This is the 5th installment of the „Needles from the Haystack“ – Newsletter and „Oh Boi“, I found a lot of good things last month.
This month I have for you…
- A superb 1 hour podcast session on asking yourself and others proper questions
- A guideline to creating moments worth remembering
- A 19-piece listicle on micro habits that take very little time to practise, but could add substantial value to your quality of life
- An excellent article on how to make willpower last
- An inspiring story about a training program which transforms incarcerated criminals into successful entrepreneurs
If you only have time for 1 piece, I’d go with the podcast on asking questions, as that is something that is rarely talked about in that detail.
But if a lack of willpower is one of your majoy traits, the article on how to make that last is awesome as well.
If you think I did a good job in selecting the content, please share this with your best friends, family, loose aquaintances, secret lovers and random people on the internet.
I’d love to send more people useful stuff!
Cheers,
Stefan
