Sometimes you know you should be doing something but you just don't feel like it. It's tough to form new habits when we've spent a lifetime doing things a certain way.

Here are the headlines:

1. Combine activities to make the most of your time
2. When talking to strangers, a few set phrases can be very useful for starting conversations
3. Turn it into a game - can you make a stranger laugh?
4. It's not about you. It's about the world.
5. Ask people questions.
6. Know why you're doing something. If you know why, you'll go through a bit of discomfort for a potential great result.
