How to practice mindfulness (without meditating):
When you hear the word "mindfulness" you probably think of this:

∙ Eyes closed
∙ Legs crossed
∙ Sitting under a tree or next to a waterfall

But did you know that none of this is neccesary?
Meditation is a great way to practice mindfulness.

But it's not the only way.

In fact, most of my favorite mindfulness practices don't involve meditating.

Warren Buffett is worth 105 billion USD.

He's a master of focusing on the things that bring him the greatest returns in life—so how does he do it?

The "2 List" Rule:
1. Write down your top 25 goals (career or otherwise).

Note: This can be applied to shorter timelines. For example, top 25 goals for the month.
2. Review your list and circle the top 5 goals.

This is important.

Consider deeply which of these goals would have the biggest impact on your life.

1 in 3 adults don't get enough sleep.

Here are 5 proven methods to fall asleep (in 10 minutes or less):
Sleep matters.

A lot.

A 2018 study showed that people who sleep less than 7 hours per night are 19% less productive.

And sleeping only 6 hours has a similar effect on your brain as drinking 2 beers.
The 4-7-8 Method

1. Breathe in through your nose for a 4-second count.

2. Hold your breath for a 7-second count.

3. Exhale for an 8-second count, making a "whoosh" sound through pursed lips.

4. Repeat up to four times, twice per day.
