Health/Wellness 

 

Foods combining high fat and high carbs don’t exist in nature, but our brain loves them.  They also make you unhealthy. 

Money 

 

If you are like me, you grew up with the 3Rs.  They’ve now been replaced with many more Rs – kind of cool.  Rethink, refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, rehome, recycle, rot.  As a random environmental idea, consider using bamboo paper towels – you won’t notice a difference, the price is right, and you’re saving trees… 

 

 

I really like this Twitter thread on how few successful people are happy.  The traits the author deems to matter: 

 

1)    Living modestly 

2)    Committed long-term relationships 

3)    Fitness 

4)    Passion projects 

5)    A generous spirit 

6)    The ability to say no
