According to New York magazine, “between 1965 and 1991, the number of adults who regularly skip breakfast increased from 14 to 25%.” Staying Strong Under Stress.

You can ask any member of the Behance Team who’s seen me before a big product launch or other major event. My attention to detail, normally a strength, can become a compulsive need to verify everything. If I’m not careful, my drive to be helpful can backfire. In tough situations, with fires ablaze, certain strengths have the tendency to become weaknesses.

Having a clear procedure for solving certain problems prevents brash decisions and ill-conceived solutions.
A Master Plan for Taking Back Control of Your Life. Here’s the problem we face, every day of our lives.
Nearly everything that generates enduring value requires effort, focus, and even some discomfort along the way. Setting the Scene for a Productive Day. Once you’ve sunk into the warm embrace of your favorite chair after a long day, it can feel excruciatingly difficult to summon up the motivation to go out and exercise, grocery shop, or take in culture.

You might think that creatives as diverse as Internet entrepreneur Jack Dorsey, industrial design firm Studio 7.5, and bestselling Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami would have little in common.
In fact, the tenets that guide how they – and exceptionally productive creatives across the board – make ideas happen are incredibly similar. Here are 10 laws of productivity we’ve consistently observed among serial idea executors: 1. Break the seal of hesitation. A bias toward action is the most common trait we’ve found across the hundreds of creative professionals and entrepreneurs we’ve interviewed. 2.
