Let’s start this blog post with the irony itself, I’m writing this a day later it needs to be published. Why? I procrastinated writing this piece till the last minute.   Yes, I do procrastinate. Just because I have this blog doesn’t mean I’m immune to all the bad habits. If you were thinking I don’t, you’re mistaken. I’m also one of you, I delay tasks to a certain extent because I don’t like doing them.   But I was always curious about knowing why? Why do we all procrastinate when we know we have important work to do, deadlines to meet, and targets to achieve. I started payin ..read more

Say yes too much and always find yourself in uncomfortable situations. Say no too much and watch people drift away from you citing your rudeness as the rea ..read more

If I think about the person I was a few years back, I would describe myself as someone who always wanted to be liked by people, sought validation from everyone around me to feel better about myself. I used to be someone who’d be very upset if I hear someone talk badly about me, although the person might not be someone important to me. What I just described now is one of the signs of being a people pleaser. Fast forward to today, I no longer feel the need to keep everyone happy and don’t feel to maintain an image to be liked by everyone. The people who are right for you, understand you and lik ..read more

There are a lot of things around us that affect our lives in significant ways but somehow we fail to recognize them. For example – the way we sit and the way we eat has an impact on our body and health more than we realize. One such unusual thing is colors.

The study through which we link colors to our emotions is called Color P ..read more

We talk about being productive all the time, even my previous articles were about the ways you can be productive and how to manage time effectively. While its a great thing, people sometimes fail to draw the line. Those who connect their worth with how much they are productive or how many hours they work are the ones who have fallen in the trap of toxic productivity. This is when we create an obsession with productivity and work, which is not only unhealthy for ourselves but also everyone around us. Especially during this pandemic, everyone on social media is talking about how being productiv ..read more
