I don’t usually plug email spam, but this you’ve got to see.
James Clear, writer of Atomic Habits, has a weekly newsletter where he delivers 3 quotes from himself, 2 quotes from others, and 1 inspiring, actionable question.
The quotes are all short, to the point, and, quite frankly, great. The question usually has me thinking about how I can improve my life.
Here are some examples:

Make it easy enough and simple enough that you’ll do it even when you don’t feel very motivated.– James Clear

However, giving one topic your full attention for an extended period of time is even harder than it seems.
Over a long timeline, the bottleneck is usually attention not ability.– James Clear
It’s better to be alone than to spend time with toxic people.
It’s better to do nothing than to work on something that doesn’t matter.
It’s better to rest than to climb the wrong mountain.– James Clear
