My Excuses Are Killing Me:

How to be productive and successful without sacrificing who you are


Excuses: Everyone uses them to cover for their failures, insecurities, and laziness. But, there's a problem: excuses are just that. Excuses. They are no physical manifestation, but just a figment of our imagination. But if you're going to be living in an imaginary world, why not make your excuses something that's actually productive?

Author Nijel James argues that excuses stop people from making progress on their own terms and that by utilizing a few simple strategies you can become more productive while progressing on your own time frame. His book provides detailed instruction on how to remove the ‘excuses’ that are standing in the way of your success—also giving some great insights into why we make these excuses in the first place!

The book is full of easy to apply hacks on:
- How to stop procrastinating by using the 10 minutes trick
- How to stay focused even when you are stressed
- Making small changes to create a big impact
- How to avoid mood swings and self-sabotage
- A way of setting bulletproof boundaries
- Getting in the 'zone' and staying there

The book also contains Nijel's 4 Step Progression model where he lays out four stages of productivity (for more information check out the book) complete with progress tracking tools to help reach your goals.

Excuses: Everyone Uses Them, but it won't be you.

The Revenant's Mark

  The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side. Epic in scope and grounded in grit,  The Revenant’s Mark  blends dark...

Proof of the Existence of God: Confronting Science

  Proof of the Existence of God: Confronting Science WHEN FAITH CONFRONTS SCIENCE Dare to question, but be ready to believe. “Does God Exist?” This is an age-old debate. Interestingly, those who say “No” often cite science as the basis for their opinion. They openly state that “There is no proof of the existence of God.” However, there is proof of the existence of God. There is more than ample proof of His existence. There is more evidence than anyone will ever need if one was willing to look in the right places, if one was open to that proof, and if one does not block or eliminate the proof or otherwise redefine or pre-determine the scientific criteria despite the evidence. Carl Sagan once wrote, “Extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence.”  This book presents Ten Observable, Demonstrable, and Verifiable sets of facts that prove the existence of God. Not one, not two, but ten. Any one set of these proofs by itself would demonstrate it, but together they provide ove...
