You can’t be productive 24/7. And a big part of being productive is about getting rid of unproductive habits we all have.I always thought that learning stops when you get out of school.

Just learn new things. You’ll be more productive and more excited about life.

Why Disconnecting from the Internet

Are you an amateur or a pro? It’s Steven Pressfield’s famous analogy, from his book The War Of Art, for getting work done. The amateur only works when inspiration strikes. The pro sits down every day and puts in steady work. The key is steady. Not irregular or extreme.

Don't Know What to Do
