A
lazy
person's
guide
to
self
-
improvement
Anxious
to
be
a
better
person
,
but
too
busy
to
persevere
?
You
are
not
alone
.
Here's
the
answer
.
.
.
If
you
are
anything
like
me
,
then
all
those
New
Year's
resolutions
fell
by
the
wayside
as
we
started
to
forget
the
January
blues
and
look
forward
to
the
pleasures
of
summer
.
Don't
get
me
wrong
,
I'm
all
for
self
-
improvement
.
As
Ernest
Hemingway
put
it
:
"
There
is
nothing
in
being
superior
to
your
fellow
man
;
true
nobility
is
being
superior
to
your
former
self
.
"
It's
just
that
there's
a
lot
of
scope
for
improvement
and
not
a
lot
of
time
in
which
to
perfect
it
.
So
what
do
you
do
?
Well
,
in
recent
years
a
new
school
of
self
-
improvement
has
increased
in
popularity
,
a
version
that
seems
to
recognize
the
fact
that
most
people
have
full
-
time
jobs
.
Books
with
titles
such
as
The
ten
-
minute
millionaire
,
The
five
-
minute
healer
and
my
personal
favorite
,
the
international
bestseller
,
The
miracle
morning
:
the
six
habits
that
will
transform
your
life
before
8
am
.
Now
this
is
more
like
it
.
I
like
the
whole
idea
of
a
quick
fix
.
The
miracle
morning
shows
how
a
morning
routine
built
around
six
key
practices
known
as
'Life
S
.
A
.
V
.
E
.
R
.
S
"
?
that
is
Silence
,
,
Visualization
,
Exercise
,
Reading
,
and
.
Can
help
you
get
more
done
and
live
your
best
life
.
I'll
give
that
a
go
for
a
start
.
I
then
think
to
myself
,
maybe
I
could
afford
to
also
spend
a
few
minutes
becoming
a
more
positive
person
.
You
may
have
noticed
a
rather
negative
glass
half
full
kind
of
tone
thus
far
.
Anyway
,
in
a
bid
to
develop
a
happy
outlook
on
life
,
I
leafed
through
a
summary
of
15
minutes
to
happiness
by
Richard
Nicholls
.
I
immediately
came
across
a
piece
of
wisdom
that
made
me
happier
.
Nicholls
says
that
actively
seeking
happiness
can
often
end
up
making
people
feel
less
happy
.
In
fact
,
he
stresses
the
value
of
negative
thinking
.
He
even
goes
so
far
as
to
say
,
"
be
open
to
the
possibility
that
you
bought
this
book
and
you
don't
actually
need
it
.
"
I
decided
that
is
true
and
an
excellent
use
of
my
15
minutes
.
Like
many
people
of
advancing
years
,
I
am
conscious
that
my
waistline
is
ever
expanding
and
that
an
effort
needs
to
be
made
to
control
the
tendency
.
A
diet
is
out
of
the
question
,
but
a
little
exercise
?
say
ten
minutes
a
day
?
I'm
sure
I
can
manage
that
.
A
quick
search
on
Amazon
reveals
a
of
alternatives
,
but
I'm
attracted
to
the
title
The
flexible
body
:
move
better
anywhere
,
anytime
in
ten
minutes
a
day
by
Roger
Frampton
.
I
get
as
far
as
the
instructions
on
how
to
construct
a
chart
of
exercises
before
deciding
that
Mr
.
Frampton's
idea
of
a
simple
explanation
is
not
something
I
can
master
in
ten
minutes
.
So
I
turn
to
yoga
.
Now
,
yoga
is
relaxing
and
it
improves
flexibility
,
right
?
In
her
book
,
The
ten
minute
yoga
solution
,
author
Ida
Trivedi
promises
that
ten
minutes
of
yoga
a
day
will
make
me
calmer
and
more
physically
fit
.
Just
the
ticket
!
The
book
doesn't
contain
a
lot
of
instructions
,
I
like
that
,
it
saves
time
!
So
I
settle
down
to
try
and
mimic
the
illustrated
poses
,
or
asanas
.
I
wasn't
quite
sure
what
I
had
expected
,
but
aches
and
pains
weren't
on
the
list
.
Maybe
,
I
should
try
the
diet
after
all
.
So
,
after
all
this
research
,
what
is
my
conclusion
?
Well
,
there
are
two
actually
.
Number
one
:
I
don't
believe
there
is
a
quick
fix
for
any
of
my
weaknesses
,
and
number
two
:
I
was
right
not
to
make
any
New
Year's
resolutions
.
