"50 Things You Need to Give Up Now". I've decided to post these 50 things. Not all at once. It's a little overwhelming. If I post 10 a day, I think it's easier to try and achieve giving up these things or at least bringing them to your attention.

These are things that I find myself thinking about often and trying to improve upon. 1. Give up beating around the bush. – Say what you mean and mean what you say.  Communicate effectively.2.
