Hi Reader, RecommendationsThis week's recommendations will help you get better in many different aspects of life. The Most Important Thing to Do When You’re Overwhelmed by Matt Norman. I've learned how to do this for most of what I do. It keeps me focused and less stressed. Don't skip this one. You Need to Be Bored. Here’s Why by Arthur C. Brooks. This article affirms something I've known intuitively. So much so, that I consciously avoid taking out my phone when I'm waiting in line, riding a shuttle or when I have a few minutes of downtime.

That's it for this week. Thanks for reading. Peace, Jack P.S. If you are new to Two for Tuesday, you can read previous editions HERE. P.P.S.

Because it IS better to give than receive. Except when it’s not...
