Weirdo's Weekly Update — 5 Jun, 2023

The team highlights their new OKR goal-setting course and stresses the importance of DYOR in crypto investing. The update includes a passport renewal reminder for travelers, recommendations for Airtable and the Future Podcast, and habit stacking as a productivity tip.

What are we working on?

The team highlights their "Goal Setting for Success - How to Set, Track, and Achieve any Goal with OKRs" course. They created it recognizing that goal-setting overwhelms many people. The course covers: assessing current situations, identifying objectives and key results, breaking goals into actionable steps, and measuring progress. All principles apply to personal and professional life.

Cryptos

The section emphasizes "Do Your Own Research" (DYOR) as vital in cryptocurrency. They encourage investors to thoroughly investigate projects before investing and avoid misinformation. They promote their beginner cryptocurrency course as educational preparation.
