New Year’s Resolutions: 6. Personal
We have come to the last of the major areas of life that affect our happiness – personal. Although it could be said that most or all of my goals shared so far are personal, what I mean here are other areas such as entertainment, hobbies, achievements, etc. The things I want and plan to do…

New Year’s Resolutions: 5. Family

Screen Time Overload…?
Remember the days when we were told to go outside and get some fresh air or the parents controlled how much time we could spend watching TV? As an adult, I no longer have someone to tell me to go outside or to do “something useful”. When I was a university student, I hardly even…
