đź“° 1. Article I Liked – “The Ultimate Productivity Hack Is Saying No”

Or as I put it, “The most productive thing you can do is say “No.”

James Clear is a great writer.

You’ve probably read Atomic Habits by now.

This one line from him says it all:

And I made some good money doing it.

This is me playing the digital card game Hearthstone in front thousands at BlizzCon in Los Angeles in 2017.

But, sadly, now I’m retired.

That doesn’t mean I still don’t like to throw down occasionally.

Anyways, I’m looking forward to playing Elden Ring when it comes out this weekend.
