One example she uses in her book is, "Microactions can work in any field. My husband uses them with the high school students he counsels. Seventeen-year olds have a thousand ingenious reasons why they have not yet applied for college admission. Instead of harping on them to fill out the application and warning them of the dire consequences if they fail to act in time, he asks them to bring in a postage stamp.

He instructs them first to lick the stamp they roll their eyes and then place it on an addressed envelope in his presence. He reminds them that everyone who has graduated from college first put a stamp on an envelope and mailed in the applications. The kids think his advice is so stupid they mail in the forms.

What else are they going to do with the stamped envelope?

I often talk about habits that could also be referred to as rituals and we are the product of what we repeatedly do. She talks about creating possible rituals. Many interesting parallels in this book to some of my tricks and habits. And don't worry, I wont get too laid back. I would strongly recommend this book.

Although we are swimming perhaps drowning in self help books in general -- and "how to live the good life" books in particular -- this book provided several excellent ideas which I had not seen in other books of its ilk. In this day and age, getting even one novel and useful idea out of a book is the exception rather than the rule.

HOW TO CONNECT YOUR DISCONNECTED Life

But her ideas for a "Memory Jar," a "Feel Good File," and a "Policy statement" were worth the price of the book alone.

I felt Mary LoVerde was writing to me personally about connecting to those things that are really important in our hectic lifestyles, particularly when we are being slammed by the realities of everyday life: This book will help you to "connect" - through amazing insights and then by providing practical and useble recommendations and strategies.

Breaking a task or goal into little tiny micro actions to get the ball rolling, I find as I look at my goals and projects that I often get exhausted just thinking about all the steps that are necessary and get completely frozen in my tracks and never get started.
