will powers - adventures in success (mp3)

happy new year and welcome back to our fancy new-look blog! i was hoping to post this yesterday, but i'm sure i wasn't the only one who spent the day on the sofa, curled up under a duvet, watching bad movies and trying to keep any movement to a minimum.

like many, you may have chosen to make some sort of a new start yesterday - to try a different outlook on life, find a new career path, or to attempt to start/stop doing something you should/shouldn't. whatever you want from 2007, i hope will powers' 3 laws of success can inspire you to be a better person this year. this track is taken from a 1982 concept album "dancing for mental health", based on the idea of what would happen if a psychiatrist recorded a workout record, and can almost be seen as the prototype for baz lurhmann's everybody's free (to wear sunscreen) (but please don't hold that against it!). i've just found a blog that purports to be written by the fabricated psychologist powers, which offers some more motivational tips - some good advice, but nowhere near some of my personal productivity favourites 43folders, lifehacker and david seah. oh and if you're planning on taking control of your life this year, the greatest start (and a recommendation with my strongest backing) would be to begin getting things done!

so as will powers puts so perfectly - "make it habit, make it happen", and all the best for 2007 from us here at bff.
