Although major time-wasters, such as binge-watching or procrastinating, often receive a lot of blame, sneakier habits often steal the show. The good news? If you take the time to identify these hidden culprits, you can regain control of your schedule without making any other […]
Habit tracking is often touted as the holy grail of personal development. “Track your habits to stay accountable,” they say. “Don’t break the chain,” they insist.

Medications and therapy may help, but AI tools may provide immediate and practical support. But can AI help people with ADHD stay on track? The answer is yes, […]
