Onwards with the Stuff that MattR’s this week…

1. **Monday Motivation** : Make this week the one that you implement [this single one-hour exercise that could 10x your productivity and bring **clarity** to your work](https://todoist.com/productivity-methods/weekly-review?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk). Block the time on your calendar now, or add it to [your habit tracker](https://mattrutherford.co.uk/blog/freehabittracker?ss%5Fsource=sscampaigns&ss%5Fcampaign%5Fid=61f3f18ce499b70456127af0&ss%5Femail%5Fid=61f777635e4bc670cdef2890&ss%5Fcampaign%5Fname=Stuff+%2371+-+Cheese%2C+Crumpets%2C+Gas+Pumps&ss%5Fcampaign%5Fsent%5Fdate=2022-01-31T05%3A45%3A20Z&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk).

3. **\~40,000 weeks (80 years x 50 weeks) :** [This list of ten ways to get the most out of your time on this planet](https://ideas.ted.com/10-ways-to-get-the-most-out-of-your-time-on-this-planet/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk) has some excellent advice and ideas. #6 is something I have been thinking about a lot.

[#4 is a very bad habit you could stop today](https://twitter.com/OzolinsJanis/status/1481957265695334400/photo/4?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk).
5. **TWIL** : [You could throw a ball over 250m on the moon](https://youtu.be/zyn4KGxku90?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk). Little bit of science + little bit of imagination.
6. **I reckon it’s an Epoisse :** [Imagine Shazam, for cheese](https://cheezam.fr/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk). (Turns out it was a Dairylea Dunker). The simple instructions are right in the middle of the page, take a picture of some cheese.

9. **Discover Quickly:** [This clever little site will use your Spotify to find new music that I guarantee you’ll like](https://discoverquickly.com/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk). Just 20 minutes on this and I found 5 new things to listen to. Now, I just need to find the time to listen to them!
10. **Finally** : [Gas pump golf ](https://gaspumpgolf.github.io/?ref=mattrutherford.co.uk)\- there is no way you can get closer to perfect than me on this!
