Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=258 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=258 I've recently learned about the act of "fake recycling" from a beloved friend; a friend who I thought was an earth friendly do-gooder and recycler. Little did I know until she confessed, she was only pretending to recycle Tue, 01 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=257 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=257 The first quarter of the year is half over and so are most of our New Year's resolutions. Now it's time to focus on warm weather.

But there was one thing above all that I was determined to see during my stay: J.W. Waterhouse's marvelous painting Ulysses and the Sirens (1891) at the National Gallery of Victoria.

I was a smoker since the age of 15. For years I wanted to quit.

I read books about how to set goals, such as SMART goals, and how much by when.

I am trying to change my career and as many other will know, working full time and studying can be an arduous task at the best of times.

Yet it is important to take the time to really dig and see where your money is going.

As she arrived at work one morning, her supervisor met her as she was just entering the building. On either side of him were security guards Mon, 27 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=211 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=211 I hear from a lot of parents that their recent graduate or college student is not motivated or that he is just lazy. Does it seem like your child just wants to watch TV and hang out with her friends? Maybe at your kid's age, you not only had a job and your own house, but were married and had 3 children. So how do you get your "unmotivated graduate" off the couch and on the road to his life? Wed, 10 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=210 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=210 We all want to be heard. We all have ideas that we want to share, stories to tell, and insights to explore. However, it can be hard to get those ideas, stories, and insights from our heads and onto paper or a screen Wed, 10 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=207 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=207 It can seem like an overwhelming goal due to the size of the debt, but paying off your home mortgage early is possible. Yes, you get a tax deduction for the mortgage interest on your tax return and yes, mortgage rates are at all-time historical lows. Yet those individuals I talk with who have their home mortgage paid off early enjoy less stress during retirement Thu, 21 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=205 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=205 The best scenic overlooks are the ones that take time and energy to reach. The "overlook" exits on the interstate really don't compare to what you get for going on a little hike of your own.

It's not the shoes you wear, the weights you lift, or the nutrition book you read. Fitness is not your yoga mat. It's not the Workout of the Day. An individual's fitness is Tue, 24 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=196 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=196 3) Not Exercising Enough To truly lose weight we have to create a calorie deficit. Therefore we have to focus on burning enough calories each day and week to drop weight. One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories. So to lose one pound of fat a week you must burn 500 more calories than you consume each day.

Therefore, I won't pound you over the head with regurgitated arguments about spinal stability, length/tension relationships, or the importance of muscle connectivity in the pelvic floor. Suffice it to say, IT'S IMPORTANT. Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=68 http://www.stickk.com/articles.php?articleID=68 5. The Stress Interview It's just as it sounds: an interview designed to stress you out. The point? To see how you cope. The interviewer will try to intimidate you by asking Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000
