Hi friends,

I hope your 2024 is off to a great start and that your new healthy habits are going well. I’m back with my usual content this week of things I’m trying out and experimenting with. As always, feel free to forward this to friends and family.

Pocket notebook I’m using

Leuchtturm1917 A6 (Black, Dotted). I’m digging the analog note-taking method. Now, when I go to take a walk, I leave the phone at home and bring along this notebook with a pen. I find that my best thoughts come about when I’m walking in nature with no distractions or notifications. This notebook feels like quality and makes jotting down ideas just a little bit more enjoyable.

Article I just finished writing

“What’s in my Bag.” I just posted this article. I’m intentional with each purchase and item I carry in my bag. If you’re looking for ideas on what you should keep in your bag when you leave the house, look no further.

Gym I’m trying out

UFC Gym Wrigleyville. It’s been a few months since I’ve had a gym membership, and the process of finding a quality gym in Chicago is harder than I thought it would be. Luckily, this gym has tons of weights and machines that I’m looking forward to using. It’s an added bonus that it is located across the street from Wrigley Field.

Quote I’m contemplating

“Calm is contagious.”

—Navy SEALs

Word of the week

Soliloquy: the act of talking to oneself.

Until next week,
