TRAVEL: WHY EVERYONE SHOULD TRAVEL SOLO AT LEAST ONCE
As scary as it may seem, traveling alone can actually be rewarding. It allows you to rediscover (or newly discover) the joys of your own company and boost your self-assuredness – qualities that may remain dormant in the commotion of everyday life. There is something satisfying about sitting with yourself and doing whatever you desire, whenever you desire.

WORK LIFE: GOPRO TO CUT TOTAL WORKFORCE BY 4%
GoPro announced a restructuring plan which involves a global workforce reduction, mainly to reduce office space (and operating costs). The company expects to acquire ~$2M in costs related to layoffs + $3.3M for office space reduction. This strategy is following a report where GoPro declined revenue for the past six quarters (btw a quarter is a 3 month period) and a $2 million loss in Q4 2022.WUI-5ILUFWRY59

LIFESTYLE: DEATH OF THE NUCLEAR FAMILY
The traditional American nuclear family as we know it — a married husband and wife, 2.5 kids and a golden retriever — is on the decline. By 2021 only about 37% of adults were living like this. With a decrease in birth rates and the number of people getting married, along with an increase in divorce, there is no certainty of what the future family dynamic looks like.

By practicing how to resist impulse decisions, you’ll have more control over your actions and emotions.
