There are some common reasons people can’t get enough done. These are 5 of the biggest problems.

“Your eyes are bigger than your stomach.”

My mom used to tell me that all the time when I was a kid.

Anytime there was something I liked on the table, I took more than I could possibly eat. I never seemed to get my head around the idea that I could always come back for seconds.

When I got older, I treated my time the same way.

There are 5 common things that stop people from getting more done.
