better than eating at my desk

Hi there,

A reminder: Outside is more entertaining than 99.9% of what is being said online.

Five things to share:

  1. There are 4.66 billion active internet users around the world, and every 60 seconds, 500 hours of content are upload to YouTube, 21.1 million texts get sent, 200,000 people tweet, and 695,000 Instagram Stories are shared. Since there is no shortage of things being said online, when you have nothing to say, it is okay to say nothing.

    Nothing to say

  2. I have replaced video content with listening to so much good music. Music is 99.9% better than watching yet another YouTube video— Just vibin’ and feeling good. What have you been listening to lately?

  3. A quote I want to share with you:

    We don't suffer these days from any lack of communication, but rather from all the forces making us say things when we've nothing much to say.
    —Gilles Deleuze

  4. Adventures on two wheels: The best part about biking, other than the high from the endorphins after a long ride, is that you have to devote 100% of your attention to it.

  5. A challenge for you this week: Go on an adventure, or two (hehe), on two wheels, or two feet. Enjoy!

P.s. My adventure on two wheels.

That’s all for this week!

Thank you for reading, and please share with anyone you think may benefit.
