Common Sense Tactic For Obviating Distractions

We live in a society that is addicted to distractions. The average attention span as at today is 8.23 seconds - which is less than a Goldfish's (9 seconds).

Most of this distraction is fueled by social media and smartphones.
What does this have to do with you as a purpose-driven individual?
A LOT.

Our present social existence is in a constant flow of distraction. And you can hardly live life on your own terms in the midst of distractions.

You'll also find more and more people connected virtually,
but only helping one another to lose focus and be wasteful in time and intellectual resources.

Lack of focus and low productivity do not go without negative consequences.
I can only hope that you take this simple advice to heart, not only to avert the negative consequences of being susceptible to distractions but also to get the edge in life.

THIS is your opportunity to stand out from the crowd. Whatever the MAJORITY is doing, do the opposite.

Have an amazing day!

I HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR, BUT FEAR ITSELF This is the belief that I repeat to myself every time I want to do something that scares me. This one is extremely liberating once you internalize it. What would you do wit...

Ignite Your Creativity

Your life is like an ongoing work of art. The canvas of your life begins with your family; and your experiences, setbacks, and triumphs play a part in forming who you become. And as long as you live, your life will continue to be a form of artistic creation. Creativity is often narrowly defined by creative works, such as books, paintings, and music. But creativity encompasses so much more than the works we create. Living a creative life also involves the thought, energy, and time we devote to problem-solving and creating the life we’ve been given to live. So stop delineating creativity only along aesthetic lines. Get out of your comfort zone and find solution to problems. Reflect on ways of adding value to human existence. Stop complaining about issues and start innovating. Develop new ideas. Implement new processes. Devise new methods of doing things or making things work. When you get stuck, get out of your work space and go for a walk. Leverage synergy where practicable. Your crea...
