If You’re Not Getting Anything Done, Leave!

Every morning I open the laptop to get my work done. Before I open the laptop, I have specific tasks set up in my mind. But after I open the laptop, I get easily distracted. I either open my e-mail client or surf Facebook. If not, I just play around the files in the name of […]

The Urge: Do What You’re Supposed To Do Instead of What You Want To Do

I just finished writing a long blog post. Before writing the post, I felt like checking blog stats, e-mail and all. But Instead, I stopped and went back to write. And now, I’m happy that I wrote it. I didn’t feel like writing this either. I just opened up a text editor and started writing. […]

2014 : How to Set Goals

It’s so easy to create list of goals you want to accomplish. I woke up today morning and brainstormed goals that I can set for 2014. I kept writing. Within 5 minutes, I had list of more than 15 goals. Honestly, it would be hard to tackle even 4 goals from there. It seems that […]

Why You are Less Likely to Achieve Your New Years Resolution

I’m usually an advocate of not keeping any new years resolution. It’s because we are less likely to accomplish any goals when we keep a specific date to start.

How to Not Fall Short on Your Goals

I resisted eating sweets and sugar for a long time. I was even comfortable avoiding it. But today, I ate lots of sweets. Today morning I had lots of sweets in my kitchen. I went there, couldn’t resist, just ate it up like crazy. Now that I’ve ate it, I feel bad. I ate everything […]

When You Go Downhill on Your Goals

I used to write 750 words everyday. I slowly came down to 500. And then I didn’t write for some days. I then wrote again but couldn’t reach 750 words. I even struggled to reach 500 words. It’s funny, but at first, I started with 1000 words in mind. I had read ‘On Writing‘, a […]
