Before my template + unhinged hacks, I have 2 asks for you:

1. If you know any companies (or work at a company) that needs advising for growth marketing or organization/documentation, please fill out this form: https://tally.so/r/w8xrBP

2. If you want a 60 min 1-on-1 call with me to help you organize your life, general advice, etc., book a time with me here (paid): https://calendly.com/vegantechnomad/60min

Thought you might like today’s sponsor - especially if you want to start your own business one day and learn more about marketing.

It’s a free newsletter, and clicking on sponsored links helps me a lot as a creator ❤️ 

Anti-procrastination template

In case you missed it last week (or on my Instagram), I made a to do list template on Notion. It’s based on the Eisenhower matrix, but includes a spot for self-care ❤️

Unhinged hack #1: sleep in tomorrow’s clothes

I wanted to maximize the amount of time I could sleep in for, so I just slept in my clothes for the next day.

That way, I can roll out of bed, grab breakfast I prepared the night before, and be out the door in 10 min (yes I timed it).

Unhinged hack #2: floss and brush your teeth in the shower

I used to never floss because I didn’t want to deal with the icky floss string.

But I got too many cavities 😭 so I started flossing and brushing my teeth in the shower (while washing my hair).

Unhinged hack #3: how I wake up early instead of pressing snooze for 1 hour

Note: this is not recommended for everyone, it took a few days/weeks of testing.

I drink 1 cup of water before bed, so by the time I need to get up in the morning, I’m forced to get out of bed instead of pressing snooze.

If you’re trying to fix your sleep, I recommend keeping your blinds/curtains open during the day so you can regulate your melatonin production.

Also sometimes I use the sleep calculator so even if I’m getting less than 8 hours, I don’t feel tired when I wake up.

Your feedback is appreciated ❤️ 

See you in your inbox again next Monday!
