Breakfast is such a weird habit

inventors my ass

coincidentally, this sodding morning i have had to clean my flat for an inspection while waste comes up through the bath plughole and water rains down through the 4 feet square hole in my kitchen ceiling

I Love #10!

Saying "Buh-bye" to anything is for losers.

Finally, an expose on the arcane habits of successful people. This list will start a revolution.

The eating tips, in particular. Whoooooodathunkit.

Clickbait listicles are increasingly mirroring the value-free tone of the backside of a cereal box.

Toss It is not what I was expecting.

It's what you do immediately after eating a wholesome breakfast.

How the hell is breakfast a weird habit?

going to bed early is good. i find it strange when friends say they'll stay up till 2am on a weeknight watching tv or whatever.

"toss it" the only one i live up to with any regularity, but all of my "inventions" have pretty much gone right down the drain

hear the sound of bir... opening?

10. Don't die: It's sometimes easy to forget but being alive is a crucial element of success.
9. Stay out of jail: Morning is a good time for many things but getting arrested for committing crimes is not one of them. Try to refrain from blatantly-illegal activities until at least late afternoon.
8. Keep your sanity: It's easy to go completely insane but many successful people agree that sanity plays a key role in their ability to succeed.
7. Go to your job: As tempting as it is to just stay home every day, you'll find that actually showing up to your place of employment will greatly increase your chances of success.
6. Breathe: Don't forget to inhale and also to exhale every once in a while. Some people think of oxygen as 'success fuel'!
5. Put on clothes: Unless you live and work in a nudist colony, it's astonishing how much the simple act of wearing clothes will contribute to your success.
4. Don't scream obscenities at work: We all occasionally overlook how deleterious an effect screaming at people can have on our success, but hit that pause button on the screams and just see if your 'success meter' doesn't start to register off the chart!
3. Use the bathroom in the bathroom: Every successful person has, at one time or another, taken the ill-advised path of urinating and defecating themselves, but they'll all tell you that they've learned that using toilets has been much more instrumental to their success.
2. Get out of bed: It's amazing how much more mobile you are once you actually move into an upright position and start moving around.
1. Wake up: Successful people all agree that consciousness is the most important element of their 'success profile'. Try it!

Old Lunch's #7 is some bullshit though

1. Convince yourself that you aren't dreaming: Successful people covet real success not dream success, you dummy! Reserve the first 8 hours of the day (known as the Power Third to successful people) for making it absolutely certain that you aren't dreaming.

#1 really only applies at the end of DST.

We have the Captivate Network in our elevators at work, and among the rotation of captivating material is a series of banal and meaningless quotes from various business gurus that I find perpetually fascinating. Like "Reducing the number of petty disputes in your office will greatly increase productivity"-level. "If you find that you have a tendency to overwork yourself, try working a little less every day." These guys have it figured out ('it' being 'gaming suckers into paying you $$$ for shitting out of your mouth').

It was number 8 and number 4 which piqued my interest - I wonder if the double entendre was intended? Is it like 'help I'm trapped in a clickbait factory'?

Buh-Bye?

xp Captivate makes me irrationally angry, in part just because it's another example of "We were concerned you still had a few moments of your day where you might not be viewing advertising, so we're working on that." /trenchantsocialcommentary

And they even acknowledge in the name that you're a captive (and, perhaps, even hostile) audience. At any rate, it's easy for me to ignore since I have fully 0% interest in any of their advertising/content.

Is this written by the guy behind me at work? He once announced that he was never tired or jaded on Monday mornings because he made sure to fill his weekends with energetic and fulfilling activities including ~helping other people~

(also detailed his exercise routine for what felt like almost as long as his hours of daily biking, exercise biking, jogging, cardio etc. who even has time for that, I can barely find time to sit on the sofa and drink myself comatose by bedtime as it is)

I don't know why nobody else seems to feel the urge to punch him that I do every fucking minute

I do

i get up at 5 so i can don my black robes and sing requia for all my deceased friends and family before my weetabix and sudoku

wasn't Winston Churchill into a bit of the ol' liquid gold on a morning? I heard that it was hushed up that he once had a serious follow-through half way through one of his iconic speeches.

Get Up An Hour Early: There is a 25th hour in the day. You’ve just been sleeping through it.

No. Freakin. Way.

what is difference between pumping you up and giving you a boost of energy?
