    How to fix poor attention to detail and focus?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Thanks, all. Another interesting topic that recently came to my attention is written about by Johann Hari in Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention - And How to Think Deeply Again.

    Copywriting ideas for mundane objects

    MARKETING 
    @MJ DeMarco mentioned a fascinating website called significantobjects.com in one of his books.

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Finished it, and starting on Unscripted. It's clearly a fantastic book, as it's common sense and stuff I already "knew," to a degree, from reading other business books but packaged and explained in a way that's caused a complete shift in my worldview. There's a reason for all the fanatical...
