Have you ever made plans for later, remembered the plans, and procrastinated anyway?
Why does that happen?
I’ve already talked about the reason why we procrastinate, and within that reason is a small, but critical detail that many of us—myself included—fail to internalize and implement with regularity.

In order to take action, you must first terminate deliberation.

15 Posts For 6 Common Life Problems
I wasn’t sure what picture to use for this post, and then I saw these camels. Camels are good.
The typical format of a blog is to write short thoughts on single topics. Over time, posts accumulate and you end up with a sea of fragmented ideas. This is one reason why books are great—they’re thorough and focused dissections of a single topic.

In 5 months, Ihave more than 1,700 studentsin my video course,Mini Habit Mastery.
I took my fitness to the next level with consistent exercise; I’m even developing somewhat of a six pack now. I’m not magazine-ready or anything, but hey, when I flex my abs, there are...
