A digital nomad is an entrepreneur or remote worker who leverages technology to conduct business from anywhere with a stable internet connection. Unlike traditional employees tied to a physical office, digital nomads embrace location independence, traveling and working simultaneously. This lifestyle is facilitated by the rise of the gig economy, cloud-based software, and advancements in mobile communication.

Digital nomads come from diverse professions, including web developers, writers, virtual assistants, social media managers, and consultants. Their work can involve fixed projects, freelance contracts, or running their own online businesses. The key is the ability to deliver services or products remotely, with minimal physical presence required.

The digital nomad lifestyle offers flexibility, freedom, and the ability to explore new cultures. However, it also comes with challenges like maintaining a consistent work schedule across time zones, finding reliable internet access while traveling, and establishing a sense of community.

Overall, digital nomads represent a growing segment of the workforce, redefining traditional work structures and embracing a location-independent approach to business.

5 Steps to Business Habit Stacking

STEP 1
Identify 1-3 key habits you want to focus on developing that will have the biggest positive impact on your business. These should be habits that are relatively easy to implement but provide high value such as daily planning, delegating tasks or networking. Focus on habits that are specific, measurable actions you can take each day to make progress towards your goals.

STEP 2
Choose an existing daily habit you already have as an anchor. This could be making your bed, taking your vitamins or checking email. The anchor habit should be something quick and easy you already do daily. Picking an anchor you already do each morning or evening will help cue the new habits without adding extra effort.

STEP 3
Immediately follow your anchor habit with one of the key habits you identified. For example, if your anchor is checking email in the morning, follow it with taking 10 minutes to plan your day. Doing the new habit right after the anchor will help the cues become associated over time.

STEP 4
Repeat the key habit daily, right after your anchor habit, until it becomes a routine. It may take 21-30 days for a new habit to stick so be patient and consistent. Don't try to build multiple habits at once. Staying focused on one habit at a time will help it to form more successfully without overload.

STEP 5
Once the first key habit is a routine, add the second by stacking it after your anchor and initial habit. For example, your routine is now check email > plan your day > delegate one task. Continue stacking until all your key habits are locked in. Stacking new habits onto existing routines helps you develop multiple productive habits efficiently.

A.不同的人说一样的话效果可能不同     
B.老师的讲话一定会赢得掌声
C.大学时不喜欢听老师讲话           
D.嘘声是给所有老师的



文本：
	同样一些话，出自不同人的口，有时会产生截然不同的效果。在大学课堂上，同一句话，有的教师讲出会赢得掌声，有的教师讲出则会招来嘘声。原因主要在于，前者已经用自己的行为为自己赢得了讲话的资格，而后者却没有。

Tip 42  Drill into procrastination by figuring out why you procrastinate 

“For years now, I've dreamed about taking an adventure in Vietnam, and I feel like I’m finally ready to take the plunge! I would be super excited to explore the lush jungles, cruise the bustling cities, and experience the unique culture of this vibrant country.

I’d definitely want to go on this adventure with my best buddy John, as he’s also really into travel and adventure, as well as always up for anything.

I would really like to get out and experience all that Vietnam has to offer. I would love to be able to climb the incredibly beautiful limestone cliffs of Halong Bay, which I’ve seen on a few different documentaries, and is on the top of my bucket list. 

Another adventurous thing I’d really want to try would be scuba diving in the gorgeous coral reefs, as well as relaxing on some of the stunning beaches. I'm sure I would also be able to enjoy some amazing local food, and maybe even take a few cooking classes. As well as that, I’d also love to learn more about the fascinating history of the country.

I guess I would be a little nervous about the whole trip, but I’d also be very eager to get out there and explore. I'm sure there would be some bumps along the way, but hey, that would be all part of the adventure. I'm always ready to step out of my comfort zone and embrace the unknown.

I'm so looking forward to having an epic adventure in Vietnam one of these days, and I'm sure it would be an incredible experience and I’d have so many wonderful stories to share with everyone back home. I'm sure it won't be long before I'm actually packing my bags and hitting the road!


Thank you.”
