Hi friends,
 
Starting today and until further notice, I will be sharing with you the best of The Sunday Spark since 2023. As you may know, I launched this newsletter in Dec 2020 but I am only choosing content from the last 2 years since I shared a special edition of The Best of when I created the 100th edition in October 2022.
 
This decision will help me keep connecting with you while lightening the load a little during a very fun and hectic summer.
 
I read every reply to The Sunday Spark, please keep writing to me!

 
P.S. Let’s chat if you are considering hiring me to guide you towards your goals and positive habits in 1-1 sessions (July is booked! limited spots available for the month of August) or to train your team about the science of effective planning through goal setting, building habits, mastering time management for better performance and productivity, or the art of  beating burnout. 
Reply to this email, and we can start from there.

 Snapshot from a very eventful week: Baptism day!

Here is your weekly dose of The Sunday Spark ⚡️a newsletter listing 3 “Best of” sparks that I thought were worth starting your week with. 
 
1. 💪 25 Habits That Will Guarantee You Success. While I think some pieces of advice in here are harsh, especially if you are hard on yourself already, you still can't deny the surge of motivation you will feel reading these 25 habits from Ryan Holiday's latest book, Discipline is Destiny
 
2. 🗓 If you are still not doing your weekly reviews (👈download my template) which I consider one of my most important habits (and more important than waking up early), then the article by Tim Urban might convince you: Your Life in Weeks. Loved this question: "Are you making the most of your weeks?".  It is also why I love the book Four Thousand Weeks.
 
3. 💬 Gretchen Rubin, inspired by Andy Warhol, wrote:
“The things I do every day take on a certain beauty and provide a kind of invisible architecture to my life.”

She referenced Warhol’s idea:
“Either once only, or every day. If you do something once, it’s exciting. If you do it every day, it’s exciting. But if you do it just twice or almost every day, it’s not good anymore.”
 
This became the foundation for her famous quote:
“What we do every day matters more than what we do once in a while.”

Before you go, here are some cool resources I personally use, love and recommend:
  1. PRODUCTIVITY HACK 🎯⚡Tired of opening 12 tabs every morning just to get your day started? I've been using Momentum Plus as my browser homepage - it's like having a personal assistant that shows me my mantra, weather, to-do list, and even tracks time zones so I don't accidentally wake up my friend in Australia at 3 AM. Newsletter readers get 10% off with this link.
  2. 📙 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.
