Hi friends,
 
I am sending you this Sunday Spark a few hours after returning home from a 6-day vacation with my family, the first since 2019. I see in front of me five luggage bags that need to be unpacked and laundry that needs to get washed by yours truly.
 
I am excited because we still have a whole week to enjoy together as a family and, separately (like when I took the below photo this morning). Much earned after that cozy vacation, don't you agree?
 
For the first time, this note does not come with five sparks, but I guess there have been many firsts lately. I am sealing it with heart-felt wishes for Eid Fitr Mubarak to you and your families. May it be a blessed one, and may you intentionally create beautiful memories to cherish forever in this Eid vacation.  
 
Also, happy May Day.

Some cool resources I personally use, love and recommend, with discounts just for you: 
 
  1. I like to start the day with my personalized Momentum plus tab, which helps me stay focused with a powerful mantra, an inspiring image, a to-do list, countdowns to big dates, and world clocks where I keep an eye on time zones of friends and family living abroad before contacting them. Being a newsletter friend, you would get a special offer of a 10% discount when you subscribe to Momentum Plus with the promo code: bardees.
  2. In the past two years, my work routine pretty much consists of going over to Brain Fm, selecting deep work mode and time duration; the rest is... focus. You get 20% discount on your subscription using my code: bardees.
  3. Enjoy 10% off my favorite gratitude journal that I have been using since 2017, The Five-Minute Journal, using the code Bardees10. One journal will last you 6 months. I loved the newly released colored covers.
  4. Enjoy 10% off my favorite daily planner, The Full Focus Planner, using the code Bardees10. One planner will last you 90 days.
  5. Enjoy a free month of the Readwise app to remember your highlights from books/articles you read on Kindle or websites.
