Don't let people waste your time and energy



If anyone asked me what is most important before a few years, I would have different answers than now. I did not appreciate my time and peace enough. I let in my life people who did not deserve it. After I cut it off, I realized how much clean space I have for others who deserve that spot.
How can you know who is the right friend for you, and who is not? It sounds so simple, but it is not. You can’t know someone at first sight. Everyone tries to represent in the best light, hiding flaws like snakes are hiding legs. When you know the person better, some things swim out on the surface and the previous diamond loses its shine. That is why is not good to glorify people, they will screw you.
How do you know that a person wastes your time and energy?
A person who talks only about herself. I was there, this happened to me, that guy adores me, etc.
A person who talks with underestimation about your problems. Oh, that is nothing. I survived worse than that.
A person who doesn’t know to listen. You know that when a person never has commented about your story.
I told you personally. These are people who are happy when you have problems because they can give you I told you “pieces of advice.
A person who can’t celebrate your happiness.  That person will always find failures in your job, partner, hobby.
A person is jealous of your success.
A person who ignores you. You have unanswered emails, messages, phone calls because a person did not find time for you. 
It is better to have an open enemy than a fake friend. If someone dislikes you honestly, you know what to expect. When a fake friend is in connection with you, you will walk on the eggs. About this, I can’t talk to her. About this, neither. 
If you have experience with people who waste your time and energy, you are free to comment.

Swapping books - a devil's deal

  "I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...
