Hidden Gems: Life Learnings #12 (5/27/2024-6/9/2024)


Welcome to Hidden Gems, a bi-weekly newsletter of my key takeaways and reflections from self-education over the last two weeks.

You'll find ideas and actionable insights you can apply immediately to your life.


Consistency Wins

For the last two weeks, working out has no longer been a negotiation of "if" for me each day. Instead, it's "when?". Doing a smaller workout consistently more often vs. a long one a few times a week has been much more enjoyable. I highly recommend trying this out if you've struggled with consistency.

The two highlights below caused a personal breakthrough and might do the same for you.

Making Decisions

Before you try solving something, make sure you get the problem right. Write the problem down and make the invisible visible. Only then can we begin to make progress.

Also, that thing that is taking up your brain space but shouldn't be? Just decide and go.

Recent Finds

I purchased the Kindle Paperwhite after a mentor recommended it, and a teammate spoke highly of it. I have never enjoyed reading this much. It's not fancy, but that's why it's gold. Simple, fast, and syncs with Readwise .

I'll take a potential slight hit to my retention with it not being a physical book (if there is a difference). I'll buy the physical books that make a sizeable impact on me.

No sun glare is incredible.

I can't wait to see this technology develop.


Thanks for reading.
