Let’s do this … here are the newest top ten resources that will help you live your best life.
We’ll kick things off with a topic we’ve covered before — fake productivity. All that matters is what you accomplish, not how hard you work, right?
Yeah, well … humans are weird. Others want you to have worked hard for them to feel like they’re getting value (even when that has nothing to do with it), and you might apply the same false standard to yourself.
Consider this:

When Quitters Win
“Grit is good. At least, that’s the advice most college counselors, middle managers, Spelling-Bee coaches, and most anyone who’s ever advised someone will give you. What if it’s more important to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, and know when to walk away?”
