2022-04-18 09:00:00 Strive for regularity, not perfection

We often raise our expectations on an all-or-nothing basis. And when we fail to meet them, we give up on what we've started.

So that this does not happen again, remind yourself of the benefits of gradual progress. It is better to constantly do something and develop little by little, than to do nothing for fear of not reaching the ideal. The first step is to make realistic plans that fit into your life.

Unrealistic plans inevitably lead to disappointment and shame at not getting anything done. So strive for gradual progress and realistic goals. Open / Comment

2022-04-17 19:00:01 Three questions that we are afraid to ask ourselves

The answers may not appeal to you. But it is impossible for you to develop as a person without it.

Why didn't my life plans come true?

Everyone likes to dream as a child. Who to become, what to achieve. Then we were very honest with ourselves and chose only what really attracted us. When was the last time you checked with these plans?

What do I expect from life?

People are constantly expecting things. Sometimes from life in general, sometimes from other people: "And why is it that people around me aren't behaving the way I intended?"

Let me tell you a secret: The only way to fulfill your expectations is to meet them yourself. Expect justice? Be fair. Expect love? Love.

Why do I hang on to things that it's time to leave behind?

Resentments and past mistakes — there are some people who can't go a day without remembering them to someone. It's an easy way to absolve yourself of responsibility. Open / Comment

2022-04-17 15:00:01 Kanban

Kanban is first and foremost about visualization. A board and a set of colorful cards are used for visualization. One color is one performer or process. All team members can check the status of any task at any time.

Such boards can be used for personal time management as well as for project planning. The simplest kanban board is three columns: "To Do", "In Progress", and "Done". Open / Comment

2022-04-16 19:00:00 Improve yourself

More useful and interesting things to do.
The most important rule is to always try to spend your free time in a useful way. Do sports, read literature, study languages.

Boost your self-confidence.
Improve your self-esteem a little if you get a new hairstyle and wear inexpensive, but appropriate style clothes. Yeah, it's the little things. If you take more risks (deliberately) and face your fears, you can boost your self-confidence doubly quickly.

Don't be scared of making mistakes.
You must learn to forgive yourself, not to get upset because of spoiled things, mistakes in work or unsatisfactory grades in school. Bad days happen to everyone. Negative experiences provide direction for new solutions. Draw conclusions and move on, without repeating past mistakes.

Don't overwork.
Fatigue will not allow you to move forward. Periodic rest will improve your mood and regulate your nervous system. All this will give you the energy to work on yourself. Open / Comment

2022-04-15 19:00:01 How to become more literate: 3 practical tips

Today we're going to look at three tricks to help you handle language more confidently.

Read more. Banal? Yes. Effective? Also yes. With the regular reading of quality literature, your brain remembers even the most difficult words, expressions, and grammatical constructions.

Turn off auto-correction on your phone. When auto-correction is on, we often don't even pay attention to how a word is written. The gadget decides for us and writes for us. Try turning off auto-correction and seeing how you write. If you want to figure out how words are written, leave autocorrect off and work on your spelling.

Try to always write correctly. Even if it's a dialogue with a friend, respect the language you're communicating in. This will not only benefit your image, but it will also help you develop the habit of following the rules always and everywhere. Open / Comment

2022-04-15 15:00:01 Between the important and the urgent, the brain chooses the understandable

Often the "understandable" is your favorite TV show or video game. If your to-do list is filling up, but it doesn't make sense to you, you keep procrastinating.

Remember: the brain tends to what's clear and crisp — it immediately understands how to get to the action.

Try to turn your plan into clear instructions. Let your brain relax and accomplish daily tasks with ease! Open / Comment

2022-04-15 09:00:01 Your victory is my victory

This method is called interpersonal leadership, which is necessary because success depends on the joint efforts of everyone involved.

It is based on the premise that there is enough for everyone and that success follows cooperation rather than a win-or-lose confrontation.

That said, compromise is something to be avoided as it leads to mutual "disadvantage". Instead, an alternative solution that satisfies the interests of both sides should be sought. Open / Comment
