focus on more normal life things

I am trying to focus on these things these days:

• reliability
  
• productivity (this is more used for work-related purposes, but I mean in a general sense -- like being productive means completing more tasks that I want to do, regardless of whether they are related to business or pleasure)
  
• being happy -- finding how can I get a smile on my face in whatever I do (see my recent entry in Thought Blog --
  
• planning -- such that everybody turns out to be happy and that it is also convenient to all of them
  
• fulfilling duties
  
• getting context in social situations (usually i feel completely out of context)
  
• getting some ego, and some self respect, since these are helpful for getting motivated to manage ourselves well, which in turn makes other people better with you.
