Hi!
Here are the three most relevant points that I explored during the week and decided to share with you. I hope you find them useful!
In this edition we’ll talk about:
Now, let’s start!
1. Forest App ??
The Forest App has been my go-to for years, helping me stay focused on specific tasks.
The concept is straightforward: using your phone, select a tree type in the app, set a timer, and begin planting it.
The key is to resist the temptation of switching to other apps (we all know how alluring those social media apps can be), or else your growing tree will wither ??.
The cool part is that upon success, you're rewarded with virtual coins (gamification ??), allowing you to unlock other trees, bushes, and even nature sounds ??.
In essence, this app's purpose can be summarized as follows:
Plant Digital Trees ??. Grow Your Attention Muscle ????.
With the latest version, you can now plant trees on your computer and even engage in tree-planting sessions with friends simultaneously (ideal for co-working ????????????).
Give it a try and share your experience with me.
2. Quote to Think About
"Ultimately, there’s one investment that supersedes all others: Invest in yourself."
