Read faster to maintain focus and reduce distractions
If you get distracted while reading, it's likely because you are reading too slowly, which starves your brain of stimulus and causes it to seek distraction elsewhere.
Play table tennis to boost brain health and coordination
According to Dr. Daniel Amen, table tennis is the number one physical activity for the brain because it enhances reaction time, speed, and hand-eye coordination.
Pursue harmony over balance for a fulfilling life
Instead of striving for a stressful life balance, aim for harmony, where different life areas contribute unequally but create a beautiful symphony.

Using your finger as a visual pacer while reading can immediately increase your reading speed by 25-50% or more.
Ask three questions to transform knowledge into action
To turn knowledge into action, ask three questions while learning: "How can I use this?", "Why must I use this?", and "When will I use this?".
Create friction to break bad habits
Make undesirable behaviors harder to do by intentionally creating friction, such as using a slow TV that takes minutes to load streaming services.
