1. Quote I’ve been pondering this week “The only people who get paid enough, get paid what they’re worth, are people who don’t follow the instruction book, who create art, who are innovative, who work without a map. That option is now available to everyone, so take it.” – Seth Godin
2. Your smart phone can give apps your location and journeys even when location services is turned off. This article has been a fascinating read for me as I hadn’t considered the other sensors in our phones being put to different uses. I imagine, over time privacy settings will change inline with this find. For now if you think your location privacy is safe with settings on your phone set to off think again.
3. As a family we’ve been building a system for our evening meal. We’ve been refining and polishing over the last 18 months and it’s working great! The foundation for each meal is a roasted food base, like veg (can include meat) and a sauce. Every meal is quick to produce, tasty and nutritious. I’ve shared my favourite Buddha bowl before. A newer favourite is sweet and sour sauce, this one comes from a great recipe book called forks over knives. Sharing below and breaking all sorts of copyright laws. Enjoy!
4. Regular readers know how much I value continuous learning. So when I found this article distilling 2 of my favourite principles for living I couldn’t believe it. It’s well written and if you do read and decide to embrace them in your life, overtime you will see a positive difference.
5. In my role at Unity I’m being challenged regarding my essentialist practices. My responsibilities cover a breadth of areas and teams, and with the hot weather the office is reaching that calescent point where even my shoes are off during the day in order to keep my feet cool.
Focusing with sweat on my forehead, deciding what’s essential and saying no to the non essential is harder than ever. So it was refreshing when I came across Tim Ferriss’ latest podcast where he shares a Greg McKeown Essentialism chapter on saying ‘No’. It’s episode 328 here, it’s 55 minutes long and worth listening too to learn how to say no the decent way.
