Fun Self Help ProgramsI added this page for the fun self help programs I've found that don't fit into any of the other catagories. Self improvement is never ending, but who says it can't be fun?
Free Handwriting AnalysisI've always been fascinated by handwriting analysis, so imagine how excited I was to run across this freebie! All you do is write a short paragraph and answer the questions about your handwriting style. They email back a report on your personality based upon your answers. I was amazed at how accurate it was! They say it's even possible to change certain characteristics by changing your handwriting. I tell you, I'll be a lot more aware of how I'm crossing my t's and dotting my i's!They also have an interesting newsletter you can sign up for and several great articles on the website. Be sure to look around after you finish your free handwriting analysis. I found a fun article about analyzing your sex drive based on your y's and g's and amused my girlfriends at a luncheon last week.  I'm continually amazed at how informative the newsletter is. The last one I received had a link to an audio segment that gave a
step-by-step breakdown of a handwriting analysis. In this particular case, someone was thinking of meeting someone she met on an online
dating site. She asked him to fax over a hand written note and had it analyzed. Really interesting stuff! I haven't taken any of the paid courses, but there's an email in my in box that's just too good to resist -- half price on the introductory course. I'll let you know how it is. I received my introductory course. I haven't had time to read through all of it, but the video was very informative. Bart is
entertaining and stresses how to be diplomatic when covering negative aspects of someone's personality. You can get the free handwriting analysis here (click on the Handwriting Self Test on the left): Handwriting Sherlock 
Ultimate Speed ReaderWith all the reading I have to do to keep up with this website, I decided I'd better improve my reading speed. I've been interested in the EyeQ infomercial, but didn't really want to spend that much money. Then I found the Ultimate Speed Reader. It's a program you load on your computer. It has several eye movement exercises and games, some timed readings in several formats and a tracking system. More than one person can use it, they just have to set up as a different user. It even measures your comprehension by multiple choice questions after each timed reading. So far, all the different reading assignments have been interesting.I've only been doing it about two weeks, usually less than 20 minutes each day. My rate has improved from 368 words per minute to 470. Not too bad. My real goal is to get out of that sub-vocalization I seem to be doing. There's an eye movement game at the end of the readings that I find particularly challenging called Eye Max. I've only made it to level two once. I obviously haven't played enough video games or I'm sure I'd be better at it. Here's the best part about the Ultimate Speed Reader; it's only $20 -- what a bargain! Here's the link where you can buy it: Ultimate Speed Reader > |
