Sorry, what was your name again?
Maybe you have been repeating this sentence several times in the past, or at least a paraphrase of it, because you did not remember a person’s name that you have met before. In fact, it is probably not your memory problem that you are not remembering that name. By definition, remembering means being able to recall the information that you already know. The time that you met that person before might have been your first occasion that you saw each other, and at that particular moment your focus might have been oriented elsewhere and not in even listening to his/her name. Instead, it is probably because you were trying to think about the things that you are going to say and the facts that you want to mention about yourself that would best represent yourself and make a good impression.

We often slip off our goals and commitments and the lack of willpower is not the only causer. It is also because we forget about them at all. Fortunately, if we are able to remind ourselves about the new behavior, or a goal that we are after, then it is more likely that we will be able to achieve that new type of behavior, or that particular goal. Frankly, our environment can serve as a good and proper reminder in this regard. Continue reading
We are products of our own behaviors, that we consciously or unconsciously do, also known as habits and the results that we have in our lives are mostly the outcomes of them. According to a study published by Duke University in 2006, we spend more than 40 percent of our time engaged in habitual actions that we do not give a second thought about. Thus, it is very important to improve our habits, if we want to get things that we have not achieved until now. Continue reading
Richard Feynman was a Nobel Prize winner in Physics who used a method of learning complex things that seems very obvious and immediately makes sense that it is easy, but in fact only a few people use it. I have already mentioned it in a previous blog post as a way of learning and preparing for your exams, and I will not focus on that, but I have had an insight about the way and the possibilities of using this technique as a means of beating procrastination.

A couple of days ago, a person that I know told me something that surprised me and once again inspired me to believe about the tremendous impact that little acts can have. Only during the year 2015, he has read around 20-30 books despite having a full time job and also having family responsibilities and having to travel about 2 hours each day to go and come back from the workplace.

If you are like me, it is possible that you have been stressing out about a certain event that was about to happen and have been really scared about the possible outcomes that it could have ended up with, only to find out that it was not at all like you were expecting. That thing that was looking very scary in the first place, ended up becoming a valuable experience that did not make us become dived into sweats and break our relationships. It was simply another event that has taught us the importance of paying attention to our work and become more responsible in terms of the quality and the dedication that we devote to our jobs.

It is easy for you to get inspired once from a movie and go and do fifty push-ups without stopping, but then months pass by and you do not do even a single push-up. It is easy for you to write a great blog article because of the lessons that you have learned from a great book that you have read recently, but then you stop writing and forget that you have a blog at all. It is easy for you to get up early and start working on your most important tasks once a year and then you get back to your normal procrastination mode of not doing your tasks until it becomes almost too late.
