Give Me 5 Minutes and I’ll Give You 5 Ways To Earn More

July 8, 2019 No Comments

Every time I write and talk about personal finance, people ask me, “But how I do make more money?”

Making money is not that hard. You’re probably making your share of cash right now. That means you already know how to do it, right? That’s one of the first things I learned about money.

You have to look at making money as something you already know how to do. If you have a job or ever had a job, you know how to do it. Now, making more money on your own, that’s the next step.

But if you think it’s impossible, you’ll never do it. You need to stop thinking that only the privileged or fortunate ones can earn more. That’s not only false but it’s also self-sabotage.

If You Feel Like You Need A Break, Take One

July 1, 2019 No Comments

You recharge your phone when it runs out of juice. You refill your gas tank when you’re running on empty. But sometimes, you forget to take a break and recharge your most precious possession: Your body (and the brain that’s inside of it).

Whether you love what you do, are in between jobs, or have a job you hate: You’re working. Living is also a job. A pretty tough one, actually. Just the act of getting up in the morning can be a daunting task. And I’m not even talking about all the responsibilities we have.

So why do you make your life even more challenging by not taking a vacation to recharge? I’m not talking about your weekends that are packed with activities, or holidays where you do more work than relax.

No, that type of “free time” only costs energy. I’m talking about resting with a very specific reason: To recharge your battery so you can get back to living a productive life.

Procrastination Study: 88% Of The Workforce Procrastinates

June 17, 2019 No Comments

This study on procrastination focus on the following research question: What part of knowledge workers procrastinates on average? It’s a simple question. But until now, no one provided an answer.

Research has only focused on the procrastination behavior of college students. It doesn’t require much research to answer that question. I know from personal experience that students are notorious for procrastinating—which is fine.

The real issue with current research is that students don’t represent the workforce. That’s why I set out to discover how many professionals procrastinate. I conducted a survey on my newsletter and 2,219 people participated. Here are the results.

Why I Stopped Being Busy

June 10, 2019 No Comments

Do you know that feeling of being so busy that time flies with a blink of an eye? We’re so busy with all kinds of things—work, friends, going out, holidays, etc. But being busy is not a good thing at all.

Especially because we waste most of our time on nonsense. We say we’re busy but in reality, we just fill up our lives with crap.

We binge-watch tv shows for days, we go to networking events with weirdoes who try to sell you their services, we spend hours finding new clothes to buy so we can impress people we don’t even like.

We’re busy with bullshit. But until a few years ago, I never got it. When people asked me, “how are you,” my answer was, “busy.”
