Why It’s Vitally Important That You Have Life Goals

If you try and focus on one part of the spectrum, you’ll be weak on the other part. If you’re good at right, you’ll be weak at left. If you’re good at left, you’ll be weak at right. If you try to conquer both the right and left, you’ll be weak on both. We all […]

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 […]

February 1, 2014

Today is February 1, 2014. January wasn’t as fruitful as I intended it to be. I got distracted, didn’t complete my work, and failed to accomplish my goals.
