Okay.  This is a really bad title.  It’s there for you to hate.  But that’s the point.  People remember things they hate. 

                             Now you know why they make those commercials.

Besides, it does cue you in on the main thing we are talking about in this section.

If you want to do something, set a cue.
                              If you don’t want to do something,
 don’t set a cue.

You can make your own cues, of course.  So what we provided here is a starter set.  A nest egg.  A seed packet.

Passwords to your brain channels.

Well, actually, it‘s just a collection of ideas.  Ideas that some people have found useful.   Some of them are slogans and sayings.  Others are comments or questions that people often use in talking about personal problems.  Some of these ideas may be useful to you. 

Crib sheets for the Thinkerer

If you are thinking about a problem, some of these ideas may trigger a new line of thinking.  If you are trying to change a habit, some of these ideas may just give you the right cue at the right time.  If you want to get an idea across to somebody else, some cue may say just what you want to say.

                                              Everything has already been thought of. 
                        The problem is thinking of it when you need it.

We’ve organized these ideas into sets of common problems that people talk about.   We’ve put them in a card format (and .pdf format) so you can print them if you want.   

You can practice your skills with less risk in an online virtual environment.

Skills.  We have also gathered lists of personal skills that people generally have in some degree.  To provide some organization, we have subdivided the collection into Skills of Self, Skills of Mulling, and Skills of Action.  There is considerable overlap because some skills work in more than one way. 

If you look over these skills to find the ones you are good at, you may find cues to a wider choice of skills than you regularly use.  If one skill does not work on a given problem, you may find another that is more effective.

If you always do what you've always done,

you’ll always get what you've always got.
