Do you know where my frustration is coming from right now?
On many occasions my attempt to be persuasive ends up being in vain. I’m sure that many of us have experienced this weird moment when we just know that we have passed the tipping point which will lead to fiasco.

Routines are the pulse of life
Like a heartbeat, they help the nutrients flow through your life to keep you healthy.
