  To be clear,  laziness is not the same as procrastination . Procrastination hides beneath it a bigger problem. That’s why it’s important to get to the bottom of WHY we procrastinate. What are some possible answers? We procrastinate because… …  We are used to being a straight A student , but we start taking a class that’s very difficult. …  We feel dread to start studying for an exam  because it seems like it will take hours, days, even weeks. …  We want to avoid having an unpleasant conversation  with someone, so there’s no point in initiating it. …  We’re not managing our budget properly  so we ignore the electricity bill and it keeps piling up for months. …  Our to-do list seems endless and we feel overwhelmed  by all of the tasks we want to complete. Ok, now it’s your turn. Take a pause from reading this answer. You’ll need a few minutes to do this exercise. Get a notebook or notepad, or open up a blank document on your laptop....

  Top bad habits to stop immediately  Stop pleasing everyone.  Follow your own convictions, NOT what others expect from you. Stop pampering yourself.  Growth is found OUTSIDE your comfort zone. Stop being distracted.  We are the most distracted generation in history. No FOCUS, no results. Stop relying on others.  Your mama won’t save you anymore. NOTHING is free in life.

  1. Learn a New Language It’s funny how learning a new language in high school felt like slow torture, but as an adult, the idea of it is very appealing. There are so many apps and online platforms out there dedicated to helping people learn languages in a fun and easy way and at their own pace (without any quizzes or tests to possibly flunk). Some even offer tutors from around the world, making any language in reach. Learning a new language can also make you more cognizant of your primary language, and inspire you to think more about what you’re saying. Taking time to think about how you communicate will only improve the way you do so. You’ll also sharpen your decision-making abilities because instead of making quick judgment calls, you’ll slow down and sit with your thoughts before making a decision. To learn a language is to have one more window from which to look at the world. –  Chinese Proverb   2. Martial Arts Martial arts like karate, judo, and jiu-jitsu are gre...

 This Will Change The Way You Do Business If you’re not familiar with Simon Sinek, you should drop what you’re doing to watch his famous TED Talk: “ How Great Leaders Inspire Action .” In his talk, he explores what made people like Martin Luther King Jr. and the Wright Brothers become the leaders they were. And his infamous TED Talk is just a sample of his work.

  Shawshank Redemption is a highly misunderstood film, at least by some. Let me explain. Meet Andy Dufresne. He gets convicted for a double murder, which he didn't commit, and lands in prison for a lifetime. He stays in prison for 19 years. Right from his initial days, he slowly starts digging a tunnel in his prison cell to escape. After 19 years, he becomes a free bird. The movie is not about this. It's about something else. When Andy comes to prison, he loses his reputation, family, job and above all his freedom. That's sufficient for a person to lose his mind and feel hate towards the world. But this guy was different. This movie is all about how he spends those 19 years in prison. He keeps his calm. He makes friends. He enjoys good moments. He creates some good moments. He writes a letter every week for 6 years to build a library inside the prison. Above all, he lives a happy life for 19 years with all his difficulties, problems and hurdles intact. He does all these thi...
