Within minutes, couples spiral into accusations about respect, care, and whether they… Sigue leyendo "The 90-10 Rule of Conflict
At my lowest point, falling asleep at 3 AM and dragging through each workday, I stumbled across research about morning light therapy.

Why couldn’t I just buckle down and focus like everyone… Sigue leyendo "Getting Things Done When You Don’t Want To

My doctor never mentioned movement when I complained about my sleep. She suggested cutting caffeine, keeping a regular schedule, and darkening my bedroom. All solid advice that barely helped.
