Then you remember the standard advice: “Take all of your senses to a grassy meadow. Smell the flowers, listen to the insects, feel the grass, watch the birds flying above you.” What a load of rubbish. When I am really under pressure, this sort of method just doesn’t work.

The poor economy is making me unable to live comfortably. My relationship with my spouse is putting a strain on my work performance. I’m constantly treated poorly by friends and family. While it’s true that there are things in the outside world we can’t control, the biggest difference between two people is simply their reaction towards it. Having understood this for a while, I’ve often asked the question, “How?” How is it possible to change your reaction to a particular event or situation?...
The words we use can have a remarkable effect on behavior. For example, clinical studies have shown that having patients engage in “change talk”, or talk that makes the case for why they should change, is associated with positive results that aren’t as apparent when someone else makes the case for them. Take out the clinical setting and you’ve got a familiar scenario. Think back to the last time your mother, spouse, sister, friends, or colleagues lectured you about taking care of yourself, dumping that unhealthy relationship, or making that jump to a less stressful job....

While in school, I worked in some of the hottest restaurants and hotels in L.A. One of my first jobs was an assistant position at a top-talent agency in Hollywood where we booked reservations for big agents and celebrities. Now, I dine at some of the finest restaurants in town with clients and friends, so I know a thing or two about the scene. Restaurants aren’t just a place to eat–they represent a lifestyle and are one of the best places to see and be seen....
• My daughter wakes me up at 5am and starts chattering nonstop like some sort of broken wind up doll. • My dogs are whining and wanting their morning exercise. • My husband rolls over and grumbles, reminding me that it’s never a good idea to bother a hibernating bear. • I’m scrambling to get breakfast served before the impending toddler meltdown. • Oh, and I haven’t made enough money this month, and my parents are coming over for dinner tonight, and the holidays are coming....
My weird productivity tricks are a little unconventional, but I urge you to give them a shot and see if they have any impact. 1. Use a treadmill desk I begin each workday with a 3-4 mile walk, but instead of losing an hour for a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood, I’m getting things done right away.

Almost every important decision I’ve ever had to make has been made out of necessity and under pressure of various kinds, and that’s given me the chance to work out a process that I can use to work through them in a detached way. You can never eliminate all the bias that comes from emotions and circumstances. Subjectivity is inherently part of being a human being. But you can minimize that bias through the use of a reliable process and make the most of a bad situation....
