Hello there, This week I published three new articles that you might want to check out: Moulding Habits and the Loop on forming new habits and eliminating the ones that form along the way.

These are written by the writers who compile their major life lessons every year on their birthday for reflection. I have decided that I’ll do it for myself too. Many people have done it every year consistently andContinue reading “Lessons from Year 15”
