You know the feeling you get when you’re surrounded by your friends and family?
Or when you’re in a big crowd of fans cheering on the same team?
It’s a sort of happiness, comfort, support, and understanding, right?
Well, at least for me it is.
When you’re with your people, there’s a collective energy that’s hard to describe.

(I was going to call this “Evergreen Business Lessons from Evergreen Terrace” — but I figured not everyone would recognize Evergreen Terrace …
What work did you do yesterday? The day before?
Up until a month ago, I wouldn’t have had a good answer for you.
But now, I’m keeping track of what I get done each day, and it feels great. I first learned about this little mindset/productivity/work hack from Ari Meisel. (Remember Ari from The Side Hustle Show?).
He recommended an automated service called I Done This.
