When You Can Stop Tracking Your Writing Goals

When you just do it daily. You know whether you wrote today or you didn’t because the process to get to publishing is so palpable in emotion and effort that you won’t forget that you did it, that you put in the work for the day. But you’ll certainly know…

Want to Increase Your Productivity in Writing? Stay Small to Become Big

Completing Running Marathons While training to run 21 km in blazing tropical sunlight with humidity as thick as a steam room, I heard advice from a former Marine to help extend our endurance. The trick wasn’t to demand that we endure the remaining entirety of our run. …

Who Gets Into Harvard and Why

The least inspiring majors (and thereby students) I consistently encounter as a college admissions consultant are the ones who want to major in Business and Economics majors.
