i hope this inspires you: take the stress out of creativity and stop wondering why you "don't have any", and thaat you find the fun example/story helpful in illustrating this idea!

i'm a vision board lover. 

so, over the years, i've come up with a few strategies that level-up basic dream-board. 

let me know what you think of this new tactic. 

i've tested this with both printing out images at the beginning of the week or month (7 images for the new week or 30 images all at once) and adding them daily, as well as the digital way :)

i've always been curious about what really makes successful people successful.

a simple answer could be: oh, well they just have it. 

but what is 'it'? is it 'grit'? money? talent? determination? 

so, you can imagine my delight when i discovered this study that was conducted to specifically answer this question. 

this study analyzed the top most successful people in world history (that we know of) from napoleon to jeff bezos, and used immense amounts of data pulled from their lives and biographies to find similarities. 

these are the top 3 characteristics that ALL of them shared. 

which one surprised you the most?

ugh. to-do lists. nothing is more praised and at the same time, dreaded.

i've been making a 'list per day' for years now- it's just part of my daily routine.

but recently, i've fine-tuned my strategy and implemented this new way of creating my list. 

instead of focusing on writing down a list of random events, tasks, and goals for the day, this strategy centeres around priorities or focuses that you define for yourself. 

basically: define your priorities/life categories and write down what you're doing for each category that day. 

these categories are ones you define for yourself. i suggest having categories for at least something that involves your wealth, your health, joy, job/school, and 'big goals' (which i explain in this short episode). 

new month, new opportunities.

here are some little things i’m implementing this month and some ideas for you!

my march little focuses:

waking up before 8

reading 1 book a week

posting authentically on social media

limiting social media consumption

listening more than i speak

creating more than i consume

giving more than i take

practicing handstands daily

journaling every morning

getting outside in the first hour of being awake

drinking warm lemon water first thing

and 4 more, which i mention in the episode!

i hope this inspired you! let me know which one you’ll implement and any other practice you’re focusing on :)
