Simon Alexander Ong is an award-winning personal development entrepreneur and coach, and the author of Energize: Make the Most of Every Moment.

His work has been featured on Sky News and the BBC as well as Forbes, The HuffPost and The Guardian, and he’s always so generous to Shelf Help with his time and advice on living an optimised, but more importantly - happy - life.

In this episode we discuss:

1. The 'domino' effect of movement when it comes to creating healthy habits.


2. Why we need to work on our work-REST balance.


3. The power of future-self visualisation.


4. Why planning your day the night before is the key to focus and productivity.


5. The 5% Rule: "Spending just 1 hour per day moving accounts for less than 5% of your day."


6. Why we need to stop overthinking and/or overplanning and just do it: "Anyone who is happy and successful has a bias towards action."
