Hi friends, As you read this note, I hope you have a pleasant start to the week. I have a full week ahead consisting of three consecutive nightly Zoom meetings. While one of those meetings was booked weeks ago, I booked the other two, which was not a great idea. While I am excited about all three meetups, this week taught me to plan better and create a new rule; "When I have an online meetup or an outing during the workweek, I will protect the rest of the week from evening commitments." I will also consider scheduling my upcoming 3-day online workshops in the same way; one session a week. What do you think? Speaking of meetups, will you show up tonight at 9 pm to watch my Live session on (How to Manage Your Time and Increase Focus) on the private podcast listeners' Facebook group? If you haven't already, join the group here, there will not be a replay 🤷♀️. |

You replied, and I listened. I know you have been missing the personal notes. I have missed writing them too, but I never meant to stop them, I was taking a pause. As Austin Kleon says, this newsletter is free but not cheap, so I’m trying to find a better way to streamline the production of this newsletter. Would you like to know more about how I put it together? Let me know. Also, do you like the previous tightly bulleted list of sparks or this spaced format? Share with me your thoughts, please 🙏. Don't foget to tell me your favorite spark! See you next Sunday 😊 First name / my dear friend |

Some cool resources I personally use, love and recommend, with discounts just for you: - 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.
- Enjoy a free month of the Readwise app to remember your highlights from kindle books/articles you read.
