2. Helps to avoid moment-to-moment distraction

" The unexamined life is not worth living " - Socrates

Knowing yourself will help with you self-development.

You have to be the BOSS of you.

Human issues that damage productivity are the hardest to solve for many people.

Every day, there are MORE distractions.

People used to read more, idle more.

Now, alerts come every few minutes. Messages, emails, chats, etc. Too much.

Even simple pomodoro practice is becoming hard. People can't focus.

FOCUS on the most important thing. Don't get distracted.
