Hi, reader! It seems as though about half of you explored the article on how to set up your iPhone for less distractions. For those who followed the directions - what has your experience been? For me, it took 10 days to get used to it - but I’m not looking back.

An Article.

“I want to find my passion” - Everyone under 40
What’s the thing you most look forward to in life?
What’s the thing that keeps you up at night because you’re so excited?
What’s the thing you do that puts you in The Now?
What’s the thing your friends say they’re impressed that you can do so easily?
That’s your passion!
Stop ignoring it!
A quote.
“Finding your passion isn’t just about careers and money. It’s about finding your authentic self. The one you’ve buried beneath other people’s needs.”
