Sometimes you feel like an observer. Every day, you get up and go through life, but somehow it’s not quite right. It’s like you’re not really there, you’re just watching. Things happen to you, but you feel like you’re watching a slow motion replay. Nothing is immediate. Nothing is fresh. Life becomes an echo. Break out! […]
1) Don’t work in the same place all the time. You’ll go crazy. Leave the house. Go to the library. Go get a coffee. 2) Press ALT and V together, then press U. This turns on full screen mode on word. Try it. You won’t go back. 3) Don’t use word. :p Use Scrivener. There’s […]

Energy – sometimes we have it. Sometimes we don’t. At the end of a long day, you’ll crash on the sofa. When you’re excited about something, you can’t stay still.
