Reading every day can cut your risk of cognitive decline by up to 50%.

It keeps your memory sharp, your brain active, and your stress levels lower. This helps you stay mentally strong as you age.

P.S. – BDNF stands for Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor. A protein that helps our brain grow new cells and strengthen the connections that support learning and memory.

A 10-minute brisk walk can lift memory and focus, spark creativity by roughly 60 percent, boost blood flow to your brain, trigger BDNF for healthier neurons, raise dopamine & serotonin, and cut cortisol.
In short: walk for 10-mins and your brain gets sharper, clearer, and calmer.

@leongreen @fortelabs I remember Evernote used to be my go to app combined with Trello. How times change.

Now I mostly use Notion and a lot of random sticky notes.

Revue is dead!

Here are a few good alternatives for your Newsletter —

1. Substack (Closest Alternative)

2. Ghost CMS (Perfect for writers)

3. MailerLite (Cost effective)

4. Convertkit (If you’re really serious)

5. Flodesk (Best aesthetics)

If you have a newsletter on Revue, it’s about time you switch to something else.

The company is shutting down on 23rd January.

Efficient time-management, is perhaps the most underrated skill out there.

Only the calmest, most mature, patient mind knows that everything will be okay eventually. If you have faith, you’ll get through anything life throws at you. It’s only a matter of time, fam! 🤍

Self-discipline begins when your mind decides to not give up and stay determined towards your goal.

Being gentle with ourselves means giving ourselves permission not to be the best that's humanly possible, but rather to do the best we can right now. This philosophy reminds us that our version of “best” will look different than anyone else's.

Valuable friends are rare to find. If you do find them, hold on to them. Protect them and keep them close! 🤍
