Not lost on me that a black queer artist and a white country singer came together to sing a song about belonging.

America is starved for connection across divides and that performance shows how much music has the power to heal. #grammys #tracychapman

A painful game to watch back as an Irish fan, but had to pay tribute to this try.

Such a clever way to create a mismatch from the All Blacks and score one of the tries of the tournament.

Do this test to see if you'll live longer.

It's called the Sit and Raise Test.

Here's how to do it: You stand up, cross your legs back, and go into a seated position. Then from that position, you get yourself back up to a seated position.

Researchers tested 2000 adults ages 51-80.

They followed them for an average of 6.3 years & out of the 159 people who died only 2 scored a perfect 10.

Those who scored the lowest scores had a 5-6x higher risk of dying than those who scored 8-10.

Older adults who have muscular strength & flexibility are less likely to fall. Falls are the leading cause of unintentional injury-related deaths for people 65 & older.

The sit & raise is a test for basic strength & mobility.

You lose a point if:

- You place your hands on the floor
- Need support
- Touch knee to the ground
- Lose balance
- Support yourself on your side of the leg

You get 0 points if you can’t do this at all.

Scored a 10? Great.

Scored less than a 10? Use that as a baseline to improve on.

What an incredible group of players. They gave England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 their toughest test yet at this World Cup.

They have made a whole nation and continent proud. You have sooo much of my respect. Quality players throughout the squad. Well done 👏🏾

This 30-second iPhone hack changed my life...

Grayscale Mode removes the colors to make your phone immediately less appealing and addicting.

To turn it on, follow these steps:

(1) Settings
(2) Accessibility
(3) Display & Text Size
(4) Color Filters -> On
(5) Grayscale

If you want to be able to toggle it on and off easily, you can create a simple shortcut:

(1) Settings
(2) Accessibility
(3) Accessibility Shortcut
(4) Color Filters

If you triple-click the side button, you'll be able to toggle Grayscale on and off.

Since starting to use Grayscale Mode in January, I've seen my screen time drop and my focus rise.

Try it for a day. It's a massive life hack.

If you enjoyed this and learned something new, follow me @SahilBloom for more in the future!

Public service announcement for managers and coaches: you can't judge effort by results.

Inconsistent performance doesn't mean people aren't trying their best. It often means they're doing their best in the face of turbulence.

In humans, variability is a feature, not a bug.
