If value and worth is measure solely by productivity, it’s time for a new yardstick. — As a self-proclaimed workaholic who measures my value almost purely on productivity, I tend to be incredibly hard on myself if I’m not getting enough done, and on others who I feel aren’t catching up fast enough or are getting in the way of my own progress. That’s an awful…

It takes at least three weeks to build a habit. With 2019 around the corner, here’s how to hit the ground running. Hands up if you’ve ever promised yourself to quit smoking, set a budget (and actually stick to it), hit the gym, or spend more time with family and friends. Damn. Writing that was tough with both hands in the air. We’ve all set our New Year’s Resolutions with the best…

And also like everybody else, those attempts were easily cut short by a birthday, holiday, or some random Thursday that I definitely had to get drunk for…

Thank god it’s Monday. We’ve heard it before: we spend a third of our life working, so why spend it doing something you don’t care about? Why not do more of what you love? Why spend your time doing something you don’t truly care about? I get it. We all…

I’m guilty of it, and so are you. Time and time again, I find myself getting ready to go somewhere, where quite frankly, I don’t want to be. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not anti-social, and I’m no recluse. But sometimes, I just love not doing a damn thing. Leading…
