Check out this insightful article on creating a personalized scorecard to track and improve your well-being. I've been using a similar methodology to keep my sanity in check and ensure that I'm the best version of myself for my family.

One Post:

This post from Jacob Cass serves as an excellent guide for those who are just starting to explore ChatGPT but don't worry; I'm no longer a beginner! I use ChatGPT daily, spending at least an hour interacting with it. Sometimes, I am wide awake at night, brimming with ideas I can't wait to discuss with ChatGPT. Take a look at this post to remind yourself that if you feel like ChatGPT isn't living up to your expectations, it could be that you need to learn how to prompt it effectively. Trust me; it's a game-changer!

One Media:

I recently came across this fantastic YouTube video from productivity guru Ali Abdaal. In the video, Ali shares six AI tools that he uses to supercharge his productivity. I couldn't agree more with his take on how, when used properly, these tools can boost our productivity by at least 5x! Take advantage of this opportunity to discover new tools to help you level your game. Check it out and tell me which means you find the most intriguing!

One Tool:

I just tried out this fantastic tool yesterday and had one of the most productive focus sessions I've experienced in a long time. Say hello to Focusmate - virtual coworking for getting anything done! I've included my invite in the link, so if you want to join me for a focus session, register, and I'll see you there!

I opted for a 75-minute session with a stranger, and it was the push I needed to reach inbox zero, which had been haunting me for a while. The beauty of Focusmate lies in sharing your goals for the session, keeping your camera on, working for the chosen duration, and reporting back to each other. Sure, I have over 50 team members, but we all know each other and inevitably end up discussing work. With a stranger, the accountability game is on a whole new level.

Give it a shot, and I bet you won't regret it. I'm already hooked and can't wait for my next session!
