1% Better: How to Remember Everything You Read, 42 Things Everyone Should Learn to Do, and The Best Twitter Thread of 2025
Here's the truth about productivity tools: most of them don't stick. The exception for me? Wispr Flow. I've used it every single day for months, and it's actually changed how I work. Flow a voice-powered AI keyboard that turns whatever you say into clean, well-punctuated text. It works in Slack, Gmail, Notes, and anywhere else you write. Why I love it:
Try it out for free right now. A Twitter thread I'll be revisiting again and againThis Twitter thread went mega viral for good reason. I've seen dozens of these 'life lesson' lists, but this might be the most comprehensive one I've ever come across. Here are a few of my favorite bullets: 4. If you have a positive thought about someone, don’t keep it to yourself—share it immediately. Encouragement defies the laws of physics: When you give energy, you also receive it. 18. Spend lots of time in nature and touch the earth. Humans evolved over 300k years to live in harmony with nature, and only recently have we retreated indoors. If you don’t spend time outside, you’re fighting biology (hint: You won’t win.) 31. Invest in experiences, not things. People frequently regret buying things, but rarely regret investing in great experiences (especially when shared with loved ones). Remember, there’s nothing you can buy in a mall that you’ll remember in ten years. 38. Think globally, but act locally. Too many people put their energy into far-away problems they don’t understand and can’t impact, while ignoring problems right under their nose. Want to change the world? Start at home. 44. The goal is not to retire and do nothing, it’s to build a great day-to-day life that you don’t need to escape. A life of leisure is a slow death. Happiness isn’t possible without a little struggle, uncertainty, and skin in the game. 😂Have a great week! P.S. Reply telling me what resonated most this week! (I read and respond to them all)
