To keep my creative muscles in shape, I write 10 bad ideas every day. Here’s today’s list:

#1. Stress weakens your immune system. A lesson from Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman.

#2. Use the XYZ approach when discussing with your partner or at work.

#3. Reading regulates your nervous system.

#4. To remember what you read, ask “What am I trying to achieve?”

#5. Tsundoku is the Japanese word for a pile of unread books.

#6. In a book date, you take your date to a bookstore, discuss about the books you both have read, then each one buys a book the other person will like.

#7. Ban the word Discover from your copy.

#8. Burnout isn’t the same as boreout. The first is from overwork and the last one from underwork. Technically, I didn’t burned out, but bored out.
