2. Build as much potential for self-reliance into your life as possible. |
| A house that remains habitable without cheap and reliable external power |
| A yard suitable for growing some vegetables |
| Real books in case TV and the Internet become less reliable, especially ones on saving seeds, growing crops, and other do-it-yourself pioneer stuff |
| Stock up on items of importance that may become hard to obtain, like medicine for diabetics or condoms |
Necessities like shelter (including heat in cold climates) and food are most important, of course. |
Sometimes the places you can cut back are not as obvious as you might think. | You don’t have to give up your favorite beverage completely. Just substitute half the amount you usually drink with tap water. |
| To keep more money in your wallet instead of the trash can, evaluate the amount of food you eat and consider how much of it goes bad before you consume it. |
| These items are typically more expensive than the versions that don’t make the same health claims. |
| Instead of purchasing a wide array of supplements, figure out what your body needs and buy only those vitamins or, better yet, get those nutrients from food. |
| Cosmetics and toiletries: |
| Paula Begoun, author of The Beauty Bible, says that sunscreen is the only true anti-aging product. Creams that claim to get rid of cellulite or wrinkles usually don’t.Read more at finance.yahoo.com |
From a post on Reddit by an individual who lives in “one of the coldest cities in the world” (Edmonton, AB).
Put your jacket on 5/10min before you have to go outside. It’s the little pockets of air that insulate you. If that air is warm, you will stay warm a lot longer. Long underwear. For women in an office environment, even a pair of tights or nylons under your pants will make an enormous difference. Wear a toque (knit hat for Americans). Most of your body heat is lost through your head. Jeans are the worst for keeping you warm. If you need them for work, wear something that insulates underneath. Mitts will always keep your hands warmer than gloves. Stand out of the wind. If you’re walking, walk alongside a wall. Layer everything loosely. It’s not the additional clothes that keep you warm so much as the pockets of air in between. |
5 home remedies for dealing with the funk. I’m a little sketchy about the alcohol since that would probably also dry out the skin (which is why you should avoid spraying body spray into your underarms), but the other solutions are viable.

If you can truly understand these Six Guiding Principles, then you know
what it means to be a person. If you don’t understand the Six Guidelines,
then you’re simply running in
lock-step with the rat-race of this mad age. As long as you flow with the
tide of insanity, you’re just another madman, as crazy as the next person.Read more at deoxy.org |
1. Mortgage underwater? Just walk away from it. Even academia says it’s OK. Move to the city and rent. |
| The easiest way to kill the so-called news networks is to cut them off at their enablers. |
| If you have a cell account, you don’t need a landline, so they’re just jacking you for money. |
| 4. Reacquire your wealth. |
| Withdraw any extra cash you have, close whatever extra accounts you have, and take it somewhere besides Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase or another bailout addict. |
| 5. Pacify your portfolio. |
| Sure, commodities like oil and food are hot, but they’re infested by speculators, to whom they are just playthings designed for maximum profit. |
| For the cards you must keep, pay them off by any means necessary, and then pay them off monthly. |
| 8. Stop buying bottled water, factory-farmed beef and new cars, especially hybrids. |
| 9. Do not watch whiny bitches. |
| A good approach when we have to face again a project we can’t continue is to rethink the same job again in a totally different way. |
| One of the most effective ways to combat procrastination is to set an alarm at regular intervals of 20 minutes, and work until we hear that magical “ding” that will allow us to rest for several minutes. |
| This time, instead of establishing 20-minute working periods, we need to set a limit to our working time. |
| Throw out the difficult parts |
| All we have to do is imagine that we have resolved it and we can move forward and continue working on other parts of the project. |
| When we are completely blocked, often the only things we can do are shut off and dedicate ourselves to a completely different activity.Read more at www.bizweek.com.au |
