I currently work as a fitness coach, and I’d say 95% of new clients entering our gym want to lose weight in some way. The rest usually want to add muscle mass. Notice the interesting dichotomy: you're either adding weight or losing it, albeit in different [...]
At its core, the Getting Things Done (GTD) philosophy is all about freeing the mind. Ever found it difficult to focus on one thing because you have 37 others floating around your brain? What if I told you it's possible to hack your brain so [...]
