In this episode, I will give a few tips on controlling impulse buying that I have found success with. This topic is particularly important, because the area of personal finance and how we manage our budget is a key factor in building our prime balanced Life and Lifestyle. Without the discipline and determination to live within our means we are putting our future selves in further monetary chains, because our future self must quite literally pay for that lack of discipline and determination. Let me say that again. Our lack of financial discipline today literally costs us disposable income in the future. Impulse buying is one such act that can destroy your budget and have future you bleeding money.

EP_006: Morning Productivity Hacks to Boost Your Day

I've been getting a lot of questions about productivity and potential ways to get yourself going. So I've decided to create two separate episodes, one focused on morning productivity and the other just on productivity overall. In this episode, you will hear me focus on Morning productivity hacks to boost your day. Improved productivity can give us our time back and give us a better return on our investment by completing more things in the same timeframe. Morning productivity is especially important because it sets the tone for the rest of the day. If you get up ready to go, you are going to have a different mentality and probably success rate than if you wake up in a more reactive state and less intentional.
