A lot of people requested this: a form to create your own “Standards” sheet. So I built it, and now WeHaveStandards.com has two sheets you can make, at no charge (for now)!
The idea is to print this out on Sunday afternoon, in anticipation of your upcoming week. And you “design” the behavior of your week. So, you can start with simple stuff, like “Up and dressed by 8am”. And if you do it, you get a check, otherwise, give yourself an X.
It’s really simple, but if you stick with it, you can drastically affect your behavior. It’s a slow process … but it has to be slow, and if you’re patient, you can bring about real change. If you want to ‘make a difference’ in the world, this is where you start.

“Overwhelmingly, models advertising pricier brands were judged to look glummer. This is probably down to signalling, noted researcher Timothy Ketelaar: smiling indicates eagerness to please, suggesting low status. If a Prada model isn’t smiling, she clearly doesn’t need to, implying high status. Brands that target less wealthy customers use smiling models, suggesting lower status, and thus affordability.” —

Talented performers belong to the industry long before it displays them; otherwise they would not be so eager to fit in. The attitude of the public, which ostensibly and actually favours the system of the culture industry, is a part of the system and not an excuse for it. If one branch of art follows the same formula as one with a very different medium and content; then the claim that this is done to satisfy the spontaneous wishes of the public is no more than hot air.” — Frankfurt School: Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer (1944): The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception (via kenyatta)
