If I were to tell you that the best dates to go on a diet in February were February 7 and 17, would that be meaningful information to you?

What if I told you that the information came from a well-respected source that’s been putting out this publication year after year since 1792?

Could this information be valuable to you, either as a consumer or a business? What if you’re selling health products, weight loss products, diet information, diets, etc.?

Let’s think about this for a minute. Before you undertake any project, isn’t there a psychological component to it? You’re going to start on a diet on a particular date, so you psyche yourself up for it. On that date, the diet starts. Before that date, you can eat the equivalent of three horses a day and it’s okay, because that date is magical. You know what I mean.

The same applies to quitting other things, like smoking.

The best dates in February to quit smoking are also February 7 and 17, by the way.

I can also tell you that the best dates to have dental work are February 4 and 5.

The best date to start projects is February 18. The best date to end a project is February 16.

Want to entertain some of your friends or business associates? The best dates are February 1, 2, and 28.

I can tell you the best dates to cut your hair to encourage growth and the best dates to discourage growth.

Wanna know the best dates to go camping? I’ve got ‘em.

We’re in an “idea motivator” blog. Am I motivating any ideas in your brains yet?

Just think what you could do with this information on your own sites, if you have outdoor sites, sites which entail projects (SEO projects?), dental sites, diet sites, wedding sites, baby shower sites, entertainment sites of all kinds, and on we go. Let your mind run wild as you think about your own site.

You could easily create a page of contact about this information with a little creativity.

I have this information for a whole year!

The source?

The Old Farmer’s Almanac, 2007

By the way, I found out about this book because my dad told my brother that the best dates in January to quit smoking were January 6 and 11. I asked him how he knew this, and he told me from the Farmer’s Almanac. I thought the Almanac was only about livestock and green beans! After he told me that valuable piece of information, I could hardly wait to get my hands on a copy.

Everything always points back to the Internet with me. Keep yours eyes and ears open to the world, and you’ll learn so much!
