20 Habits Of Billionaires That You Can Do

Published

on

billionaires

According to billionaires, money is a byproduct of their daily habits. If this is true, they must have some amazing habits! Lucky for us, most billionaires today are self-made. They worked hard to get to where they are today. If so, there must be some things we can do to gain financial success. Here are some things billionaires do every day that you can do too.

1. Avoid Death

If you want to enjoy your money, avoid things that are bad for you. People do not become billionaires by spending all their money on junk food. According to studies, 70% of the rich eat less than 300 junk food calories per day compared to 97% of needy people who eat more than 300 junk food calories. 76% of the wealthy also exercise aerobically four days a week compared to 23% of the needy.

2. Practice Gratitude

When you’re stressed or angry, find things to be thankful for. This can be very hard but sometimes it’s best to see the silver lining.

3. 10 Ideas Per Day

Get into the habit of 10 ideas per day. Not all of them will come to fruition but some of them might. You never know unless you try it.

4. Plant Seeds

We’re not talking about a garden here but a seed that will turn into ideas, relationships or products someday. Write a thank you note, start an exercise routine, send ideas, eat well – you get the picture.

5. Learn To Say No

This can be hard for some people but if you learn how to say “No” you will have more time to read, learn, explore, sleep, spend time with family, work on ideas and many more.

6. No Excuses

Nothing ever good comes from blaming, complaining and explaining. Excuses take time and sometimes its action that you need.

7. Follow Warren Buffet’s 5/25 Rule

Write down 25 things you want to do with your life. When you’re done, go do the top 5. Forget about the other 20 because who has time to do all that? Focusing on the 5 will give you time to spotlight things that are important to you.

8. Don’t Rush

Success takes time; you can’t be an overnight success. It can take years to become a billionaire so be patient and celebrate small successes on the way.

9. Read

Read not only for learning but for relaxing too. Make it a habit to read at least 30 minutes a day every day.

10. Wake Up Early

Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Richard Branson are all early risers. Getting up early lets them work without disturbance or to exercise before they tackle everyday things.

11. Make Mistakes

You don’t need to be scared to make mistakes. They can be good teachers or serve as inspiration.

12. Sleep

Ever notice that you’re cranky when you’re sleep deprived? Sleep rejuvenates the brain and repairs brain cells and the body. Sleeping the appropriate number of hours per night and getting to a regular sleep pattern can boost productivity and make you happier.

13. Surround Yourself With People You Love

Surround yourself with family and friends. People that you love can help boost your confidence and inspire you to do better.

14. 1% a Day

1% a day is 3800% a year compounded. If you want to get better at something, do it 1% better each day. It’s a win-win situation.

15. Ask Questions

Brian Grazer, the producer behind Apollo 13 and Arrested Development liked to ask people questions. He would call up the Dalai Lama or Steve Jobs and have “curiousity conversations.” This is how he met Ron Howard and how they started Image Films which created the famous TV show Empire.

16. Stand Next To The Smartest Person In The Room

Steve Jobs did this by standing next to Steve Wozniak and Harold Raims did it by standing next to Bill Murray. The next is true with Kanye West (Jay-z). Stand next to the smartest person in the room and watch what they do.

17. Follow-Up

This is a habit that’s hard for shy people. Don’t be afraid to email and follow-up on that idea or nice to meet you email.

18. Be Single Minded.

80% of successful people are focused on accomplishing one single goal. Only 12% of less successful people do this.

19. To-Do List

If you want to accomplish your goals make a to-do list to keep track of things. Be like 81% of successful people and get into this habit.

20. Do 1 Thing You Loved As A Kid

Do 1 thing you loved to do as a kid every day. If you loved biking or playing with your dog, this can be the one thing that fuels your life.

Did You Drop Your Smartphone in The Ocean? Here’s How to Retrieve It

Published

on

drop your

Even if COVID-19 remains present after two years, it’s not stopping people from going on beach vacations. After all, cases aren’t as high as before, and many people have been vaccinated against the virus. And when it comes to beach vacations, it means more swimming and fun water activities, such as snorkeling, watching dolphins on the boat, and parasailing. We often get carried away with these activities, and unfortunate incidents befall us. One of those unavoidable incidents is accidentally dropping your smartphone into the ocean or sea. You’ve worked so hard to buy the device, only for it to slip away into the ocean. There’s a possibility that you can still retrieve it, though. But what do you do after you drop your smartphone in the ocean? Here’s what you need to do.

Look For Your Phone

Drop your smartphone in the ocean

You can still retrieve your phone from the ocean IF you accidentally dropped it in a shallow part of it. Use your feet or hands to feel for the phone. And if you have a net or something to scoop it up, do that too.

However, Do NOT in ANY CIRCUMSTANCES try to retrieve your phone IF it fell somewhere deep. You need to accept the fact that it’s long gone and is now with the sea. If this happens, contact your mobile phone provider immediately if you have a plan with them. They could help you with reassigning your old number to a new phone.

Switch the Phone Off and Leave it to Dry

Once you retrieve your phone, turn it off immediately. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to take snaps for your Instagram or create videos for TikTok. However, this is a necessary measure once it’s out of the water. Plus, make sure to dry it with a clean towel. Since you’re still at the beach and a few hours away from civilization, this is your best bet in ensuring your phone doesn’t take any more damage.

Remember the uncooked rice myth? Yeah, that’s not true. It’s no longer recommended to put your phone in uncooked rice because it will cause further corrosion. In an old interview, David Naumann said in the USA today that if you drop your smartphone in the ocean, you can put it inside a Ziplock bag. You’ll add purified water there and a pinch of baking soda. Baking soda is necessary to counter corrosion.

Bring It to A Pro ASAP

You can be tempted to fix your smartphone once you get home. But the best person to deal with this situation is a professional. It can be challenging to disassemble the phone, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the process. Once you’re back home, immediately take it to a repair shop and tell them that you accidentally dropped it in the ocean.

Preventive Measures

To prevent any data loss, why not back up your files on a cloud? That way, if you lose your phone or drop it in the ocean, you can still have your files when you get a new one.

And if you’re going to the beach, make sure to put the smartphone inside a waterproof bag. It will keep your phone dry and secure!

Unfortunately, this guy can no longer retrieve his phone. And this is why you need to take preventive measures to avoid a scenario like this.

Top 10 Best Places to Buy a Mid Century Modern Office Chair

Published

on

What was once old is new again: mid century modern is back in style. From architecture to furniture, the postwar look is in, and the hype extends all the way to office chairs.

Do you need a mid century modern office chair in your life? If so, there’s plenty to choose from. Your office chair should be tailored to your style, whether you like luxury, utility, or something in between.

That’s why we’ve put together our 10 favorite places to find your ideal mid century modern office chair.

What is mid century modern design?

After World War II, spirits were high in the US, and new technology was taking the country by storm. Mid century modern refers to the design concepts that came about during this time.

As opposed to the frilly, ornate designs of classical furnishings, mid century modern designs are angular, material, and functional. Wood is a common design element, especially teak. Mid century modern furniture may also have materials like glass, vinyl, and metal. Designs are simple and geometric, with bold accent colors to make them pop.

The mid century modern aesthetic never really went away, but it’s made a noted comeback in recent years. Some have chalked it up to Boomer and Gen X nostalgia, others point to mid-century-set shows like Mad Men and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Why should I buy a mid century modern office chair?

Mid century modern is the perfect fusion of style and utility. If you want to cultivate an office space that commands respect without being ostentatious, mid century modern is the style for you.

When it comes to office chairs, an MCM one is often made with sturdy wood and vinyl. They combine the ergonomics of a modern office chair with old-fashioned grace.

If you’re concerned with utility and utility only, a more bog-standard office chair may suit you. But a mid century modern office chair is great for someone who wants to wow colleagues with a mature, thoughtful business space.

Where can I get a mid century modern office chair?

1) Wayfair

When it comes to furniture, Wayfair offers the best of both worlds. Their goods, including their mid century modern office chairs, are stylish and affordable. You can get a sturdy task chair for less than $100 or a more distinguished seat for less than $350.

2) France & Son

3) Houzz

Started as a community for people to share home decor tips, Houzz has become a great ecommerce platform for finding stylish furniture. They’re more known for home decor than desk chairs, but they have plenty of great, affordable finds if you know where to look.

MCM office chair examples: Arvilla ($173), Rathburn ($259)

4) Laura Davidson

mid-century office chair

The Laura Davidson collection offers a fairly limited selection of classic office furniture. Still, there’s a reason they’re trusted by big-wigs like Apple, Disney, and Salesforce. Their chairs are sturdy and beautifully designed, reimagining classic Eames and Knoll designs.

MCM office chair examples: Rockefeller ($275), SOHO II Soft Pad ($450)

5) Icons of Manhattan

mid-century office chair

MCM office chair example: Ribbed Medium ($219)

6) Amazon

Still, they’ve got stunning chairs available for any style, whether you care about comfort, class, or ergonomics.

MCM office chair examples: IDS Home Modern ($219), Art Leon MCM Swivel ($139)

7) AllModern

mid-century office chair

AllModern’s collection of desk chairs and other furniture truly embodies the mid century modern spirit. Their work is tight, angular, and functional above all. They’re part of the Wayfair family and they traffic in a number of modern styles, but their sleek chairs are perfect for any mid century modern space.

MCM office chair examples: Frederick ($229), Kealey ($349)

8) Overstock

mid-century office chair

Overstock is known as a one-stop shop for quality home goods at sub-wholesale prices. If you want a spiffy mid century modern office chair that won’t break the bank, they’re the first place to look. While they’re somewhat less reliable than the more upscale platforms on this list, their selection is massive.

MCM office chair example: Joseph Modern ($163)

9) Walmart

mid-century office chair

Hayneedle’s selection of mid-century modern office chairs falls somewhere between the minimal Laura Davidson and the endless Amazon catalog. Their array of mid-century designs is affordable and versatile, with chairs that match almost any style. While they may be part of the Walmart family, these chairs are anything but second-rate.

MCM office chair example: Waleaf ($97)

10) Target

mid-century office chair

Why splurge when you can save? As usual, Target is a hidden gem, offering a sturdy selection of mid century modern office chairs for some of the cheapest prices out there. Many of the chairs they offer are from the same designers as these other stores—Christopher Knight, LumiSource, Armen Living, etc.—at reduced prices.

MCM office chair example: Lombardi ($136)
