--- I’m surprised I’ve been able to keep this up for 3 weeks :o Cheers to WW, a sacred time where I share the resonating links, reflections and learnings from my past week to influence your next one ;) ### **✨** In My Life I’ve virtually neglected my social life for the past few weeks, so I made up for it by chilling with friends and cousins :D Although I failed my daily routines and weekly goals, I realized something valuable: [[Positive psychology]] Maybe spending every waking hour being productive and chasing money via the [[Hustle Culture]] isn’t the most optimal route to life. Sure you can absolutely smash your goals and live a financially secure life, but what ultimately matters is long-term consistency rather than burnout.

I signed up for their [newsletter](https://80000hours.org/book-giveaway/) and got shipped a free book ;) ### **🚀** Trying New Things Just some personal experiences and firsts ;) Nothing related to productivity though… ### **🤔** Food For Thought One of my computer science professors would always end their emails with the question: _Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?_
