If you’re new to my community, a warm welcome to you! I’m so happy you’ve decided to join us!
Happy Thursday!
Have you ever had one of those days where everything just seems to be falling into place?
I stayed up until after 1 a.m. last night working on the bonus for Gabby’s Akashic Records launch. I must’ve gone through over 100 texture packs looking for the right background to work with and nothing felt right. Finally I found one that I liked that worked with all the base colours, but it was too plain. So I stopped there and went to sleep. This morning when I woke up, I found the perfect overlay to add to get the effect I was wanting and was able to finish those bonuses off. If you bought yesterday, you’ll find the link to download in Gabby’s Bonus Links area.
In other news… it’s shaping up to be an exciting weekend here. First off, I got accepted into BC Stack this year so I’m really excited about that. And on a more personal note… my golf lessons start this Sunday, and I get to meet Shaun’s girlfriend this weekend as well. So I’m a little nervous and excited about both of those events.
All of that means I need to work extra hard today and tomorrow to get as much done as possible, because there won’t be a lot of work happening this weekend.
Today’s Read: Sleep and Productivity
Since last night was the first night I had a decent sleep in a week, and since I’m filled with energy and new ideas this morning, I thought we should talk a bit about sleep and productivity today.
Did you know that American businesses lose an estimated $60 billion of revenue yearly simply due to poor sleep. A Baltimore sleep study in 2018 found that those who received less than a whole night’s rest of 7 to 8 hours of sleep regularly had significant productivity loss.
Anywhere from 19 percent less for those who got five hours of sleep and up to 39 percent for those who got even less sleep – showing just how important even one to two hours of sleep can make.
The numbers got worse if the employee experienced insomnia, snored, or had sleep apnea. Poor sleep and other factors contributing to your health affect every part of your body and your business. It compromises your memory, decision-making and problem-solving skills, mood, performance, bone, organ health, and more.
Here are just a few ways that sleep affects your productivity in all areas of your life:
Burnout – Sleep deprivation is the number one cause of burnout. You must rest to expect your body to work at its best.
Lowering Your Life Expectancy – Being sedentary, not getting enough or getting too much sleep, and getting the wrong foods can ultimately lower life expectancy. You can significantly increase your life expectancy by fueling your body appropriately, exercising at least thirty minutes a day, and getting eight hours of uninterrupted sleep per night.
Memory Loss – When you get the right amount of sleep, you can improve your ability to remember things and learn. Sleeping well gives you the mental clarity to make better decisions and perform at your best.
Mistakes or Injuries – Sleep deprivation leads to mental and physical impairments that can cause poor decision-making and accidents that create significant consequences like lost revenue or, worse, your life.
So, what can you do to improve your sleep?
Pay attention to diet and exercise – As annoying as it is, always to hear this, exercise and diet are the most important if you want to get a whole night’s rest or live a healthy life. Most problems stem from a poor diet and exercise routine.
Avoid stimulants – You may be drinking too many cups of coffee in your morning, which is easily crossing over into your sleep time. Start reducing your coffee intake; no more than 2 cups a day or less.
Create a sleep routine that works for you – Pick a nighttime routine and set a time and stick to it. Eventually, your body acclimates, and you’ll soon want to go to bed without you even trying.
If you want to live your most productive life, feel better about yourself, your body, mental and physical well-being, you need sleep. Your business success and health depend on it.

New PLR: Overcome Imposter Syndrome
Imposter Syndrome is a huge issue for a lot of content producers and publishers. I know I’ve suffered from it most of my life, and it got even more pronounced when I started writing online. Who was I to tell people what I think and know. I’m a nobody! No one will listen to me! I’m getting better about sharing and not feeling like I don’t belong but there are still days.
That’s why I was so happy when I saw that Aurelius was releasing this package all about Overcoming Imposter Syndrome. This PLR package covers:
- Understanding imposter syndrome
- How to overcome imposter syndrome
- How to recognize imposter syndrome in children
- The easiest ways to manage the syndrome
- How to be kinder to yourself
- Why you should work on yourself
- Why you should abandon perfectionism
- Knowing when your work is good enough
- Learning not to rely on criticism
- Understanding your value at work
- Why you should track all your success
See everything that’s included here and pick up your copy for under $10 through June 14.
My Bonus Offer: I think this is such an important topic, and one that is really well suited to creating low-content planners and workbooks around that I decided at the last minute to create a bonus for you.
