Too Many Things That You Want to Do?
If you’re anything like me, there are a lot of things that you’d like to do, but somehow you never have enough time to actually do them. Perhaps you want to learn something new, or you want to start a new projects.
I used to have the same problem, and even though I’ve not yet figured out how to do everything I want, I’m pretty happy with the system I’m currently using…. Read more
The Smart Way to Implement Habits
Editor note: This is a guest post from Eduard Ezeanu. During our lifetimes, we develop hundreds of habits. If you think about it, stuff like talking, walking, tying your shoes and riding your bicycle are all habits. They are all automatic patterns of thinking and acting which you implemented at a certain point, and now you do them naturally. Beyond the age of 7, it seems that implementing habits gets… Read more
The Quick Fix Does Exist
There are two kind of people in the world, those with patience, and those without it. I’m part of the second group, and of course sometimes I wish I’d be more in the first one. My actions are mostly driven by curiosity, and curiosity is perhaps the biggest motivator for me. Curiosity itself isn’t bad, on the contrary it’s a great way to discover and learn new things. It’s only when you’re trying to… Read more
How Much Do You Value Your Time?
Since I started writing about personal development, I always heard from other bloggers and friends that having a posting schedule is the best way to keep readers visiting your website. The idea is that if you regularly post 3 times per week always on the same days, people would know when to expect new posts and thus they’d return to your website regularly. I knew that this was not true based on my… Read more
What Do You Want To Do in Your Life?
A reader asked:
All what I want to do in life is to become an entrepreneur because I love to create new and great things, but I don’t have a clue in what I’m going to entrepreneur. I Don’t know if it will be a service or product company, for instance. In this area I’m in complete darkness (I think someone need to discover what he loves to make great things). So what do you think about that? My idea is making a backpacking and travel in Europe for some months to open my mind.
How I Increased My Productivity By Simply Going Outside
I just learned the hard way how trying to work inside your home during summer is the best way for getting nothing done. Seriously, I literally spent two hours this morning trying to do something, but my brain was in a permanent state of pain and I couldn’t get anything done. And it wasn’t a problem of motivation, indeed I knew exactly what I had to do, and I wanted to do it, but I just couldn’t concentrate… Read more
4 Tools For Working Remotely
Following my last week post on working from home vs working from the office, today I’m gonna write about the tools I use for working remotely.
Even tough there’s a lot of software and web applications available for working remotely, the reality is that you only need a few of them to keep track with your team, and in this post I’m only going to talk about the most important ones…. Read more
Working From Home vs Working From The Office
Making the choice of working from home or from the office is not obvious and requires some considerations. There are many pros and cons for each option, and you have to evaluate them before making the decision (or asking your boss permission to work from home). I’ve been working both remotely and on site for quite some time, and I have to say that while I am working from home now, there was times where working from an office was a better option…. Read more
Productivity Experiment: 30 Days Internet Diet
It’s time to do another 30 days challenge, this time with a focus on productivity. For the next 30 days I will not be allowed to access internet before 9 am and after 8pm. This should give me enough freedom in the morning (I wake up at 5 most days), but will prevent me from procrastinating in the evening. I figured that internet is perhaps the biggest obstacle in my productivity, and I want to fix… Read more
Productivity Tip: Use a Password Manager
If you spend any amount of time online, chances are that you have passwords to remember. Logging into your bank account requires a password, posting into a forum or facebook requires an account which in turn requires a password, and so on. At any given time your mind has to keep track of between five and ten different passwords on average. This can be a source of frustration. You probably know that… Read more
