A lot of people hope for a better future just because that seems to be giving them a relief of the current despair in which they might be in, despite the fact that they are not currently doing anything that would turn that into reality. Continue reading

The granddaddy of all procrastinators is having excuses. They are really good at finding excuses that might sound reasonable in the first sight. “I do not have time”, “I am not ready yet”, “I am busy”. However, these are usually attempts to deal and work on the things that are truly important and uncomfortable. Continue reading
Two weeks ago I wrote an article about the ways that can help you remember more of the things that you have or want to by getting these tips directly from the people that are very good at remembering different things. One of them, specifically, Nelson Dellis said in the same interview, that was mentioned in that article, four tips that can help your brain and your mental capacity against the impact of getting old.

You might have seen how a fly tries to go outside countless times but does not realize that it is being prevented from an invisible obstacle that is in front of it. It sounds like a nice story, but we humans as we tend to consider ourselves superior creatures, usually fall into the same traps. We do not ponder and reflect about the obstacles that are stopping us, but carelessly try to use the same technique to “go outside”. Continue reading
Two days ago, one of my tooth was hurting and the dentist was not at the medical ordinance. I was trying to be patient and focus on other things around me just to fade the attention to the pain that I was having, but I suddenly came to realize that a few negative thoughts were popping in my head. While I was sitting next to my family, they were watching TV and not paying attention to me. They tried to help me by giving me a pill that is supposed to soften the pain, but it was not working as fast as I wish it had. Their lack of focus to my pain was suggesting me that they have some disordered priorities: TV is more important to them than me. Continue reading
Employees are the ones that bring success to the companies they work in and are the most valuable asset. As a result of this, companies try to increase their productivity by giving them better conditions and better payments and similar incentives that are intended to make their employees work and life more enjoyable and a fulfilling experience. However, people do not do a job at a certain company just for the money, as Senior Vice President of Google, Laszlo Bock said in an interview. Continue reading
I have not identified myself as a person who remembers things that I am supposed to recall later, but I do not want to stay with that type of identity for the rest of my life. Thankfully, I have stumbled upon two interviews from Grandmasters of Memory that do not claim to have any special inborn skills of memorization, but rather have been training and getting very good at it. What you are about to read is an article with the tips that they recommend to other people that can profoundly improve your ability to remember things. Continue reading
A lot of lectures and talks are accompanied with presentations in which a lot of information is put in every slide of that presentation. This makes it difficult for a person in the audience to read it and also prevents that person from the actual listening of the lecture that is being given. In other words, the audience is multitasking during your talk: trying to read your slides and simultaneously listening your lecture, but they most probably will not learn and gain information as much as you might have wished.

A lot of things happen in our lives and only a few of them start to shape our opinions and the story we tell about ourselves. We have been late for a meeting or for work, and we try to identify ourselves as people who are always late. We have been finishing our projects and our homework only a few hours before the deadline and as a consequence of that, we identify ourselves as procrastinators. Additionally, we tend to start to get stressed out because of a difficult project that is in the future and because one of your colleagues will take a week off of work. These type of events are probably going to steal you the chance of enjoying the present. Continue reading
