After enjoying a period of relaxation during the summer, many of us return to studies or work with a desire to develop good habits and a better routine than the previous year.

It might be taking up a new sport, cooking healthy meals instead of ordering in or going to bed earlier for example.

Today we’re going to talk about a method which may well help you stay on track: the two-day rule.
