Procrastination and relying on stress
Anyone who regularly procrastinates will tell you that they want to do the thing but they just keep putting it off.

We tell ourselves we'll start … Continue reading Procrastination and relying on stress
Slow progress
There's a popular saying that goes 'Slow progress is better than no progress'. I totally agree. What we often do is rush because we want progress to be quick.

Checking in with your 2020 new years resolutions
We are currently in the period where your new years resolutions may have fallen away and you're now back to your normal (pre new years resolution) self. It's a common thing, it happens to everyone at some point, I'm certain.

Great in theory
The reality of some ideas, projects and plans is that they are only great in theory. When some things get brought to life they crumble and fall.
