Your Thursday Three Things for 9 May, 2024

Three things that reside at the intersection of wellness and leadership!

Hello everyone,

Jon Macaskill from Frogman Mindfulness and the Men Talking Mindfulness Podcast here, bringing you this week’s “Three Things” at the junction of leadership and wellness. As the days grow warmer (maybe colder for some in the southern hemisphere!) and the world around us blossoms into full spring, I want to talk about keeping our own growth in mind. It’s important to continually nourish both our leadership abilities AND personal well-being (and a reminder - these are not only not mutually exclusive, they’re essential to one another!).

This week, I've curated a selection of tools and ideas designed to enhance your productivity, mindset, and health.

As always, I’ll be sharing just a taste of this newsletter on LinkedIn and via email, but the full exploration is exclusively for my paid subscribers. If you’re not subscribed yet, click below to join our community for comprehensive insights and exclusive content.

Let’s get into it!

1. App Highlight: Forest - Stay Focused

For those of us looking to combat the pull of constant notifications and distractions, the Forest app offers a creative and delightful solution. This app helps you stay focused by planting a virtual tree which grows as you maintain focus on your task without checking your phone. If you leave the app to check something else, the tree withers away. It’s a great way to visually reinforce your dedication to tasks, and it adds a bit of fun to your productivity efforts. Perfect for leaders who want to lead by example in maintaining focus and productivity.
