Not sure if that was intentional or not - but I liked it! ;-) But there is some very solid advice here. Being a "decider" is something I certainly struggle with, and it is definitely something I need to work on in order to improve my conversion rates on various websites. I'm not sure who/what I look to for help in this matter either, but thanks for making me think more about it!

]]> Comment on The Decision Economy (Danger: This Post Contains Rebuplicans) by Francisco http://www.journeyofmyown.com/the-decision-economy-danger-this-post-contains-rebuplicans/comment-page-1/#comment-18565 Francisco Sat, 21 Jan 2012 22:46:47 +0000 http://www.journeyofmyown.com/?p=2845#comment-18565 Great article Clayton. This reminds me of something I came across in the seduction community. With online dating and personal ads, most people will be very vague and general about the kind of person they are looking for. The tip they gave was to be as specific as possible in the listing. It always makes me smile whenever I see some guy using a marketing technique in order to get laid. I guess its all sales in the end. Cheers Great article Clayton.

]]> Comment on Quitting Your Job vs. Moving Toward Passion by Francisco http://www.journeyofmyown.com/quitting-your-job-vs-moving-toward-passion/comment-page-1/#comment-18562 Francisco Sat, 21 Jan 2012 22:19:38 +0000 http://www.journeyofmyown.com/?p=2854#comment-18562 Hey Clayton, great post. My favorite posts from your blog are definitely the ones on lifestyle design. My worst job was processing urine samples at a drug testing lab. Disgusting! Your article hits on something that I don't want to forget. I didn't get into internet marketing in order to spend my life creating websites and writing eBooks. I got into internet marketing for the freedom it allows and to find what truly satisfies and fulfills me. As I become more successful with this and I continue to make more money it becomes harder to remain true to the original goal. Cheers, Francisco Hey Clayton, great post.

GTD is amazing system and definitely works - I also did a lot of research eariler, and found that people simply adjust GTD towards their own habits and work-style, and still get amazing productivity increase. Thanks Clayton - you post is great for organizing folders system, this is my priority now to finally get my own system in place It’s pretty interesting but I developed technique some time ago – I usually work in 45 minute intervals – the AbAlarm usually gives a sign that the time is over.

Cool system for sure and I could definitely see it working for me. I may have to figure out a way to implement this system digitally though. I have been downsizing, purging, and majorly decluttering my stuff as we will soon be moving abroad. At this point, we hope to leave within 3 months so I'm going to experiment with a way to do this on my laptop. Still, I can just imagine the satisfaction of ripping up those notecards as tasks get completed! Thanks for this post, Tali Wow!

I believe that this is one of the main reasons why we end up following certain people. It's because of the connection we feel with a person's particular story and how it resonates with us. @Tali, Yeah, stories are very powerful in our lives.

With any luck I'll be joining you in a few months :) @Tali, NYC is pretty expensive, from what I’ve heard, but then again, if you can make it in NYC, you can make it anywhere :)

I think we as humans yearn for connections more than we realize. We can connect with stories in a way that a basic link cannot provide. Using our experiences to tell our stories and in turn become connected to other peoples' stories is a priceless process! -Tali Im with you on this Clay!
