💡Level Up Wednesday: The Most Important Question of Your Life

Welcome to the new ‘Level Up Wednesday’ (previously the Pro Letter).

After a bit of time off, I’ve discovered that productivity is not only about work, money, and hustling. It’s about developing an attitude for continued improvement in all parts of life.

I’ve decided to go for a more rounded newsletter. A resource you can refer back to. I’ll scout the web for the 5 best resources I can find to help you level up. Saving you from doom scrolling your days away! That’s efficient, right?

You may not read every resource, every week… but if one thing sticks and delivers value, then it’s doing its job!

Enjoy!
