For example, my list starts with: I will never be an overachiever. 2) For the entire day, refer to yourself in the third per- son: In addition to the obvi- ous bonus of making co- workers uncomfortable, it will allow you to see how many of your conversations revolve around yourself. If your name doesn’t come up much, you’re either not as self-centered as you thought, or quite possibly extremely boring.

And lastly, 5) Call your doctor just to tell them you’re feeling GREAT! Though this may prompt your doctor to call you in for additional testing, more importantly it will give you a sense of empowerment knowing you were able to make your own diagnosis even without a fancy schman- cy degree. Keep in mind that if you attempt all five of these in one day, there’s a good chance you may be admitted for additional testing even without your consent.
