Hi friends,
Those moments of quiet. You need them. There is so much noise in our lives. Phones ringing. Washing machine running. Printers doing their thing. There are many blessings in these day-day ordinary, albeit noisy sounds. They say we are alive and doing what alive and ordinary people do. Ordinary is a blessing. And yet, we still need those moments of quiet when no machines are running. Those moments of quiet. You need to seek them. Carve them out of your days. Especially the busy ones. Design them. Start your day with them. It's unlikely you will just find them. |

P.S. Let’s chat if you are considering hiring me to talk to your team about the science of goal setting, building habits, mastering focus to improve performance and time management, or beating burnout. Reply to this email, and we can start from there. |

Here is your weekly dose of The Sunday Spark ⚡️ a newsletter listing 3 sparks that I thought were worth starting your week with: |
|
1. 🎙️Not only did I get back to podcasting last week! but I enjoyed being a guest on this episode of (من كندا مع ساميه) podcast that was released last week about planning, time management, and productivity. I am hoping it will be a very helpful resource for you and would love to hear your opinions about it. Don't forget to support Samia's podcast and Instagram page. |
|
3. 💬 I am enjoying reading this new book about creativity from @Inspiredtowrite It's a pep talk to get you to engage with your art, no matter what form it takes on daily basis, here is a motivating quote from it: |
|
"Small, achievable goals will protect you from burnout, help you stay in contact with your identity as an artist long-term, produce better quality AND quantity in the long run, and generally just feel better. There is no WRITE A BOOK. There is only write one hundred words. There is no PAINT A MASTERPIECE. There is only fifteen minutes with the brushes, stroke by stroke. There is no COMPOSE A SOUNDTRACK this coming Tuesday. There is only working on a few lines of your composition every Tuesday so you can be done within the year." |

Some cool resources I personally use, love and recommend: - MOST LOVED🌞🌐 I like to start the day with my personalized Momentum Plus internet browser tab, which helps me stay focused with a powerful mantra, an inspiring image, a to-do list, focus sessions with music, 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 will get a special offer of 10% off when you subscribe to Momentum Plus using this link.
- NEW 📙 Can you believe I have been using this amazing gratitude journal since 2017? Here is a link to an Instagram highlight I did about it so you can see it from the inside. You get 10% off when you order using my code: Bardeespodcast10.
