How to Beat Depression and Boredom
by Struggling to give your life more fun, more energy, more joy in a business you hate to run and the only thing that motivates you is the desire to to outsmart your acquittances? Read this article to see an opinion.
Boredom, tiredness and depression comes from one thing: Lack of performance. When you work below your maximum capacity your body will reduce the amount of oxygen it consumes and lowers blood pressure leading you to mental drowsiness and low performance state. Check books about depression to see the scientific facts. A good one is Dale Carnegie’s How To Stop Worrying and Start Living. By giving all you got in the job, even if you do not get a promotion at least you get the satisfaction of working at your peak performance. In a business you need to sale to earn, peak performance is not an option.
1. Use a clock to measure the amount of work you do. If you are a student try to double the amount of books you read. If you are a sales man think of how you can double the amount of sales you make by cutting in half the amount of time spent with costumers.
2. If you are a programmer try to see how tools can double your productivity by using drag and drop commands to insert the code for you. Game Maker is a good example of the future of programming tools.
3. If you work with monotonous work such as assembling computers try to do that task as fast as you can. When the boss is looking for someone that can learn any job and is eager to do his best in any kind of job, they look for the most hard working person in the assembling line, this is how it works in Portugal.
Many things can still be said here, let’s leave that for another article.

I am coming to Portugal in Feb. Do you live in Portugal? Never are you forgotten, I have been trying to do all the things that my newly published book “You Can’t Have Too Many Boston Terriers” requires me to do, see “Floggin’ Your Book” and all of this takes so much time, as well I have been trying to keep up on my writing for Triond as well as writing my new book “Treetops and Tidepools” as well as finishing the knitting for the Christmas Bazaar in our little town of Thompson Falls for Sat 5th, and this leaves me no time for hardly anything, I don’t even seem to have time to finish a cup of coffee, so no I have forgotten no one, you all my friends I have been going to your writes, clicking I like, but then have to move on!! Also there are so many “I Like” Love to you all.

Is “depression” the right word… perhaps it is, though not referring to the long term medical condition. I know that for some it is a chemical condition and no amount of light, oxygen, and fresh air help. Exercise, affirmations, and positive action plans just don’t help. I do know that for some medication helps and others psychotherapy helps – according to studies equally well. However, if someone has situational depression, I figure these things in the article might do the trick. But many who suffer the throws of major depression, the title might just make them feel like their very real disability isn’t considered valid.
