We all have them: those elusive habits we swear we’ll adopt, our ambitious goals, and our unwavering consistency. Maybe it’s waking up with the sun, working out every morning, or finishing that big project ahead of time. Often, however, the reality is quite different. Instead of focused progress, we become distracted by endless YouTube rabbit […]
Although time management seems like a modern buzzword, the challenge of organizing time effectively has existed for centuries. History has long been rife with productivity apps, bullet journals, and systems to help us make the most of our days.
