Hello and Welcome!

Welcome back to Easlo's newsletter. Every week, I curate actionable tips to help supercharge your productivity and growth.

It’s hard to focus when your things are piled up or spread across your room.

An organized space is more pleasing to your senses, helping you feel calmer rather than anxious.

Make it a routine to tidy up your desk the night before.

To go further, remove distractions like screens from your workspace by storing them away or placing them in another room.

The only thing you gain from mindlessly scrolling on your phone for hours is regret.

I don’t blame you.

Social media, games, and entertainment apps on your phone are designed to keep you hooked.

But you can take action, and there are many ways to do so. From simply turning off notification to customizing your home screen for efficiency.

We constantly hear opinions and judgments from friends, family, strangers, and people on the internet.

Are you absorbing too much and thinking too little?

Decluttering your mind means learning to think for yourself.

I'm not suggesting you shut yourself off from others, but rather that you learn to control your mind instead of letting external factors control you.

You can start today with activities like journaling, meditating, or taking a walk alone.

I have to admit, I installed custom icons for the aesthetic.

But the reason I kept them is for the serenity they bring to my homescreen.

These simple and colorless icons reduce my urge and instinct to click into distracting apps.
