Have a Pre-Game Routine

Have a Pre-Game Routine

Train yourself to try and implement something you do every time before you start work. That may be having a coffee, taking a shower, or meditating. 

By doing this, you create a good habit in your brain. Allowing your brain to understand your pre-work routine as a cue to start preparing itself for work.

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.

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!

Sean Green

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

Jamyson Haug
