  Whether choosing which car to buy, which job to take, who to date, or which sandwich to order; there is no shortage of endless information and data that you could consume, tabulate, study and otherwise obsess over. Fear of making the wrong choice prevents us from acting on a decision.  So one [...]]]></description>

According to Techcrunch, Twitter, CNN, Facebook and other major and reliable sources, we are &#8220;never not working&#8221;.  We don&#8217;t take vacations.  Lunch breaks are a thing of the past.  Everyone&#8217;s out of shape because no one is playing.  No one is sleeping.  Everyone has trouble focussing at work because of lack of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In re-reading 4-Hour Work Week I came across this quote:
There&#8217;s no difference between a pessimist who says, &#8220;Oh, it&#8217;s hopeless, don&#8217;t bother doing anything,&#8221; and an optimist who says, &#8220;Don&#8217;t bother doing anything, it&#8217;s going to turn out fine anyway.&#8221;
Either way, nothing happens.
- Yvong Chouinard, founder of Pategonia
