September

Thinking in Systems 🧠

Dear Co-x3 Family,
This week, we share about systems - how do they help us stay anchored and do our best work?
It's been a fantastic week for our community - here are some highlights:
We have a brand new space in our community - meet our Philosoraptor club, hosted by Shania! She's kickstarted a 366 daily stoic exercise challenge for those who want to learn about philosophy, perseverance, and the art of living based on the book by Ryan Holiday. For our daily challenge, we will be working on becoming not only a better version of ourselves but a better human-being overall by focusing on self-awareness and reflection on a daily basis.
We've upgraded to a Notion team plan for the Co-x3 Family so we can co-create and collaborate even more efficiently together on our latest initiatives! This is a special privilege for Co-x3 Family members only. In this workspace, we're also constantly building new resources for our family - such as our collaborative initiatives to save the world; or our sharing guidelines inspired when learning together on one of our onboarding calls with one of our brand new members, Zander.
It's that time of the month again, don't forget to update your daily quests in your template packages with the latest dates for September - instructions here! 😁 We also are starting a 30-day challenge for completing one milestone in your daily quests every day for the month of September (it can be 70% of all quests complete, doing reflections, etc.). If you're interested to power up with us, let us know!
Nadine (Dean) warmed our hearts this week when she shared her ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review about our family. Here's what she had to say.
I highly recommend life enthusiasts, productivity junkies, gamers, students, educators, professionals, developers, creators...anyone and everyone with the ability to share, to learn and to be inspired to join the community. The diversity of its members is but one of the unique aspects that enables the group to co-create, collaborate and fellowship in an unprecedented manner that’s an absolute blast! Would you run a marathon alone or together with a battalion? Even solo races are better when you’re being rooted on! That's where this supportive community of similarly invested growth mindset individuals truly shines! We can share insights and keep each other accountable and updated with the latest and the greatest tools to pocket, but even betterβ€”the mindset to expand the universe!
It's been an amazing journey, and we feel blessed every time we read a comment or receive a new email with such kind words - thank you so much for being awesome!
+9 patrons have joined our wall of love πŸ’•! Thank you Akshar, Candy, CourtGames, Craig, Dr. Nouman, Joshwin, Olivia, Roy, and Will! With your support, we can release quality content more regularly, and provide special and customized perks for supporters like you!
Every week, we are deeply honest about important topics.
This week on office hours, we explored the full scope of how we can use complex filters to build meaningful dashboards that do what YOU want to do. The overarching theme is - how to be as intentional as possible in our planning, but as simple as possible in our execution.
Here's a breakdown of EVERYTHING you need to have to plan for success. Using proven best practices from the most successful people in life, gain clarity on your personal goals, and learn how to achieve results to level up your life!
We're giving our youtube channel a facelift with generous help from our fellow family member Dan! We'll be rolling out new thumbnails and titles for all our videos over the next week. Keep an eye out and let us know what you think! πŸ˜„
This week, we had amazing deep discussions about leveraging intentional systems to help us re-orientate ourselves when we get lost, when procrastination may be a cure instead of a disease, and how do we stop holding ourselves back from delivering with copious amounts of planning.
Get an early glimpse into our MASSIVE super package breakdown document, breaking down all the unique features and intentional thinking behind our best templates.
Constant learning is an important part of your growth journey, and we try to read as much as we can to learn as fast as we can. Every week, we'll share key insights from the best pieces of content we digest.
