Would like to take your coffee black?


The long awaited pay week has come and gone, right?

January always feels like a long broke month. The Good news is it is about to end.

Monday morning is always a rush for a lot of people.

Putting that into consideration, I would like to shorten our highlight for this week to two

Here are two articles that will help kick start your week. Although they are both focused on writers, the underneath messages are practical to all professions

1. Writing daily is almost impossible and unfathomable to some of us. But do you know that writing daily is not only therapeutic but also helps improve your creative horizon? Johan Rosén explains it better in his article entitled “Write Every Day Or Once In A While?” His thoughts on the benefits of writing daily and tips on how to do so will totally convince you. So click now and start reading.

2. The blessings of waking up early cannot be overemphasized. But thanks to Tom Kuegler who made it up front and person by giving a productivity level benchmark of a before and after scenario of waking up early. Check out this article “These Problems Ended When I Started Waking Up At 7 AM” to see what I mean. Trust me, you will see a difference in your pressure level if you practice likewise.



The length of this blog post is more of an experiment. To complete this experiment, I would like your opinion as to if you prefer this length, want more contents or want it shorter. And if you would like an expansion of a particular area, Please be free to suggest. Until then, stay tuned to next week’s “coffee”. Mondays by 12 pm
