Big goals are overwhelming and usually paralyzing that can simply become obstacles rather than compelling destinations that pull one towards them.

Sometimes, we are also procrastinating from starting the habit formation itself. Continue reading

2 minutes to beat procrastination

productivityI thank you for clicking the link to read this article and one of the first excuses that you may have before even continuing reading it is that you will read this article later. You may be getting  that excuse  consciously or unconsciously, but I would try to write this article as short as possible, describing this awesome  way that maybe can cure this disease that sometimes affects all of us.
