Hey everyone,
Hope you're having a great week. Here are a few things I've been reading and pondering lately. Enjoy!
1. Why Life Always Seems to Get More Complicated
This is one of those rare insights that provides relief instead of anxiety. A great read from James Clear.
It is the natural tendency of things to lose order. Left to its own devices, life will always become less structured. Sand castles get washed away. Weeds overtake gardens. Ancient ruins crumble. Cars begin to rust. People gradually age. With enough time, even mountains erode and their precise edges become rounded. The inevitable trend is that things become less organized.
2. How Blake Mycoskie Launched TOMS
I can't link directly to this, so just go to your podcast app and search for "How I Built This." This episode blew my mind.
3. Intercom on Startup Up
I've just started reading this and it's legit. Grab a hardcover for $10 or a PDF for free.
