Boosting pre-orders is important because the more orders we have, the more books that bookstores will stock, ensuring that we don’t run out of books in the first week.

It means the world to me that you are supporting something that I worked on for so long.

Talk soon.

My best,

iPhone 7: At Least Apple Is Willing to Try Something New

When the iPhone 7 was recently unveiled without the traditional headphone jack, they said they were able to develop it due to courage. But for courage to take place, there must first be a reason to take a step forward in the first place. So, how exactly were they courageous with the new iPhone 7 and was their ‘courage’ correctly placed on modifying the headphone jack?

These days, it is very rare that people leave ample time in their schedules to even think. This practice of filling each day to the brim may feel like productivity is taking place, but what’s really happening is exhaustion and eventual burnout. We must be careful that our lives aren’t all work, leaving no time to think of new ideas. If this is where you are at, you aren’t leaving room for creativity to take place, you aren’t leaving room for new ideas to come to you, and you aren’t leaving room for impacting people. When all of these things are absent, it’s impossible to live a better life.

So, if you are having trouble finding more time in your schedule, here are three ways to make more time to have new ideas:
