Sunday Thinking
"Your work ethic is developed and defined when no one is watching. Work ethic is not a talent or a skill. It's built one commitment at a time. It's built one choice at a time ― until choice becomes habit."
The weekly Sunday Thinking newsletter is quick-hit content that aims to provide a booster shot to your thought process as you end and start your week.
"Living for other people, waiting on others to see you, to value you, to reciprocate the love and energy you offer, will drain you. Set boundaries. Be intentional. And love yourself enough to know when to let go of what is no longer meeting you where you are."
I. The 'Someday' Disease
The 5-Step Method for how to stop procrastinating:
Awareness — become aware you are procrastinating.
Deconstruction — break the big into the small.
Plan Creation — create a real plan of attack.
Stake Creation — establish public stakes.
Action — create initial movement.
"Someday" is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. ― Tim Ferriss

Bringing energy
Working hard
Being coachable
Putting the team first
Cheering on teammates
Challenging yourself
Staying positive
Doing extra
What is your separating factor in a world full of talent, and how bad do you want it?
III. A Lifelong Project
Here are 3 simple rules in life:
If you do not go after what you want, you’ll never have it.
If you do not ask, the answer will always be no.
If you do not step forward, you’ll always be in the same place.
"Life does not begin when everything is perfect. It does not start when you think you're worthy. It's happening right now. You are not anywhere but where you are supposed to be, because there is nowhere else to be. The idea that you might have to earn your way into the life that is already yours is an illusion. We do not create ourselves once and then never again, we are a lifelong project, an ever-shifting, continual blossoming." ― Brianna Wiest
IV. What We’re Excited About
This little known productivity app is the secret of silicon valley high achievers
You need to create the atomic habits that propel you towards achieving your goals. You need a daily system. Todo apps fail to do this.
Sunsama helps you execute proven methods such as timeboxing by pulling in your emails and calendar events as tasks. It integrates with your tools such as Notion, Asana, Trello, and a lot more. Users call it “the last productivity app you’ll ever need”... and they’re not kidding!
V. Question
Do you want to be a prisoner of your past or a pioneer of your future?
VII. This Week, I Will
Let my intuition guide me.
Slow down to think more clearly.
Release the fear of the unknown.
Make my mental health a priority.
Log off my screen and into my life.
The Last Words…
"To anyone reading this and feeling stuck in life, feeling stuck in a job, feeling stuck in a bad relationship, feeling stuck in old bad habits, feeling stuck in seemingly unbreakable cycles—if you are being called to change and shift into a new direction, look up. Take your power back. Set your own table by creating the life you want. By allowing baby steps to matter just as much as the big steps. We can decide to do things differently. It doesn't matter if it's about our career, our relationships, how we eat, think, or raise our kids—each shift and change into growth heals, not only ourselves but generations to come after us."
