5 Things I've Learned About Motivation

We all struggle with motivation, and here are a few things I've learned from that struggle.

Do you struggle with motivation? I do sometimes. Most people do.

It's a tricky thing, I'd say. Sometimes it's available in abundance that you end up doing a week's work in advance, and sometimes you're looking for reasons to get out of the bed.

Last year I decided to add a few new habits, and boy did I struggle! I ended up learning a few things about motivation during this whole experience. It's quite interesting to me because if you know the factors that affect motivation, you can manipulate yourself to stay motivated a little more.

And from my experience, here are the things that affects motivation the most:

Vertical Vs Horizontal Breathing: Did You Know You're Breathing Incorrectly?

Are You Breathing Correctly?

Are you breathing right now? Well, of course you are! But what if I tell you that you're breathing wrong?

 I know what you're thinking: "What does that even mean? "Breathing wrong?" 

How is it even possible. You've been breathing since the time you were born, so how can someone breathe wrong. It's one of the innate things hardwired in our brain by birth, so how can someone breathe wrong?

All of them are valid thoughts, but still I would say that you are breathing wrong, and you have been breathing wrong most of your life.

So, what exactly do I mean by that? Lets explore this issue in this post.

The Best Method to Tackle Procrastination: The POMODORO Technique

If procrastination is your best friend then you should read this post. Why you ask? Because today we're going to discuss a productivity technique that is one of the best techniques to cut procrastination and be all productive!

The Pomodoro technique was discovered by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s when he was a university student himself. The technique is named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer he used back then (Pomodoro= Tomato in Italian).

Ever since its discovery, this method has been adopted by millions of people, and they all swear by its effectiveness. So do I. It is effective. How much? Well, that depends from person to person. But before you start judging whether it's effective or not, have a look into what pomodoro method exactly is.

5 Simple Ways To Save Time Everyday

You can't increase the length of your day, but you sure can create some spaces in your day by changing some of your habits.

Do you ever feel like 24 hours are not enough? If you are like me then maybe you do. At least occasionally.

The older you get, the shorter the days seem because there's always an increase in responsibility requiring you to devote more time.

The work never ends! And so balancing personal and professional life becomes a great challenge because of lack of time.

You want to build some healthy habits like exercising, reading or preparing your own meals, but you're always running late, leaving no time for any extra-curriculum.

But here's what I believe: life should be more than just our work. When you wake up every morning you should not think only about what you're going to do at work. You should also think about how you can be a little better than you were yesterday, in every aspect of your life. But again, who has time, right?

Wrong!
