Pela Phone Cases Most people have a phone case on their phone. Personally, I have gone through several during the six years I have been using a phone case. Most phone cases are not recycled and I am not sure if they could be either. Because they are an item that you will use for five years tops but can stay in the environment for up to 1,000 years; I would suggest getting a compostable phone case. Pela cases offer a compostable phone case option for Android and iPhone users. Although they do not have too many options, raising the demand for compostable phone cases will bring more options. If more people support these types of companies, more like them will pop up. Hopefully, a day will come where there will be as many or more environmentally conscious than there are unconscious.

How to Stop Procrastination
At one point or another, we’ve all said that one phrase: “I’ll do it later.” Really? Because after this, a few hours pass, maybe a day or two and even weeks pass before you get to do that one little thing “later.” Does that sound familiar? Well, it's this thing all of us have come to know which is commonly called procrastination. Procrastination is a term to describe the action of delaying or postponing something. Sound familiar, right? While this very simple concept can be seen as a solvable cause, it can literally break or make anything happen. To doing simple house chores to doing your homework last minute, to even writing this article after days of sleeping on it, procrastination can have major effects on your life. In my own life procrastination has hurt many aspects of it including my social life and academic performance in school but that's a topic for another article. Anywho, let's dive into the world of “doing everything at the last minute because we feel like it” from the origins of the probable signs of procrastination, how to manage it, overcome it and to prevent it from happening again. So let's start… later. I’m kidding… a little.

Spring Cleaning
Why do we spend so much time obsessively cleaning? We clean our homes, cars, offices, boats, etc. We’ve even dedicated an entire season to it – spring cleaning. In case you’re unaware, allegedly March 19-25 is national cleaning week; who knew there was a national cleaning week!? As much as I dislike cleaning, I must admit there is something cathartic about it — although if I’m totally being honest, it's just my way to justify buying more stuff.

What You Need to Know Before You Buy Sheets
I know nothing about sheets. I only know how to be a good lover and father. It takes intuition to do both. The same is not true of buying sheets. You need to know a lot of stuff to buy sheets! Vocabulary, your climate, what you want out of sheets. I've never asked myself what I want out of sheets! Only what I want out of a partner and out of my own life. I let my son Jarret be who he wants to be.

Ways to Boost Your Memory and Remember Almost Everything (Backed by Science)
Without getting too existential on you, our memories are one of the only ways we can transcend time. As beautiful and elegant as this observation may be, it would mean nothing if you can't remember any of them. Drastic as this may sound, in all likelihood if you don't take care of your body and mind, you're sure to lose some of those valued mental treasures.

If you’re anything like me then you know the struggle of trying to throw together a professional look in only 30 short minutes after hitting the snooze button a few too many times. Before I perfected my routine, I was notorious for running out the door unshowered, hair in a bun, with no makeup (and I would still be a few minutes late every time LOL). After realizing I needed to get this under control, I have perfected a few time saving tips and tricks that have made my morning routine a breeze.
