4 hobbies that genuinely changed my life in interesting ways + a few lessons 👇
💻 Coding & web design

My primary source of excitement as a teenager (#nerd). I started with freelance stuff and still dabble with code on my website aliabdaal.com.

Lesson: coding helps unlock your brain in an interesting way e.g I see business ideas everywhere :p
🎸 Playing music

I thought I'd be cool and all the girls would love me if I played an instrument. So I learnt to play the piano and guitar with @justinsandercoe

Takeaway: you can learn whatever the hell you want on the internet if you really want to.

📝 Article

The Art and Science of Spending Money ( @morganhousel).

It includes 13 insights on how and why people spend their money.

Eg The more you were snubbed when you were poor, the more you enjoy displaying your wealth.

Here’s a thread of every item in my portable productivity setup for remote work.

Hopefully you can get some inspiration for your own remote work desk setup too 🧵
💻 Macbook Pro

My daily driver is the trusty 14-inch Macbook Pro with the M1 Pro processor, 32GB of RAM and a 1TB solid state drive - this is good enough for basically everything I need to do.
📓 @Leuchtturm1917 notebook

I’ve really been enjoying journaling recently and it’s been great for thinking more strategically about my business and my life.

Plus, the journal also sometimes acts as my personal therapist.

Here’s a quick tip that’ll make you more productive.

Every morning before you start work, ask yourself a simple question - What is today’s adventure going to be? 🧵 1/5
This has 2 benefits. First, it helps you figure out what main thing you actually want to get done that day so you can be more intentional about how you’re spending your time. 2/5
And second, the framing of ‘adventure’ helps you approach it in the spirit of **play**. You’re basically asking yourself ‘what’s my most important task’ but you’re doing it in a way that reminds your brain not to treat it too seriously. 3/5

I spoke to @max_fosh about his journey as a YouTuber.

This is his formula for creating a banger video👇
@max_fosh 1 - Story

“It’s all story. You've got to set out your why at the very beginning.”

Stories are engaging and memorable.

If you want people to care about what you’re doing, tell them why it’s important.
@max_fosh 2 - Take the audience with you

“I think my audience enjoys the feeling that they're doing this thing with me.”

Once you’ve told your audience why what you’re doing is important, take them on a journey.

Let them see the ups and downs of what you’re doing and thinking.
