3 Tips To Stay Motivated All Year Long.

Now that the new year festivities have come and gone, today I am going to give you three tips on how to stay motivated all year long. I've observed that a lot of people get an extra kick of motivational energy when January 1st rolls around.

How is Multitasking bad??

Multitasking. It is something that we have all done and we’ve been taught that it’s better to work on more than one thing at once to try to get things done faster. The reality of it is, working on more than one thing at once takes longer to get everything done and gives you the chance to fail at more than one thing. For example, right now as I am writing this I am listening to music at the same time, which seems like multitasking right?
