Reading Time: 3 minutes“Maybe you don’t need to find more energy. Maybe you just need to find a dream that makes you actually want to get up in the morning.” We live in a culture obsessed with productivity hacks, energy drinks, and hustle culture. Wake up at 5am.

Reading Time: 3 minutesThere will come a day when the clock runs out. Not on a meeting. Not on your to-do list. Not on the reminder you set to “get serious next week.” I’m talking about the real clock—your time, your shot, your life.

Reading Time: 12 minutes“Everything in moderation, including moderation.” Excuse me while I empty my bowels into the nearest toilet. Please understand, it’s not that I disagree with the sentiment – nothing could be further from the truth…
Reading Time: 8 minutesWhat is motivation, anyway? Simply put, motivation is your desire to do something. “It’s the sense of willingness that exists on a spectrum – from zero interest to a burning desire to take action.” Wow, that was (too) easy. I don’t care…
Reading Time: 8 minutesIf it’s important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

Humans have many ways to rationalize our lack of discipline or laziness…
