Dogs Are Smarter Than People: Writing Life, Marriage and Motivation

This week we delve into sleep and how to sleep like a boss and why you might want to, but it's your life and your choice.

Have your routines. Mine is eat, poop, snuggle, find dark place, sleep.

You can learn from this.

AND we have a writing tips podcast called WRITE BETTER NOW! It's taking a bit of a hiatus, but there are a ton of tips over there.

We have a podcast, LOVING THE STRANGE, which we stream biweekly live on Carrie’s Facebook and Twitter and YouTube on Fridays. Her Facebook and Twitter handles are all carriejonesbooks or carriejonesbook. But she also has extra cool content focused on writing tips here.

Carrie is reading one of her raw poems every once in awhile on CARRIE DOES POEMS. And there you go! Whew! That's a lot!

This week, we venture aware from the world of self-development and into the world on the weird because we honestly just need a break.

Hopefully, you'll be along for the ride.

This week's advice is via Sparty who says, "You know, if you love squirrels, it's okay to love squirrels. Love who you love, man. Or, you know, just love the squirrel you're with."

I wrote over on LIVING HAPPY about some time management tools for planning your day, and today, Shaun and I are checking it out a little bit more.

Day planning needs to include walks, poops, and water. Just saying.

First off, many apologies, because Shaun was super naughty this podcast.

There's a belief that if you make 90-day goals, it super charges you.

We're going to explain that. And we're going to give it a try.

Plus, general weirdness. Come hang out for 20 minutes.

And remember when you make goals:

Good goal: Finish first draft of Weirdos of Bar Harbor by April 1.

Bad goal: write a book.

Go after your snacks. Be all about your goal. Do you. Don't let other people neg your goal.

Yep. It’s Valentine’s Day so we are talking about how you need more than love to be happy and fulfilled. Or here, let’s rephrase it: It’s not necessarily love that makes you happy and fulfilled. And that's what we talk about this podcast. Plus, giant pandas take each other hostage to court and giraffes have a lot of water sports.

DOG TIP FOR LIFE

Loving each other is way more important than fighting over who is alpha or blaming each other. Also, hug people when they come home and wag your tail as much as possible.

A lot of people set goals or resolutions and not all of us complete them. This is especially true about resolutions where only about 9% achieve them.

Sometimes that’s about a fear of failure. It becomes such a big fear that it keeps us from moving forward.

You have to fail to succeed.

There’s a lot of belief out there that if you fail at something, that failure labels you, defines you.

And also a woman who started breathing at a funeral home.

This podcast is about farting, worries, and fried chicken incense. What other self-improvement podcast can give you such smelly happiness? None, right?

Come hang out for a bit!

If it's farts or love declarations or a loan application, don't be afraid to let it out. Yeah, it might not go awesomely, but it's better than not knowing. All movement matters. You don't want to hold it in. Especially the farts.

― Ray Bradbury

This episode is about the stakeholders in your head and how they shape your success and also about drinking 40 shots with wrestling guru the Undertaker.

Only listen to the good voices and don't drink 40 shots.
