Hello everyone! I hope everyone’s having a beautiful start to the week.
Mondays, as we all know, tend to be a day that makes us feel rather groggy and not-ready for work. I think many of us will also find that we procrastinate more.
Here I’m posting a work that looks differently at procrastination. Hope it helps! 🙂
