📜 Quote of the week
Life is about having fun, sometimes we forget it.
One of the best ways to have fun is by doing things for the sake of doing them, for the sake of enjoyment.
When we do things on a schedule or on a todo list it can put us under pressure and suck out all the enjoyment. So, learn to do things without a completion date in mind.
😄 Cool person I encountered this week
Brajeshwar Oinam
I found Brajeshwar through his "Notes Site", more specifically his list of Awesome Articles.
He has a very interesting set of products, and a pretty interesting story, which you can checkout here, if you are curious.
🐦 Tweet of the week
fun side effect of putting the kids in swim team: no more time for tv 😆

come home from school, eat dinner, swimming pool then playground with pool friends, showers, read, bed
This was super relevant for me, as I have a son and I share the sentiment of less screen time == more active child.
