Funny Video I enjoyed:

Ryan Reynolds showing you how to create the best slides

→ Check out the easter eggs on his desktop!

Short read I found helpful for WFH:

How to Unplug when working from home

→ Very helpful reading on unplugging while working from home!

1. Switch your context

2. Create a Shutdown Ritual

3. Change your energy

Valuable bits of Unsolicited advice

68 Bits of Unsolicited Advice

→ This is a repeat from last week because I’ve found myself reading and re-reading it a few of times this week!

→ Who doesn’t like advice, especially unsolicited advice. Right?

→ Wired’s Kevin Kelly turned 68 this week and decided to give us some great pointers (68 to be accurate). A lot of real gems in there!

“Being enthusiastic is worth 25 IQ points”

“Be prepared: When you are 90% done any large project (a house, a film, an event, an app) the rest of the myriad details will take a second 90% to complete”

“Anything real begins with the fiction of what could be. Imagination is therefore the most potent force in the universe, and a skill you can get better at. It’s the one skill in life that benefits from ignoring what everyone else knows”

-Kevin Kelly in 68 Bits of Unsolicited Advice

Thought-provoking read on the gap between the economy and the market:

The market v the real economy

→ This is a question that I’ve been having for a while now — “why is the stock market reacting in such a positive way given the humungous pressure the economy is under and things not looking positive for the near future”?

Here’s the link to the reddit thread with the same post if you’re too lazy to signup for an account — Link

Interesting video on Investing in the times of Covid-19:

→ How to think about investing in these times when the stock market is so far detached from the state of the economy and we’re all expecting a catastrophic crash soon!

Bonus :

Amazing photos of beautiful US National Parks to visit in the future!
