We don't learn about emotion

How poor emotion management sabotages our productivity
A few observations about emotion management and productivity:
- Mindlessness or a lack of self-awareness is always Enemy Number 1.
- The mind will always resist challenging work. It doesn’t mean something’s wrong.
- Procrastination provides a quick relief from the uncomfortable emotion generated by critical self-talk.
- Procrastination is a form of impatience that says if you’re not succeeding right away that means it’s hopeless.
- Procrastination isn't a disease or a character flaw, it is a natural answer of our mind as a result of doing challenging work.

How to improve your emotion management skills
- Pay attention to your self-talk: learn to identify your self-talk and try to suppress it.
- Improve your emotional vocabulary: we typically lack a vocabulary for thinking about our emotional states. By expanding it, we can become more self-aware and improve our way of managing emotions.
- Practice mindfulness: train your attention in order to better navigate difficult thoughts and feelings.
- Work with a therapist or coach: try to talk to a specialist in order to get support from an expert in the field.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
