First time reading? Let’s get you in the club.
I had to travel out of town unexpectedly this week, so I’m mixing things up. For Club Members, I’m sorry I don’t have an audio voiceover this week. I do have a ten-question quiz based on topics I’ve covered in my newsletters. It’s time to find out who's been paying attention. The answers are at the end of the newsletter.

The Daily Habit is where I share my habits related to the fundamentals: sleep, diet, physical activity, mindfulness, and stress management.
Use Jim Kwik’s F.A.S.T. method to learn anything faster and more effectively:
FORGET what you know about the topic. You have to empty your cup before you can fill it. Forget about the other things going on in your life when you sit down to learn. Finally, forget about your limitations. All behavior is belief-driven.
Be ACTIVE with what you are learning. Focus on establishing habits to make it a regular activity.
All learning is STATE-dependent. Information combined with emotion becomes a long-term memory. Pay attention to the state of your mind and body while you are learning.
TEACH the information to someone else. Find a partner with whom you can teach new skills, and you’ll learn twice.
