The One Minute Rule: The Simple Trick That Finally Makes You Start The hardest part of any goal isn’t the work itself - it’s starting. It’s that small moment before you begin, when your brain starts negotiating, delaying, and overthinking. In that moment, motivation feels far away and the task feels bigger than it actually is. This is exactly where the One Minute Rule changes everything. Why Starting Is hard The one reason why starting feels so difficult is because your brain doesn’t see the first step - it sees the entire mountain. When you think about studying, your mind imagines hours of effort. That mental weight creates resistance. Resistance creates procrastination. The One Minute Rule works by removing that emotional weight and shrinking the task down to something your brain doesn’t feel threatened by. How The One Minute Rule Works The rule is simple. The moment you think about something you need to do, count down: 5-4-3-2-1. Then move. Don't wait to feel ready.  This countd...

How to Read People’s Mind Without Letting Them Know I’m not talking about magic and telepathy, you know that’s not real. When I say read people’s mind, I mean reading by observing information in a conversation with a person. It’s about how much information you get from what they share - their behavior, their actions, their reactions, their tone. Every conversation gives clues. The more you observe, the more you get to know. Here's How - 1. Talk About Something New to Get Unfiltered Information Talk about something new, because the things you already talk about, the person has some response to that prepared. It’s like they already have a script ready. When you ask common questions, you get rehearsed answers. If you want unfiltered information, you need to ask something slightly unexpected. It should still be safe, not too personal, otherwise the person might get uncomfortable and close up. The goal isn’t to attack or interrogate. The goal is to see how they respond when they don’t h...

Time Blocking - The Ultimate Productivity Tool You wake up with good intention, promising yourself you’ll study or work later, but without a clear plan, distractions slowly take over. By the end of the day, tasks remain unfinished and guilt builds up and you can't stop blaming yourself. Time blocking solves this problem by making everything clear for you. But what exactly is time blocking? What Is Time Blocking? Time blocking is a productivity technique where you divide your day into clearly defined time slots, and each slot is assigned to one specific task. It's completely different from a To Do List. With a to do list we tend to procrastinate more by delaying tasks for later, the reason for that is we think we have a lot of time.

For example, you might dedicate 4:00 to 5:00 PM to math practice, 5:15 ...
