ADVICE

Read Happy To Challenge Goal Chasing

  • Read Happy by Derren Brown if you want a sceptical challenge to goal-chasing and self-help optimism.
  • Jonny finished it on a flight feeling less convinced that achievement delivers happiness, and more persuaded that stories shape satisfaction.
ADVICE

Use Dropbox As A Shared Business File Hub

  • Use Dropbox when multiple people need current files without emailing versions back and forth.
  • Chris stores artwork, photos, and podcast assets in shared folders so staff always pull the latest file from the same place.
ADVICE

Use The Eisenhower Matrix To Prioritise Better

  • Use the Eisenhower Matrix to classify tasks by urgency and importance before reacting to every incoming demand.
  • Jonny says Focus Matrix forces you to justify each task, while Yusef says it solved his bigger problem of prioritising rather than procrastinating.
