Happy 3-2-1 Thursday!
Here are 3 ideas, 2 quotes, and 1 question to consider this week...
3 Ideas From Me
I.
"If you're having trouble sticking to a new habit, try a smaller version until it becomes automatic. Do less than you're capable of, but do it more consistently than you have before."
II.
"It's remarkable how often the real problem is not what happened, but how it was communicated."
III.
"There are at least 4 types of wealth:
Financial wealth (money)
Social wealth (status)
Time wealth (freedom)
Physical wealth (health)
Be wary of jobs that lure you in with 1 and 2, but rob you of 3 and 4."

How should you measure your days? It's easy to measure your days in dollars earned or tasks completed, but there are other units of measurement to consider:
What would you do today if you wanted to maximize laughter?
What would you do today if you wanted to maximize time outside?
What would you do today if you wanted to maximize peace of mind?
What unit of measurement serves you best right now?
