For those who are consistently trying to hack a bit more time for yourself, and get more done with your life, you guys will have no doubt come across the 8-8-8 principle: which helps you segment your time into thirds. 24 Hours => 8 Hours for Work | 8 Hours for You | 8 hours for Sleep Now this all sounds glamorous in theory, and, of course, incredibly simple… like how could we not have done this from the start?

It’s been quite a long time since I bought really upscale headphones. I’ve always been a Bowers and Wilkins fan, so when I heard they released a wireless pair that had all the great build and sound quality - I naturally wanted them. The thing that stopped me from going for them straight away - was the price tag. Don’t get me wrong, you do pay for quality, but the price tag was something that I thought: I need to go out and test them out first before I go and fork out the money.

There have been a number of these cool digital Challenger banks coming along. As with one great product, there will always be a competitor for that product. I.e. iOS vs Android, Coke vs Pepsi… in the modern age I would consider Starling as one of the big challenger banks out there. Followed by Monzo. There are certainly a number of them (Revolut, N26 etc) however I would consider Starling and Monzo to be the big banks out there now, similar to HSBC vs Lloyds.

In a few months time, at the time of writing this post, I will be celebrating my millionth second alive (30th). I felt that now was a great time to reflect on the things, specifically things that I appreciate more as I grow older. It’s nice looking back at these things over time, and realising: what I enjoyed 10 years ago, I may not anymore, and vice versa. So here is a list of some of the things I enjoy the older that I get:
