QUOTE
A quote that I’m mulling over, and fitting I felt for my first post on a blog that is all about making the most of everything you are given and personal growth…
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” – Ghandi
HEALTH/TECH
There are a myriad of wearables out there now to help you track and quantify your performance, so where to start? If you want serious bang for your buck them look no further than the Moov Now. At less than £50 / $60 / AU$79, it packs a serious punch for such good value. This fitness tracker has a killer minimalist design (sans screen).
It is robust and will handle even the most strenuous workout. Oh yeah, did I mention the battery life is SIX MONTHS?! Insane. Get on it and check it out here.
PODCAST
As far as sports documentaries go, it doesn’t get much better than 30 for 30. The series, originally commissioned by Bill Simmons, has set the bar for sports story-telling to new heights. This week 30 for 30 launched in podcast form and the first episode is an absolute stunner. This is one to subscribe to without a moment’s thought, get it on your phone and look forward to your commute! “Like the films, but for your ears”. Check it out here.
PERSONAL GROWTH
In a rut and questioning your achievements? Be patient, execute your vision and upgrade yourself with this insight from Todd Brison. Have a read here.
PRODUCTIVITY
I wanted to share this blog post on 11 super effective ways to level up your productivity from the wonderful folks over at Best Self (and if you haven’t come across their planner journals yet, please check them out here; the journals are a thing of beauty and highly effective).
If you take one thing away from it, the One Touch Rule is it >>> don’t save simple tasks that you’ll “save for later”, just deal with it now.
BUSINESS/PODCAST
Another podcast recommendation, but this is totally worth it. Internet entrepreneur, venture capitalist and co-founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffmann, has recently created a new podcast called Masters of Scale. Unsurprisingly, and stating the completely obvious, this man is connected. His last 4 guests have been Reed Hastings (CEO, Netflix), Eric Schmidt (CEO, Google – Chairman, Alphabet), Sheryl Sandberg (COO, Facebook), oh and some guy called Mark Zucker-something. Incredible and candid insights into the world of running these wildly successful tech behemoths. Available in all the usual pod spots and here.
INSPIRATION
If you are ever lacking motivation to go out and crush it, then look no further than 75-year old legend Don Wildman. Have a read of this and rethink why you’re still sitting here reading this.
