Quote of the week:
This quote hit me right in the feels when I was looking through all the quotes I have saved.
We are all testing our mental health right now while trying to protect our physical health.
Please please please at least get enough sleep, stay active, and drink plenty of water.
Keep the basics going while we wait this one out.
Oh, and also read books. Books are the shit.

Tips or Tools of the week: Wisdom, Health or Wealth
Each week I share either three tips or three tools that will help you become wiser, healthier, and wealthier.
Wisdom tip of the week: Read books more than once.
I don't care how good your memory is, you will get something new out of a book by reading it again.
Especially if a few years have passed. Think about it. You're a different person now than you were when you last read an old book.
I wrote an entire article on this topic a while back.
Health tip of the week: It's okay to take breaks.
- It's okay to be unproductive
- It's okay to sleep in
- It's okay to pause a project
I am all about productivity, but sometimes it is healthier not to be productive and instead focus on your own health and well-being.
High achievers tend to hang out with other high achievers, and it's important to call out that there is sometimes shame around not being super productive.
So this if you need permission to take a break, use this as that permission.
Wealth tip of the week: Invest in assets
Assets pay you over time:
- Index funds pay dividends
- leasing a room in your house pays you rent
- Investing in your own business pays experience and potential business growth
- BTC and ETH pay interest when lent or staked
- A course pays you in knowledge, tactics, and strategy
