Why You Need to Unplug Today
Table of Contents It typically starts as soon as you wake up in the morning… You check your phone. You scroll Instagram and TikTok for a few minutes. Fifteen minutes later, you snap out of the trance. By then, you have already triggered a significant release of dopamine—dopamine you should ideally generate by working toward your goals. You sit down at your desk, thinking you can work despite being overstimulated. But it is hard. Deep tasks such as writing a book, preparing a report or analyzing data require a lot of concentration. The more you check YouTube, emails, and social media, the more overstimulated you become, making it harder to […]
26 Tips to Study Better that Actually Work [Updated]
How to Improve Your Study Habits and Set Yourself Up for Success Want to study better? What is your PLAN for attacking your studies deliberately?

All of this was tied into the idea I gleaned from Chase Hughes that self-discipline is really just “delaying gratification for our future self.” I proposed this is something you […]
