		<description>Something I have been using is binaural beats - these sounds are amazing and can help you achieve more energy - better focus - more relaxed and for a good nights sleep.</description>

		<description>[...] Rule #1 &#8211; Have a goal! This, of course, is the most important rule. And guess what &#8211; I don&#8217;t have one, well I do, but it&#8217;s not written down anywhere and to be honest it&#8217;s quite vague.  Look at this blog for example. It&#8217;s chaotic. It has no structure or come to think of it any purpose. So I found an article on setting goals and about being focussed. [...]</description>

		<description>Wow!! I have had trouble with staying focused for my entire life. I am now a junior in college and staying focused should be my number one priority, but it is not. I am easily distracted by &quot;the outside world&quot; because I feel I will become a very dull person without the correct balance. I def. do not want to become that guy that works to much. However, I&#039;m trying to put your advice to work. GREAT ARTICLE!--motivation</description>

		<description>Nice post. Very well written.. 

One of the problems that I was and sometimes am facing is that I tend to oversleep. This is not always the case, though. When I have pressing deadlines, all I think of are the high priority things and do complete them on or before time. But then suddenly my energy dwindles away the very next day (of course, when there are no deadlines to be met with) and I keep thinking - was it the same &#039;me&#039; who worked all day long the day before to meet the deadline. Then I think of sleeping even more with the hope to get me energized. However, after I get up, I tend to be sleepy and don&#039;t do much work. 

The key thing that I got to know was to think about the consequences for a given action that I am about to make. But sometimes I just say to myself that nothing&#039;s gonna happen if I sleep just one more hour. I am seeing that this happens to some of my friends as well.

Anyway, I am back to my planner now!</description>
