|
Each Newsletter will include: 3 Ideas & 1 Person who has scripted a purposeful life.
Guilt is a useless feeling. It's never enough to make you change direction--only enough to make you useless.

I don't know about you but I think I might be addicted to Instagram. In between tasks, I find myself reaching out for the phone to scroll aimlessly. Here are some tips to increase your attention span.
Dr. Peter Attia, the Medical Doctor who amplified his reach (by breaking out of the usual mould) If you've recently heard of the word, "health span" mixed in with longevity talk, it's thanks to Dr. Peter Attia. The Oxford Dictionary defines HEALTH SPAN as the part of a person’s life during which they are generally in good health.

Today, in addition to Doctor, you can call him a podcaster, author and entrepreneur.

It might not be as easy to turn a blind eye and even the best of diplomats might not be able to deal...
Hello Friends, The December holiday haze has led me towards an actual haze fuelled home organization spree. As I declutter and reorganise, I thought about how my job would be so much easier if I had been more thoughtful in my initial housekeeping. For example, if I had considered my daily needs more, I wouldn't have packed away 2 portable fans deep in the recesses of a cabinet, only to forget about them and purchase new ones. Today's issue falls within the same theme of the benefits of future...
