1. Just start! Take small steps

1. Just start! Take small steps

Most of the time, just getting started is the hardest part. Therefore make the effort to just do one tiny action.

Lets say you have been putting off something. Tell yourself that you will do it for 5 minutes. Doing this will bring you in momentum & inculcate the motivation to continue.

Do the thing that matters most at the beginning of the day. It will set you in a good tone for the day.

This is much better than starting your day with social media which can put you in that unmotivated state.

2. Focus on the "Why"

List the pros and cons of you remaining in this lazy state. In your list try to answer some simple questions like:

  • What would your life be like if you continue on the path you are on?
  • How will it effect you and the people around you?
  • How will your life look in the future if you improve your habits and be consistent with this change?

Having that “why” behind what you are doing gives you the motivation to keep improving.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

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!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
