Whereby we tune into our spiritual power and re-create our life circumstances by changing our mental attitude and the choices we make. We don't…

Life is holistic. Every aspect influences every other. Don’t sacrifice yourself productivity’s altar. Instead, embrace these health and productivity tips.

So many people measure their days by how many hours they worked. I don’t. For me, it’s irrelevant how many hours I put in. What matters is what came out of me during the time I worked. After all, on a good day, I can do in four hours what I can’t even finish on a bad day (writing is like that).
