Do you find yourself rushing from one task to another? Do you often skip meals or grab ready-to-eat treats from the coffee shop on your way to work every day because you don’t have the time to sit and enjoy a nice tasty meal? 

If you find it seemingly impossible to live a peaceful life, then perhaps you have overcommitted yourself. Don’t fret just yet. You are not the only person who is suffering from handling too many things at the same time. 

While it may be tempting to work on several tasks at the same time, it could take its toll on your overall health. When you stop to look at life, you will see how it could be worth your while. 

It’s time to downsize, prioritize, and minimize. 

Though living a simpler life may seem like an impossible endeavor, pursuing it could help reduce the stress you experience each day. It could be the support that you need to live a happier and healthier life.

But how do you make it happen? How do...

How good are you at getting things done? While productivity and efficiency are not the keys to a happy life, they help you overcome anxiety and provide you with money so you can buy the things to live. Although money does not have to be the focus, it teaches you how to think clearly and balance your needs and wants. While finishing a task comes with lots of benefits, sometimes it is easier said than done. 

Here are some benefits you can reap when you finish your tasks efficiently and effectively: 

•  You accomplish more projects. 
•  You gain more self-confidence.
•  You learn how to waste less time. 
•  You spend less time procrastinating.
•  You become more trustworthy.
•  You start earning more. 
•  You may find an opportunity to start your own business.

The list of positive things that can happen when you get more stuff done goes on and on. When you see the benefits, you want to get even more things...

Decluttering is not just about cleaning up a messy house or room; it's also a way to achieve some peace in your life. The process of decluttering your life may seem difficult at first, especially if you're attached to your possessions. However, if you try doing it, you'll soon realize that you have more space in your home, you're less stressed, and you become mindful of what you bring into your life. 

What You Can Get from Decluttering

The decluttering process can be a magical experience for you because you get to have the chance to learn more about yourself. If you continue to declutter your life regularly, then you may even enjoy the personal growth that you can get out of it. This is because you will be confronting the way you hold on to things and how you give value to them. 

The mess that we see around the house is a representation of our habits, such as procrastination. So, for you to fully fix the mess, you have to change your practices as well. You need to be able...

How do you deal with the things that cause you discomfort or suffering? How do you overcome the painful experiences and move on with your life? You must have tried to escape the hurt by doing so many other things to make yourself feel happy. 

No one wants to experience discomfort, so we end up procrastinating. Instead of finding a solution to deal with the problem, we end up choosing what makes us feel comfortable at the moment. 

Though experts say mindfulness activities could help lessen the pain, most people still believe that by avoiding the problem, it will just disappear. But does it?

Because you don’t want to deal with the problem at present, you end up distracting yourself with whatever is available. You turn to technology or try to get lost in your thoughts about the past or your plans about the future. 

You have become so good at numbing yourself to the experience. It seems like the most logical thing to do. But what if there...

Do you often feel like you're losing control of your day? When you wake up, you make a plan. You want to get so much done, but as soon as you start, you find yourself distracted by all the things around you. Your focus is low, and you fail to identify what is genuinely a priority task. For some, it might just be another case of procrastination. 

How do you regain control of your time? There is no one-size-fits-all kind of strategy when it comes to increasing productivity. But there is one simple rule that can make it all work out. If you want to be more productive, then keep your list of things-to-do simple. You won't work well when there is a lot on your list.

When you simplify your list, you are prioritizing what should come first and what should come next. When you simplify, you are dedicating enough time for the things that should be considered essential. When you simplify, you allow yourself to make a plan that works well for you. 

What Are The...

Do you want to know how to change your life in 30 days? It all comes down to reevaluating your current habits and routines. Building good habits is everyone’s dream. But it is not as easy as it seems. When you choose to change for the better, you need to prepare yourself to stick to it for a long time. 

Thankfully, there are a few things you can do to let go of bad habits and build good habits. Old habits die hard, so they say. Therefore, when you commit to making that change, you have prepared yourself for the worst. 

But if you are willing to change, anything is possible. 

Whether it is adopting a habit you truly admire, changing bad habits, or building better ones, the best first step is acceptance. When you know that it won’t be easy, then you have prepared yourself for what’s to come. 

Tips To Building Better Habits

There are a handful of ways you can build better habits and get rid of bad ones. If you are looking at...

Do you have a problem with wanting to do everything? Although this may be possible, it is also something you must carefully consider.

You can do whatever you want to do. Nobody can stop you. But then again, should you do everything you want all at once? Isn’t focusing your attention on one thing at a time more effective than dividing your attention amongst several things? Is there anything you can do to help improve your focus? 

How To Achieve Complete Focus

What does it mean to achieve complete focus? It is not just about being able to do and finish everything you want. It is also about exploring the things that you can be. 

In a world where you can be anything, you should focus on becoming someone of whom you can be proud. Wanting to do a lot of things in a day can be fulfilling but exhausting at the same time. You may feel good when you can tick as many items in your to-do list for the day as you did; however, you are also drained of your...

How do you use the time you have in your hands? Time management strategies only become effective when you choose to commit to them. However, that can be easier said than done.

You can choose to be efficient, or you can choose to go through every day with disorganized thoughts. You could choose to focus your time on tasks that are considered high-value, or you could choose to waste your day being distracted and not completing anything. 

The choice is always yours. 

You are free to do what you want to do. Perhaps the only question left to ask is this: do you have control of your time?

How To Deal With Procrastination

In order to start accomplishing things, you have to eliminate everything that is keeping you from being productive. When it comes to effective time management, the goal should always be to put yourself in control of your time. How you want to spend it should always be a decision you make for yourself. 

What does it mean to have time for you? It takes...

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life? Are you experiencing work overload? Do you feel like if one more thing comes your way, you may fall apart? Modern life is rife with tasks that need to be done immediately, even more so than our parents. Technology has kept us connected to our work, social media has kept us glued to our screens, and everyday tasks keep us on our toes. While we can solve these issues, we can also find goodness in the disorder.  

Causes of Stress at Work and Home

 First, we must identify why we are overwhelmed. This not an exhaustive list, but definitely some of the most common causes. If your particular issue isn’t listed, the solutions, later on, will more than likely help you anyway.

Overworking

Studies show that those who are overworking at their vocation or within their homes are at a higher risk for heart attack, heart disease, and general misery. Signs of overwork can show up in several different ways such as anxiety, depression, decreased...

Are you holding yourself back from doing meaningful work because of your fears? Fear, apprehension, and uncertainty can stop you from pursuing the things you really want. Maybe you're afraid to stand out. It's possible you're scared of failure. You may be fearful that if you make a decision, you may make the wrong ones, and you'll end up regretting them. 

We all feel this way at some point in our lives. Most of the time, we're just afraid that we're never going to be good enough. Even if we want to push ourselves out of our comfort zone so we can pursue meaningful work, we find ourselves not being able to take another step towards the direction that we want to pursue. 

When we're afraid, we tend to distract ourselves or procrastinate. We hide behind the things that bring us comfort like playing games, going shopping, watching movies, indulging in social media, or eating junk food. And then at the end of the day, we would feel terrible for failing to do...
