Thirty habit that will make your life much better

Just one sekretRobin Scott, a sociologist and a businessman, brought one single recommendation to improve personal effectiveness, and argues that it can change your life.

There are no simple solutions. I know that as a sociologist, who read an infinite number of motivational books and blogs about efficiency and change of life.
