Bullet tips
Productivity:
āThe easiest way to make a decision:
What would tomorrow you want today you to do?ā
Stop and think!
Today you is the procrastinator, the short cut takerā¦ the short term thinker.
What you believe tomorrow you would do is always going to be better than what today you wants to do.
Make tomorrow you proudā¦ help them out!
Wealth:
āThe more you learn, the less you fearā - Julian Barnes
It could read āThe more you earn, the less you fearā. Thatās not the solution.
We are severely uneducated when weāre unleashed into to the big bad world as a young adult. School doesnāt teach mortgages, taxes, savings, investments etc.
Many will fail to learn how to control and make their finances work. Itās scary personal finances have to be self taughtā¦ one of the most important resources we have!
Take the responsibility to learn. The more you know, the more control you have and ultimately the less you fear!
Life:
āDon't let the thing you wish you did a year ago be the thing you wish you did a year from nowā - Josh Spector
Start today!
Do the smallest thing you can to start the task/project/personal goal you've been putting off.
Still can't start? Make it smaller
Still can't start? Make it tiny
Still can't start? Make it minuscule
Create a space where an excuse can't exist!

A thing about ānormalā (Sethās Blog)
Normal is the thing many donāt notice.
Until it changes. And then we canāt unsee how much we had failed to pay attention to.
Whoās on the short list for consideration, who is given the benefit of the doubt, who gets a head startā¦
We begin to notice the people that are artificially selected to seem like the right ones, who are then supposed to be better and anointed as normal.
I was thrilled that Unilver has decided to get rid of the word ānormalā on their personal care product labels. Because when it comes to people, normal is an artificial construct, the center of a statistical bell curve but not a standard that we ought to seek to achieve, even if we could.
Normal is a distribution, not a person.
Ask yourself thisā¦
Would you rather have comforting lies or unpleasant truths?
Same time next week,
