2. Undo Send

Ever had an email where you clicked send and immediately realized you forgot to add the file?

With Undo send you have up to 30 secs to realize your mistake and fix it before it gets sent out.

This can save you from sending a "sorry forgot the file" email.

@nadege Fair enough but as I'm sure you can imagine it is impossible to provide more time so for lack of that here is a newsletter which I am able to provide 😅

@mtcerio Its the "obvious " stuff that people often get wrong not in theory but in execution.

Simple things repeated consistently can yield amazing results think exercising daily vs doing 1 extreme exercise once. The more complex something is the harder it becomes to do it consistently and so you are unlikely to actually benefit from the results long-term.

The PhD is cool and all but it can take a serious toll on your mental health for some.
