Brian Tracy is a motivational speaker that has posed a 7-step formula for increasing your productivity by 1000%. Tracy’s formula is based on incremental improvements. The idea is to increase productivity, performance and output by a small amount such as 0.1% or 1% each day.

Self-control is something you can increase. Science says so!

We make decisions every day from what we will eat for breakfast to larger decisions around our careers and futures. The decisions we make shape our lives, thus decision-making is an essential life skill.

In an age where social media is part of our daily lives in almost every capacity, one must wonder the effects it has on our minds, both the unconscious and conscious parts.

The holidays are full of long hours of travel, running from location to location for social gatherings, schmoozing with relatives you rarely see, last-minute shopping and frantically searching for the final ingredient for your signature dish. There is a real pressure to perform during the holidays and create these “Hallmark” moments to remember forever.

Finding ideas for the holidays on social media is extremely useful! Instagram is full of thoughtful ideas and at the same time it is also a place where one can find themselves easily beat down about what you think you should have or do for the holidays. If you find yourself dreading the holidays, even as you scroll for recipes or a great centerpiece, you are not alone.
