This week, the posts don’t follow a theme. They cover topics from procrastination to meditation. The last one reminds us not to overthink our decisions.
Sprinting or Procrastinating. This first post of the week talks about the difference between procrastinating projects and sprinting to finish them. Are you a sprinter or a procrastinator?
