5. Do A Small Part Of What Matters Most First Thing In Your Day

To feel like you can enjoy your rest time fully and without guilt, it is important to actually get what truly matters in the long run done each week. Do all tasks in the morning, starting with the hardest task and ending with the easiest task.

After you have completed all your tasks for the day first thing in the morning you have your whole day free knowing you have taken care of business already. Make it easy on yourself by breaking down that task into smaller steps and then focus on just the first one and get to it with an effective and focused mindset.

I Have To What I Want To

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

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!
