Make your life offline easier

You might be getting yourself all organised online, but what about offline? Here's a few tips to get your offline life easier.

1. Outsource your chores. Your time and your sanity are worth more than that kid's hourly wage. Get someone to do the things you don't want to, giving you more time for the important things in your life.
2. Never travel without a swimsuit. You don't want to miss any opportunity to enjoy a hot tub or sauna!
3. Park far away from entrances. It increases your exercise, and reduces your stress. You have a better chance of getting a park further away, instead of fighting others over a park closer to the door.
4. Change your billing cycle so they all come at the same time. This allows you to budget easier, and have the bills come out only once a month, instead of at various times throughout each month.
5. Let the phone ring. If it's important, they'll leave a message. You don't have to pick up the phone, you know. Don't let their complications interrupt something you're doing. You can call them back in your own time.

Overcoming the myths about introverts

There's a lot of myths about introverts, and many introverts even start to believe those myths. Here's a few tips to help you get past the myths.

1. Introverts are not a legitimate personality type. There are actually two personality types - extroverts and introverts. Extroverts would like you to think they're normal and you're not, but you need to point out that both personality types are just as valid as each other.
   
2. Introverts are neurotic. Neuroticism is not just confined to introverts; extroverts can be quite neurotic too.
   
3. Introverts are prone to mental illnesses. Considering that when extroverts are stressed they revert to overeating, drinking, smoking, and violence, while introverts simply withdraw.... who really has the mental illness?
   
4. Introverts are anti-social. Actually, introverts are often very social, but they just need to limit their time around people. Where extroverts are recharged by being around people, introverts need time alone to recharge.
   
5. Introverts have nothing to say. Introverts only speak when they have something important to say! Extroverts are constantly talking, but how often are they actually saying anything meaningful?
   
6. Introverts spend a lot of time alone. And extroverts spend a lot of time with people.... so what? Introverts are very creative, and you can't exercise that creatiity when you're surrounded by people who just can't keep quiet.
   
7. Introverts are losers. Many introverts are the exact opposite, actually. Winning isn't always about being extroverted. Look at Einstein, Speilberg, Charles Darwin, Gandhi, Michael Jordan and even Bruce Lee. All introverts.
