Here is your weekly dose of The Sunday Spark āš”ļø a newsletter listing 5 inspiring things I thought were worth starting your week with: 
 
  1. Time Will Pass Either Way; a simple blog post by Chris Guillebeau one of my favorite authors and daily(!) podcasters, who also happened to travel 193 countries in 11 years.
  2. A book I recommend is temporarily on sale for 2.99$ only: How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be. Check it out.
  3. I told you in a recent Sunday Spark that I'm getting obsessed with the topic of taking notes to retain information and use it for my writing. Here is one of the best articles I read about this subject The Best Way to Read More Books (and Remember What You've Read)
  4. Download a collection of powerful photographs from around the world documenting the effects of climate change. Free to download and share widely.
  5. I love these questions a lot:
ā€œEvery day, your mantra is ā€œI am allowing this day to be easyā€ and then you ask yourself the following questions:
 
-What can I do to make this day easier?
-What can I allow in this moment to make this day easier?
-What can I let go of?
 
Give it a go and youā€™ll be amazed by the spaciousness and support you attract by bringing these questions to the forefront every 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.
