Last week, I talked about personal development and how it affects every aspect of our personal and professional lives. One of the hallmarks of personal development and building a balanced life, is good health. Of course a key component of good health is getting enough sleep, and if you’re like me, you usually don’t get enough. Lack of sleep not only affects our physical health, but also our mental well-being. It is a factor in how we handle stress, how well we perform, and our overall quality of life. To our rescue comes Steve Pavlina, who just wrote a comprehensive article, How to wake up feeling totally alert.
Pavlina’s blog is one of the most popular on the web, and it’s easy to see why. It is a treasure trove of information and advice on personal development, well documented, interesting to read, and always right to the point. Some of his material may appear to be out in left field, but there’s no doubt Pavlina is an intelligent observer and leading edge thinker. You’d almost have to be when your "slogan" is "Personal Development For Smart People".
By the way, if his home page looks vaguely familiar, it’s because I modeled mine on it.
