By Leo BabautaMost people become flustered or frustrated when things don’t go according to plan.

There’s an excitement that can come from having placed an order, or even just browsing for cool things. In this article, we’ll look at how to curb this habit … but also any kind of impulse habit.

By Leo BabautaI’ve been learning to play chess lately, and studying hard. It’s been teaching me a lot about how to learn a new skill, because it’s not enough to read or watch videos about chess — you have to turn your knowledge into skill. In this article, I’m going to share some of what I’ve been learning about learning skills, and turning knowledge into skill.
