Take It Easy...Intentionally 😎
Dear Co-x3 Community,
This week, I want to correct a misconception - being intentional does not mean you should be taking life too seriously.
Major updates! 
It's been a fantastic week for our community - here are some highlights:
•
We held an exclusive tight-knit Q&A session on Saturday for patrons of the Co-x3 community! Excited members learned about new approaches to planning, notion formulas, how to upgrade your super packages, and much more during the 1.5 hour session. Summary video to come!
•
If you want to learn how to easily upgrade your templates to the latest and greatest, you can check out this resource for the full details.
•
+2 Patrons! Thank you Borislav and Linda. With your support, we can release quality content more regularly, and provide special and customized perks for supporters like you! Thank you so much!
•
Reminder: As a launch bonus, we are offering an exclusive 'super package' for patrons that unlocks one-click duplication for dozens of practical templates and frameworks; maintaining the complex relations between the various databases, offering a seamless experience.This week's honest sharing
Every week, I am deeply honest about important topics.
Thinking Out Loud: Being Intentional =/= Taking Yourself Too Seriously
The intention behind being intentional (pun intended) is for us to always keep in mind that we are the ones in control of our destiny, and not to let the world drag us along with her whims. However, I do not want this idea to be misunderstood as to nitpick over every little aspect of life and agonize over every decision. Rather, it is through being intentional in our thoughts, feelings, and actions, that we can look past the little things in life and focus on what really matters. Truly, the core of this philosophy is to understand why we do the things we do - and be honest about the variables we can truly control. That, to me. is the fundamental step to understanding the meaning of our lives.
What I've been resonating with
Constant learning is an important part of your growth journey, and I try to read as much as I can to learn as fast as I can. Every week, I'll share key insights from the best pieces of content I digest.

•
This is a great quote showcasing why it's extremely important to be intentional. If you deeply question why you are doing things like slaving away at a job or career you dislike, are you telling yourself that it is because you want to live a good life by retiring wealthy?
•
If that is truly your goal, then would you waste 5 days a week doing something you dislike? Are you working to only enjoy 30% of your life? What can you be doing differently to service the true goals you have?

We are going to be lonelier and lonelier as we grow older (statistically), and we need to take appropriate steps now to combat that.
•
Be aware of how you are behaving - are you making it hard for yourself to make new connections, and strengthen existing connections?
•
Examples include: Do not wear earphones if you want to have interactions at the gym, bus stop, etc. Go to meetups with people of the same interest so you can continuously build a network of people that enjoy the same things you do. Write down things that your friends show interest in so when it comes time for their birthday, you already have a list of potential, thoughtful gifts.
Things to look forward to
•
Insights derived from our Co-x3 Exclusive LIVE Q&A and Walkthrough session will be translated into 2 youtube videos to be released soon. I'll be covering how to upgrade your super packages (in minutes), a deep dive into how badges work, how you can customize your own, how to add new players into your workspace, & more! More written guides to come too!
•
By popular request, I will be releasing an updated "How I use notion" video, showing how all my different templates connect for me to live a meaningful and intentional life - and most importantly, how I run my life simply with 3 core views.
•
I'm working on tools for businesses to bring gamification into their organizations to connect better with their remote teams, more details to come this week. Keep an eye out on my twitter to be the first to know!
Prompt for the week
