1. You look different today, why’s that?

If this is meant as a compliment to acknowledge something ‘new’ she’s done (like getting a haircut), then you may be able to pull it off in a teasing, mischievous fashion. 

But if it’s meant as a neg or a put-down, it likely isn’t a good idea. 

Whether she does or doesn’t look different, this question lacks tact and doesn’t really go anywhere meaningful. 

A better question to ask would be something like “I like that dress! Is it new?”

2. You’re looking tired today, did you not get a good night’s sleep?

Calling out a lady’s tired looks (even if she truly does look tired) may hurt her feelings and make her feel like you think she’s unattractive. 

Instead, consider an alternative question. “I’ve been looking forward to catching up with you. Tell me how your last few days have been.”

3. How old are you?

This actually isn’t a bad question to ask a woman who looks to be under 25-27, as long as she’s younger than you. 

But if you ask a 30-40+ year old this question, you may run the risk of making her feel a bit self-concious. It may be better to let this one sit until you know each other better. 

4. How many guys have you been with?

I’m not a huge fan of this question because asking it out of a very specific context can put you at risk of looking jealous and insecure—which is a massive turn-off and a low-value marker. 

There’s one caveat, however. If she asks you the question first, it’s fair game to reverse it. 

5. Is your sister attractive?

This is a risky question. For women, competing for the attention of a dating partner with a sibling feels far worse than competing with a stranger. 

It just hits closer to home, in every way imaginable. 

Whether you’re pre-commitment or post-commitment, stay out of this territory unless you’re willing to risk complete and total disaster.

How about a unique spin on things?

 

These 16 productivity secrets of successful people will make you reevaluate your approach to your home, work, and creative lives.

 

Learn from these highly successful people’s personal development skills, turn these skills into your daily habits and you’ll get closer to success.

 

It sounds counterproductive, doesn’t it?

 

Emptying your mind when you have so much to remember seems like you’re just begging to forget something. Instead, this gives you a clean slate so you’re not still thinking about last week’s tasks.

 

Clear your mind and then start thinking only about what you need to do immediately, and then today. Tasks that need to be accomplished later in the week can wait.

 

Some companies are scheduling “No Meeting Wednesdays,” which means, funnily enough, that no one can hold a meeting on a Wednesday. This gives workers a full day to work on their own tasks, without getting sidetracked by other duties or pointless meetings.This can work in your personal life too, for example if you need to restrict Facebook access or limit phone calls.

 

Don’t think every task is created equal! Some tasks aren’t as important as others, or might take less time.

 

Try to sort your tasks every day and see what can be done quickly and efficiently. Get these out of the way so you have more free time and brain power to focus on what is more important.

 

Many successful business leaders chop their time up into fifteen-minute intervals. This means they work on tasks for a quarter of an hour at a time, or schedule meetings for only fifteen minutes. It makes each hour seem four times as long, which leads to more productivity!

 

Truman Capote claimed he couldn’t think unless he was laying down. Proust did this as well, while Stravinsky would stand on his head!

 

What works for others may not work for you. Try to find a spot and position that is perfect for you to brainstorm or come up with ideas.

 

To Do lists can get overwhelming very quickly. Instead of making a never-ending list of everything you can think of that needs to be done, make daily lists that include just three to five things.Make sure they’re things that need to be done that day, so you don’t keep putting them off.
