Together to learn better

People can rarely meet but we experience their connection when we see them together. And people can meet every single day but live in deep isolation from each other. Recently, I witnessed the later and felt sad. Being together can be an opportunity for reciprocal...

Beating procrastination is not easy, but possible and ridiculously simple. We are creatures of habits and if we want to beat procrastination, creating a habit is a powerful and effective choice. The problem is the reply I hear more often – ” I don’t have...
