We live in a fast paced world where everyone is busy with responsibilities and obligations that are either self-imposed or placed on us by others. Other times, we are distracted by the side attractions such as social media platforms, parties, hanging out with friends, TV programs and so that prevent us from pursuing our goals hence the poor time management, unfulfilled dreams and unsatisfactory lives that so many people experience despite being busy everyday of their lives. …
Read moreI am one person who likes planing. I plan every detail and would also want to plan on time. I am not really a fan of spontaneity. I don't so much like it when I have to do everything in a hurry or get caught up with last minute rush. It is never my thing.
