The Weekly Upgrade #6
Sharing what I learn, a social media break, & the power of consistency
Happy Monday!
This week’s newsletter has an added component. Besides sharing a book recommendation, a weekly challenge, and a thought to ponder, I will also be sharing one thing I’ve learned in the past week. I hope you find it interesting! Feel free to respond and share anything that you’ve learned as well.
A Book Recommendation
Educated, by Tara Westover
This is a fascinating memoir of a girl who was brought up in a difficult environment but managed to rise above her challenges through sheer grit. It will help you put your problems in perspective and make you feel a profound sense of gratitude for the life you are living.
A powerful story, beautifully written.
Something I learnt
Most articles are shared before they are entirely read
In this fascinating article by Michael Simmons, I learned about ‘value hooks’ and the crucial role they play in the social media landscape.
If you’re looking to improve the reach of your posts, I strongly recommend reading it.
A Weekly Challenge
Spend an entire day without Social Media
No Twitter, no Instagram, no Facebook, no Snapchat, no TikTok.
You’ll probably have at least 2 extra hours to spend doing other things. It will be life changing. I’m going to do this on Wednesday. Pick your day, and give it a shot. Report back to me if you thought it was useful?
A Thought to Ponder
If you spent the next 100 days the way you spent today, where would you be?
I wish you a wonderful week ahead.
