Proven Productivity

Inconsistency negates even the strongest waves of intensity.

Journaling and setting/ticking ToDos handles daily consistency. But what about weekly, monthly, and yearly?

The comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld has a smart solution:

Pick one habit/behavior you're trying to be consistent with.

Get a physical calendar (do they even make them these days?)
Mark an X on the days you do the habit/behavior on your calendar.
Keep this chain of X’s in sight and avoid breaking it.

The lengthier the chain, the easier it gets to keep going — the X-streak itself becomes the prize!

Simple but an absolute game-changer.

Fit Formulas

Formula #1 - The 3 Best Ab Exercises (NOT Crunches)

Ditch crunches and side bends - they're inoptimal and strain your spine. Instead, do:

Knee raises: Excellent for your lower abs. Aim for 3 to 6 weekly sets of 12-25 controlled reps.
Planks: A cliche for a reason - works the whole core. Shoot for 2 to 4 weekly sets of maximum time.
Palloff presses: A superb way to train your obliques and core without spinal stress. Aim for 4 to 8 weekly sets of 15 to 20 paused reps.

Matters Of Excellence

#1 - The One Piece of Advice I'd Give if I Died Today

Never get lost in the details of life.

Work, romantic partners, friends, family, hobbies, passions, studies, etc are all secondary.

The most important thing is your Depth of Being - in every second of existence.

The only actual reality is the current moment - which arises and passes. Arises and passes. Arises and passes.

Breathe slow and deep into your belly.

Feel the calm awareness welling up from deep within? That’s you.

The Real You.

Identity, personality, beliefs, opinions, thoughts, self-image... They’re all ego constructs.

The timeless Awareness that observes everything without reacting - that’s You.

The Real You.

Root yourself in that awareness and observe the drama of your ego, mind, body, and word as it unfolds.

Life isn’t a war or even a game...

It’s a drama you’re witnessing.

The destination IS the path.

Unlocking peak clarity, productivity, and gratitude in 2 minutes a day, it's the physical (upgraded) version of the viral 2-Minute Journaling Notion Template.

I had earlier said the price would hike once we cross 100 orders - well, we're only 5 orders away!

With 27 processed orders from India and 68 from the rest of the world, we're already at 95 orders!

Only 5 orders before I (most likely) will hike the price...

Order Before the Price Hikes

P.S. By the time this email reaches you, the last 5 orders might be over - so I'll reserve a special 12-hour buffer so you don't miss out. Use it while you can.
