Onwards with the Stuff that MattR’s this week…

1. **Monday Motivation** : Make this week the time that you implement just 3 of these [80 micro-habits that will change your life.](https://www.makeuseof.com/micro-habits-to-change-your-life/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) Adding them to my [free habit tracker](https://mattrutherford.co.uk/blog/freehabittracker?ss%5Fsource=sscampaigns&ss%5Fcampaign%5Fid=61ed3788550c717fa94e4a85&ss%5Femail%5Fid=61ee3ce3fb4b6f4884bc50e3&ss%5Fcampaign%5Fname=Stuff+%2370+-+GPS%2C+Mrs+Doubtfire+and+Polar+Bears&ss%5Fcampaign%5Fsent%5Fdate=2022-01-24T05%3A45%3A18Z&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) is a great way to get started.
2. **Add to your toolbox** : Bring optimism to your work, [how to cultivate and nurture a talent for positive thinking.](https://nesslabs.com/learned-optimism?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) There is a brilliant 5-step plan to help you learn in here, ABCDE.
3. **Seven Questions :** The brilliant Mark Manson asks you [just seven (strange) questions to help you define your purpose in life.](https://markmanson.net/life-purpose?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) Open up a blank page in your notes and follow this though, I did - and it’s been very helpful.
4. **Read a book in 3 minutes :** Imagine a business book summary written by Bill Gates or Elon Musk. [BookStash has exactly what you need.](https://bookstash.io/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk)
5. **TWIL** : [The closest point in the US to Africa, is in Maine](https://lobsterfrommaine.com/multimedia/at-7322-miles-quoddy-head-state-park-maine-is-the-closest-point-in-the-united-states-to-africa/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk#:~:text=Maine%20Lobster%20Legacy-,At%207%2C322%20miles%2C%20Quoddy%20Head%20State%20Park%2C%20Maine%20is%20the,the%20United%20States%20to%20Africa.)
6. **I’m just around the corner! :** GPS is one of the most useful tools we have, and one of the most misunderstood. [Here’s a GENIUS interactive guide to how GPS works.](https://ciechanow.ski/gps/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk)
7. **Unlike anything on Spotify** : [This app has music especially designed to calm your mind, and help with anxiety.](https://sona.care/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk)
8. **Sure, take whatever room you like :** What happens when Polar Bears move into a village? [This photographer found out.](https://petapixel.com/2022/01/13/photographer-finds-polar-bears-that-took-over-abandoned-buildings/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk)
9. **Did Mrs Doubtfire do** **that** **?** In Ghana, they often don’t have the right poster to display outside the cinema. [So of course, they paint their own - and they are MARVELLOUS!](https://nerdist.com/article/hand-painted-ghanaian-movie-posters/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) Bonus : [Instagram account of some of the best.](https://www.instagram.com/deadlypreygallery/?hl=en&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk)
10. **Finally** : We can all stop playing Wordle now, I’ve found something equally addictive. [WikiTrivia asks you to drag and drop historic events on a timeline - it’s so simple, and yet very tricky.](https://wikitrivia.tomjwatson.com/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) My record streak is 16, can you do better?

**My aural gift for you** this week is a fantstic album that arrived on vinyl this week, luckily it’s streaming as well so I can share it with you. [Music for Photographers by The Black Dog](https://open.spotify.com/album/6XeL6PInmZHGz0mvxlRoAM?si=PfSRNd6xSpqOlE5Xvo13og&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) is a collection of ambient tracks written to accompany some beautiful photography. It’s lovely music to work with, gentle and thoughtful - in fact, I have it on right now!
