Yes, I know, it really is like this: we’re nervous, stressed, we’re in trouble. What we were troubled before, now there had to come this pandemic with its cohort of nefarious consequences… It is terrible that we are deprived of the freedom to decide our own actions. Where is the city’s mobilizing trepidation and especially…
Here is a true story that have just happened to a good friend of mine… The man goes shopping for Easter at the market. It was way past 11 a. m. a but he had enough until 1 o’clock… He walks by the bank and make a cash withdrawal from the ATM to keep him…
The stronger we resist, the harder it is to change what we do not agree! In English it is said shorter and rather clearer: What you resist will persist! When we see something that does not serve the purpose – especially at us but around us as well – we either pretend that we do…

Adam Grant surprises us with a fresh perspective towards procrastination. In a nutshell: “Procrastination is a vice when it comes to productivity but it can be a virtue for creativity”. If you add this to the ideas from an older article of mine you might get more clarity onto this subject.
