The other day, I was watching an experiment on TV where they put some flies in jar with an open lid. Some flies flew out of it, but when they closed it for three hours and opened it again, none of the flies left the jar. They were conditioned to stay in. The same applies […]
Think a bit about eliminating all sorts and forms of social media from your life. Have you imagined the free time and space that you would get? It looks scary for some people to think it. When I deleted my Facebook account in 2016, I felt the difference in terms of the time that I […]
