Two Life Hacks in 2 Minutes
Early bird gets the worm.
Happy Memorial Day to our American followers #Murica
And a Happy Monday to our international readers.
What’s covered this week:
Two “life hacks” for optimizing productivity.
The best song you haven’t heard yet.
A quote about disregarding compliments.
Something to Read:
A good friend of mine I met in undergrad, Jon Holland, came up with this concept:
What if you changed the word…
“Should” to “Must”
When it comes to your goals, passions and a lifestyle you want to achieve:
“I should work out today.”
“I should stop being nervous about starting my own business.”
“I should stop letting fear keep me from pursing my dreams.”
But think about the impact if you replaced should with must:
“I must work out today.”
“I must stop being nervous about starting my own business.”
“I must stop letting fear keep me from pursing my dreams.”
A half mile run is better than not running at all.
Mock-pitching your business idea is better than holding the idea to your chest.
Sending that cold email is better than pressing delete.
It’s better to do little than nothing at all.
Something to Watch:
I woke up at 5am for 30 days: Matt D’Avella
Matt’s known for being the go-to “minimalist” YouTuber.
Although his minimalist videos are valuable — I’d like to introduce the sheer benefit of being an early riser.
If I was ever asked on a podcast or interview; “What was the single decision that’s propelled your success?”
My answer would be: Waking up at 5am would be my answer without question.
A Song to Listen to:
Ben has not even 2000 followers on Spotify and he deserves 200,000 after this creation.

A Quote to Think About:
