The Growstr Weekly - 20/09/2023 🌱
Hello Growth Enthusiasts!
As the fall season approaches, it’s a time of reflection and an opportunity to reevaluate our goals and growth trajectory. In this edition, we’re exploring productivity, harnessing the wisdom of acclaimed authors, and sharing a few must-reads to propel you on your journey.
Let’s start with some productivity hacks to embrace:
Time-blocking: Allocate specific blocks of time for particular activities. This reduces the friction of starting and helps you dive deeper into tasks.
The 2-minute rule: If it takes less than two minutes, do it now. Simple tasks should not clutter your to-do list.
Limit multitasking: Contrary to popular belief, multitasking can reduce efficiency. Focus on one task at a time and give it your undivided attention.
Prioritize tasks: Use the Eisenhower Box or ABCD method to classify tasks based on their urgency and importance.
Digital detox: Set aside periods where you disconnect from screens to refresh your mind and increase creativity.
Quote of the week:
“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.”
Book Recommendations:
1. “Atomic Habits” by James Clear: A deep dive into the science of habits and how tiny changes can lead to remarkable results.
“The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle: A spiritual classic on living in the present moment.
“Mindset: The New Psychology of Success” by Carol S. Dweck: Learn about the fixed vs. growth mindset and how your perspective can shape your success.
“Daring Greatly” by Brené Brown: A guide on how vulnerability can transform the way we live, love, and lead.
“The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen R. Covey: Time-tested principles for personal and interpersonal effectiveness.
¿Are you more of a podcast person?
Give a listen to this awesome episode of The Huberman Lab Podcast in interview with Tim Ferris. Maybe you can find some inspiration from this great Bestselling Author.
Until next time, remember that growth is a journey, not a destination. Embrace every learning opportunity and cherish each milestone. Happy growing! 🌿
Also, if you have any suggestion or a specific top about personal growth you’d like to read in this newsletter, let me know in the comments. And if you like it, feel free to share so more people in the Nostrverse can find it <3.
Warm regards,
Sergei Kusanagi
