If you didn’t procrastinate, you’d be one of the most powerful people in the world. You’d utilize your time effectively and get a lot of things done each day. Over time, that’s an incredibly powerful way to live.

Progress is the best motivator. Even if you need to lose 100 pounds, it’s pretty exciting to see that you’ve lost 10 pounds. However, progress isn’t always apparent. Some things are very subjective unless you take the time to measure them. Some goals can take a long time to accomplish. If you only measure yourself by whether or not you’ve achieved the goal, you’re going to be displeased for months or even years. You’re also likely to lose interest. Measuring your progress makes long-term goals much more possible.

Remote work is quickly becoming the new normal for modern companies. In a world where many offices were forced to shut down during the 2020 pandemic, team leaders discovered something. Remote and hybrid working seems to be effective at improving productivity.

Remote staff members also demand fewer overheads and don’t require massive real estate
investments. Unfortunately, there’s a downside to the remote working trend.

When his mom picked him up, he jumped in the car and excitedly said, "Let's hurry and get home so I can tell Jesus how I put my face in the water."
His mom grinned and responded, "Let's tell him right now."

If your health could be better, and you’re becoming frustrated with your conventional doctor, you might want to consider naturopathy. Naturopaths are degreed doctors of naturopathic medicine. Naturopaths rely on diet, exercise, and other non-invasive techniques to optimize your health. You can’t get better results unless you change your approach.

Your true self is the part of you that is constant. It transcends your body, emotions, and experiences.
How would you describe yourself? You might declare that you are Susan, the wife of Bob, a pharmaceutical sales rep, and have Scottish ancestry. However, if you had been named Beth, married a guy named Steve, worked as a
nurse, and had Irish ancestors, you would still be the same person you are now. Your life and experiences might be different, but you would still be fundamentally the same person.
