It’s morning. You do it again, touching a cold screen which helps you to follow things that are outside, but not inside you. You freeze as you’re trying to choose a movie to watch or a JPG to upload to your profile. When at work, instead of telling your boss “Screw you,” you just smile and shake his hand. You are not the master of your life… I know why. Have you ever tried a newly installed Windows operation system? It works like a charm. Unless you install more programs… You open a movie, a browser, and the computer tells you “E-E-E-E-E-E-R-R-R-R”/// A day passes… A month… The operation syste ..read more

I have a ritual. Without it, I would be the same as before, distracted, confused, without focus. Only this ritual helped me make the most out of my day. Oh yes, every morning I open a can of beer and start watching a sports match!!! As you can see, I’m kidding. I am not Al Bundy :). So I go to shower, eat, and when I come to the office, I do the following: a) I glance at the emails, and b) I prepare a list of tasks. I adore the to-do list. The to-do list is closely related to the start of the day. The to-do list is an excellent prelude to a successful and happy start to the day, without which ..read more

Once upon a time, there was a man who possessed an exceptional power—the ability to function without ever sleeping. He became known as “the man who never slept” or the man who never asks himself  “How to make more time for yourself?” It was shocking that insomnia had not harmed this man’s heath; he ended up living for 94 years. His name was Al Herpin. There are many such figures in the history of humankind. Some famous insomniacs are Thái Ngọc and John Alan Jordan. There was also a woman (Inés Fernández) who had always slept normally, but who one day felt a pain in her head. That pain ch ..read more

Benjamin Franklin once said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” He was right. How do you think Benjamin Franklin managed to accomplish so much meaningful work?

“I would like to make my dreams come true, but I don’t have time and motivation,” an acquaintance once said. What do you think I replied? First, I asked, “Answer, what did you do yesterday?” and our conversation went like this: “Me???”  “Yes.” “I was with a friend…” “What exactly were you doing?”  “We played a PC game.” Mhmmm… Do you say you don’t have time, you damn sloth??? Do you know how much time games eat?  I was a fanatically devoted fan of Enemy Territory and CS. It killed five years of my life.  Oh yes, everyone has time, but not everyone uses it properly!  F ..read more

I often write about productivity, time management, but some people misinterpret my thoughts because they think I encourage you to be productive 24/7. They claim, “But how can I be consistently productive?!”  But I don’t think you need to be productive all the time! For example, today, I did nothing. I sat down at the computer only at 6 PM. In the morning, I lay down like a cat wriggling. And then I meditated on the floor, being stroked by the sun. Then I took a walk along the coast of Nice… Mmmm… I was saving energy for productive work. Because when you are rested, you can complete tasks ..read more
