How To Control Your Life With The 5 Second Rule.

5, 4, 3, 2… 1

That text that you are terrified to send, it was just sent.

That email to your teacher, boss, coach, etc. is now in their inbox.

How does it work? Essentially, when you start counting you allow yourself to stop thinking. You become temporarily consumed in the count and then the moment you reach 1. You have an amazing power to just press the send button, to throw your phone away, to start studying, to get out of bed.

The power is endless.

So try, right here, right now. When you finish counting down from 5, throw your phone away and do something that will make you happy.

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.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Jamyson Haug

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

Giovanna Scalzone

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!
