Brianna Wiest has introduced a strange concept in the book, which I did not see in any other self-help book. The author claims that we use disorganized surroundings as a means of procrastinating on important things. Having the atmosphere in a messy shape, our mind gives us every excuse of not being productive because of an un-productive atmosphere. Our mind also tells us that even if at all there is any time left to do something, it should be spent on organizing the surroundings. Resultantly, the actual priority task always remains backstage and never gets priority.

The World Expects You To Carry On No Matter What

The weirdest thing about the society is that it expects you to carry on with your life no matter how grieved you are. If you lose someone extremely close to you. Giving a few days off and some words of sorrow is all that the world has to offer you. After that, it would be considered abnormal or awkward of you not to get back to the routine.
