purchase might be a good idea for you. Make sure you can afford the repayments Although hire purchase has many advantages, you are at risk of losing the item you want if you do not keep up with the payments. You do not own the product, so even a slightly late payment might cause seizure of goods. Make sure you always pay on time and that you can afford the repayments before you sign up. That way you will get the most out of hire purchase loans.

Weeding through 100 Free Online Dating Sites

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

By Erick Shipmon There are some good reasons to choose a free online dating site for your adult dating online services. Pay sites expect a commitment, maybe you are thinking about online dating but are not sure how to go about it or if you will be comfortable. Free online dating sites allow for you to explore the field, learn a little about the etiquette involved, and get your feet a little wet before you decide that dating someone through the internet is right for you. While there are over 100 free online dating sites to choose from, make sure that they are truly free before logging on. Some “free” adult dating sites really mean free sign up, or free thirty day trial, so read the fine print before choosing a screen name. Free online dating services may also be hiding inappropriate people. Unfortunately, because so many of the sites are free, they can not afford the software necessary to run 24 hour a day spot checks on incoming and outgoing emails that pay site have. You may have to weed through some undesirables, on several free sites, in order to find a reputable one. Also, please continue to be aware that people aren’t always who they say they are, especially on free adult dating sites, so do not give out any personal information which might make it easy for these people to find you in person, at first. While this is a concern for all chat rooms on the internet, it is especially important information for you to know if you are logging on to a teen dating service or a Christian dating service, because there are pedophiles and hate mongers out there pretending to be someone else. After researching many free sites, we have found that the most reputable ones are the ones which are the hardest to get into. A long essay on why you want to be involved in online dating is not a bad thing, it weeds out the people who don’t want to take the time to set up a sincere profile, so don’t give up, go through the hoops, read the user reviews, and take your time searching for the right free adult dating website, there are many good ones out there. Erick Shipmon has been an online marketer since 1997. He currently is the President and CEO of http://www.eDatingPlanet.com which is quickly becoming the hottest and most desirable online dating community on the planet. eDatingPlanet.com online dating services include: E-mail, Live Chat, Live Video Cam, FREE VoIP Broadband Long Distance, and more!

The Revealing Touch

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

By James Sniechowski A number of years ago, Jim challenged Judith, telling her that she didnt touch him as much as he touched her. Judith was shocked. From her perspective, she was very affectionate physically. No way, said Jim, not so. By that time in our relationship wed learned how each other liked to receive criticism so that it wasnt experienced as an attack. But Jim wanted her to be sure to know he was very serious, and meant it as a challenge to her to become more aware, and of course much more physically affectionate. A short time later we were driving to meet her father, a trip of about an hour and a half. During the ride, Judith asked, Jim, do you feel that? She was smiling. Feel what? Jim said. Making her point, she squeezed his thigh where her hand already touched him. That. He looked down and knew immediately that he had been hoisted on his own challenge. How long has your hand been there? Judith was beaming with affection, Oh, about three minutes. Oh, he smiled, and began to move his mouth as though he was chewing. What are you doing? Judith wondered. As a blush was rising in his cheeks, he half-whispered, Well, this crow isnt bad. Your recipe? We both laughed, enjoying each others humanity. Sadly, in many relationships, a moment like that has the potential for real danger. The one exposed for being unconscious can feel it as humiliation and then retaliate. But that happens only when the foibles and frailties of being human are not embraced. The fact is, not one of us escapes feeling absolutely certain about something only to bump into the wide range of our own lack of awareness. You see, intimacy has a difficult time with absolute certainty. Theres no room to breathe, and no room to receive reality. Albert Camus wrote Nothing is true that forces one to exclude. We believe that wholeheartedly. Jim was not proclaiming from on high when he made the initial challenge. And Judith had no intention of belittling him. Reality was the point. Reality the only place where penetrating intimacy can take root and become a spiritual bouquet. Keep in mind, this point is tricky. We all have powerful feelings and act on them with confidence. Thats okay. As long as you remember not to exclude. When you do, you get caught in your own lie. Jims challenge opened up more awareness for us both. And thats the point. Intimacy and awareness are two sides of the same soul. And besides, now very little, if any, of our touching goes by unnoticed. Thats one level of the payoff. The other is consciousness. We are much better aware of each others needs with regard to physical affection, giving and receiving it more freely and joyously. Dont back away from announcing what you believe is right. Even if its not, if your intention is to support the well-being of your relationship, you will be rewarded in the end. Judith Sherven and James Sniechowski share the secret of life-long romance.

Know your Man: Relatives

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

By Maria Moratto Happiness is having a large, loving, caring close-knit family in another city. ~ George Burns Relations are simply a tedious pack of people, who haven’t got the remotest knowledge of how to live, nor the smallest instinct about when to die. ~ Oscar Wilde We need to trade tolerance. Though there are people we get along greatly, in every family, especially the one that is not ours, it is sometimes difficult to tolerate some of the members, mainly the ones we consider boring or nosy. No one disagrees with me on this one, I am sure. Marianne was complaining that her brother-in-law came for a several-days visit while her husband was working. Since she has little to talk to him, or so she thinks, she confined herself in her bedroom for days, and would only get out of it to cook dinner for the husband. This situation was unnerving for her and she could not stop feeling victimized because of this guest. Now, couldnt she have made the best of it, learned to appreciate another human being who is, after all, part of her family, and enjoy the visit? What kind of behavior is this, leaving a guest to fend for himself and providing food and company only when it was in her best interest to do so? Where are the laws of common courtesy? Like everyone, I, too, have my own his/hers relatives stories. A former mother-in-law (I had two) used to come to my house and bring old bread nah this is a mother-in-law story and will be discussed in another article. A Word of Advice: Ladies and Gents: Decide before the first big argument regarding relatives, how you will deal with the relatives. They are real, they will not disappear, and they are dear to each of you. Compromise and by that I do not mean: You shall put up with my relatives as long as no relative of yours ever visits us. Now, if you have already had your argument about relatives, you are a little late for a first compromise, but not for a subsequent one. Sign a contract expressing exactly what you both expect in terms of courteous behavior. Maria Moratto 2006 Want to have more abundance, health, time, love, fun, and blessings?
