11 Goal Hacks: How to Achieve Anything Goal-setting research on fantasising, visualisation, goal commitment, procrastination, the dark side of goal-setting and more… We’re all familiar with the nuts and bolts of goal-setting. We should set specific, challenging goals, use rewards, record progress and make public commitments (if you’re not familiar with these then check out this article on how to reach life goals). So how come we still fail? This psychological research suggests why and what mindsets should help us reach our goals. 1. The biggest enemy of any goal is excessive positive fantasising. 2. The reason we don’t achieve our goals is lack of commitment. One powerful psychological technique to increase commitment is mental contrasting. 3. You can use the Zeigarnik effect to drag you on towards your goal. What the Zeigarnik effect teaches is that one weapon for beating procrastination is starting somewhere…anywhere. 4. 5. When we miss our target, we can fall foul of the what-the-hell-effect. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
Mobile Studio Architects creates giant flip-books in the forest London-based Mobile Studio Architects has collaborated with students at a US summer camp to create a series of oversized flip-books that depict fictional forest tales. Titled Universal Play Machine, the project utilises the traditional flip-book animation technique but on a much larger scale. Mobile Studio Architects worked with Beam Camp in the forests of New Hampshire to realise the project. "Essentially an oversized flip-book, the system scales up the split-flap display technology first used in airports and train-stations across the world," said Mobile Studio Architects. Hidden away in the forests of the camp, the machines encourage the students to explore the surrounding wilderness while also acting as creative stimuli. The pages of the books are protected within rectangular metal frames and are fitted on rotating mechanisms powered by handles on the side. The devices were constructed through a collaboration between Mobile Studio Architects, craftspeople and all 89 campers.

Edgar Artis - Accueil How to see the best meteor showers of 2012: Tools, tips and save the dates (PhysOrg.com) -- Whether you're watching from a downtown area or the dark countryside, here are some tips to help you enjoy these celestial shows of shooting stars. Those streaks of light are really caused by tiny specks of comet-stuff hitting Earth's atmosphere at very high speed and disintegrating in flashes of light. First a word about the moon - it is not the meteor watcher's friend. The best thing you can do to maximize the number of meteors you'll see is to get as far away from urban light pollution as possible and find a location with a clear, unclouded view of the night sky. The meteors will always travel in a path away from the constellation for which the shower is named. Whether viewing from your front porch or a mountaintop, be sure to dress for success. Next, bring something comfortable on which to sit or lie down. Lastly, put away the telescope or binoculars. These meteor showers provide casual meteor observers with the most bang for their buck.

Matthew Shlian | The Ghostly Store Matthew Shlian works within the increasingly nebulous space between art and engineering. As a paper engineer, Shlian's work is rooted in print media, book arts, and commercial design, though he frequently finds himself collaborating with a cadre of scientists and researchers who are just now recognizing the practical connections between paper folding and folding at microscopic and nanoscopic scales. An MFA graduate of Cranbrook Academy, Shlian divides his time between teaching at the University of Michigan, mocking up new-fangled packaging options for billion dollar blue-chips, and creating some of the most inspiring paper art around. Shlian began collaborating with Ghostly in early 2011 with The Process Series, a collection rooted in basic geometry and inspired by electronic music. Of his work, he writes: "In my studio I am a collaborator, explorer and inventor.
