Video games are fun to play. But as you get older, the number of responsibilities rises. There is not that much time for gaming. Your 9-5 job / business takes that much time of your day. What I have found to channel my interest in gaming is to treat my life (and my work) as a video game. Here are the ways that helped me to treat life as a game and might be useful to you as well: 1. Time-blocking activities in a calendar. Not only work but also fun activities. It is fun to watch a calendar filled with activities. You can even make them sound interesting. (For example: Slaying the dragon: create video for my youtube channel). 2. Having a to-do list app. It is similar to completing quests in a video game. 3. Setting clear goals. Achieving your goals is like beating a boss in a video game. 4. Enjoying the Storyline. Embrace life’s ups and downs as part of an epic narrative, finding meaning in the journey like a game plot. Not everything worked out as you wanted? At least you have a good story to tell now. 5. Treating your failures in life as gaining experience. By analyzing what went wrong and making conclusions, you are able to improve yourself. Did you spend time on creating video for Youtube but not that many views? Do not worry, you are working on your sword (your skills) to create best video ever (slay the dragon). What about you? Do you have your ways of treating life as a video game?

This week is the transition between Q3 and Q4. Still can't believe how much happened in just 3 months. After chatting with @Avatar Daan, I read "The 12 Week Year" and realized we can do more in 12 weeks than most do in 12 months. This is especially true on Skool since it accelerates our growth and progress. At least that is what it feels like when I look at others who are still trapped in the social media world. Here, we are all working together, and if someone learns something, we all learn the same lesson. That is why I am taking this weekend to reflect on the last quarter. I want to make sure to record the lessons so I can still remember them in the years to come. It’s also a great time to plan ahead because the more we understand the past, the better we can predict the future. Celebrations don't have to be flashy with hundreds of people. Sometimes the best celebrations are quiet and reflective. It is also a great way to rest and recharge. Next quarter is going to get busy. Q4 tends to be one of the best quarters for business. - With the weekly calls, we can connect and get to know each other better. - With the audiobooks, we can listen to an epic story while changing the world. - With the networking challenges, we can support each other and share opportunities. That is how I am celebrating the end of Q3. By reflecting, planning ahead and also doing a spa day. How are you celebrating? Bonus points for dropping your personal highlights of Q3 in the comments.
