You move to a new city and you don’t know where the nearest grocery store is.
You don’t beat yourself up — it’s normal. You just use Google Maps to find it.
After you’ve been there several times, it’s highly likely that you won’t need to use Google Maps.

Many writers these days publish their earnings to inspire others of what’s possible. That gives you the impression that you are also able to do that in the first article that you write.
You write the first draft and hit publish. You expect a week or two and see that you barely have any readers for your article. Then, you try it a second time and expect that this time, it will be different.
You spend a lot more time polishing the format, adding headers and great pictures. Then, this article also turns out to capture the attention of very few readers.
Then you think of quitting.

I have published more than 270 articles in this blog now and I still have difficulties getting started, despite the fact that I may have a particular topic that I want to write about, or that I have already made a decision to start writing. I just find other things that I could be spending my time on and this makes me procrastinate and delay starting. However, once I get started, I am more likely to follow through and finish writing the article, as I have gained some momentum and want to go further and finish it. A friend of mine has informed me about a tool that I have used to get started for writing a few articles that I have already published here called TheMostDangerousWritingApp.
Probably most of us have been in a situation in which we have sent an email that we did not want to send. We might have not finished formatting, or double checking it before the actual sending process, but we hit the Send button. Most of the times, it can be unintentionally, and as a result, we may write one or two PS follow-ups as replies to that email, adding or sending clarifications about certain things that have been mentioned in that email. During this week, I learned a small trick from a friend of mine that can help you in such occasions. Continue reading

We all have our difficult times, when we feel not that good. These problems tend to take a lot of our attention that we suddenly forget all the other great opportunities that we possess. Our head is mostly filled with these dark opinions about how unfortunate we are and then we try to recall other periods in our lives when we were going through tough times too. It is difficult to become aware that these problems are usually temporary and that a way to overcome them is most definitely nearby. Continue reading

In the end of October, I wrote an article publicly declaring that I will start a new 30 day challenge of journaling every single day. Fortunately, it went really well. I journaled every single day for a month and now I am planning to continue this habit of journaling. Here I am going to tell you how did I manage to pull this off on a regular basis.
This is my second 30 day challenge that I announced publicly in my blog. Previously, during the first half of this year, I wrote that I wanted to do a workout session every day for a month, but I was not consistent during that time. After learning a few lessons the hard way going through my previous challenge, I decided to implement them during this new one. Continue reading
Journaling can help an individual record the events that have happened in life, collect ideas, solve problems and make decisions. It has been mentioned repeatedly from a lot of authors of self-help books and articles as a very powerful tool for one’s change. One great article that I have read today has made me consider to make journaling as a daily routine. To help me with that, I am starting a new 30 day challenge, starting from tomorrow.

A few years ago a friend of mine told me that when he is trying to make an important decision, rather than just thinking about it, he used a clipped piece of paper for it. He wrote down there what where his current thoughts, possible approaches and alternatives towards the end. According to him, this is a very beneficial way of making decisions, as it tends to be a rational one and which is also based on realistic circumstances and surprising obstacles, which are often forgotten when only thinking about them.

If you are like me, you already have been hearing a lot of reasons that were mentioned to convince you to have goals, because you should have at least something to aim at, something can inspire you to take action. You do not simply enter in your car and drive 10 kilometers without having any idea about the destination that you are going to. Similarly, this should also serve as a reminder about the importance of having goals that are clear and that are also specifically defined, so that you know whether you achieved them or not.
