Lets face it, Evernote is simply awesome!

You can write notes, save documents, archive important files, share all of that goodness with other people and this is just scratching the surface. You can use it to create your next multi-million dollar product for your business, or to make a groceries list for that Sunday barbeque. Evernote gives you a blank canvas and lets you create your own masterpiece, as simple, or as complicated, as you want to make it.

Evernote even introduced a couple of...

What do most successful people do before breakfast?

This video training provides all the answers:

In this video, Im going to show you how to break bad habits once and for all.

Goals give a direction, a purpose, to everything that you do. Without them you are just aimlessly jumping from task to task and that can only lead to overwhelm, dissatisfaction and lack of success.

Have you ever been stuck in planning mode without being able to take action and execute your plan?

Or have you ever been so unbelievably busy that you are unsure if you are making progress or just going because you are either used to it, have no choice, or dont know what else to do?

I sure have been there, in both scenarios, many times.

Its hard to take action on your plans. Its even scary sometimes. Its even scarier to be working hard all day long, but have internal doubts if you doing...

Stop whatever youre doing!

Keep on reading of course, but stop doing the things that you know deep down you shouldve given up a long time ago.

Maybe its that 9 to 5 job that you absolutely hate! Or maybe its that relationship that keeps putting you down. Or you need to quit smoking. Or quit whining quit whatever you need to quit!

Theres at least one thing in your life right now, that you need to give up and you know you shouldve done so a long time ago, but something kept preventing you from...

What would you do if you had two job offers straight out of college?

Accept one of them?

Nah wheres the fun in that!

What if you take a year off, read every piece of productivity and time management information you can get your hands on, put it to the test and share your results with the world?

Paper is to write things down that we need to remember. Our brains are used to think. ~ Albert Einstein

Writing things down is not sexy, not even close.

But

It works! It works wonders! If you turn this simple technique into...

I think youll agree with me when I say that stopping procrastination is hard. In fact, it is so hard that studies have shown that procrastination affects 70% of the general population, with 20% of them claiming to be chronic procrastinators. If you are a student, the numbers get even more gruesome. According to a study done as DeSales university, procrastination affects more than 95% of the student body.

Mind blown.

Despite these negative statistics, you may have noticed that certain people...
