Exercise
Take a nap
Eat something healthy and drink water every two hours you’re awake
Good sooner is better than perfect later – the first does not preclude the second
Big or persistent problems should be broken into smaller problems
Any thing you want to remember should be written down
To learn a thing – do it. To master a thing – do it for many years
You have no will-power. Bribe, incentivize and trick yourself
Take your hobbies seriously
Balance is more important than any individual success or failure

Gaining Trust

Be a patient listener (it is this, not fast talking, that gets a con-man his coups).
Never look bored.
Wait for the other person to reveal any political opinions, then agree with them.
Let the other person reveal religious views, then have the same ones.
Hint at sex talk, but don’t follow it up unless the other fellow shows a strong interest.
Never discuss illness, unless some special concern is shown.
Never pry into a person’s personal circumstances (they’ll tell you all eventually).
Never boast. Just let your importance be quietly obvious.
Never be untidy.
Never get drunk.

According to Malcom Gladwell in "Tipping Point" it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert in almost anything.
