Even if you’re not a professional salesperson, you will inevitably have to do some selling. Perhaps you’re a founder and need to sell your vision to investors and employees.

2022-08-23 07:35:13 Issue #405 | The Why and How of Prenuptial Agreements

A week ago, in issue 397 of One Daily Nugget, we featured Julie Compton’s magic question for saving your marriage. But even with powerful techniques like these, there’s always a chance your marriage won’t work out in the end.

This is why prenuptial agreements are key. Yes, negotiating a prenuptial agreement may be unromantic. But it’s much better to discuss and agree upon all the various implications of a potential divorce at a time when the two partners still love and care for one another.

If and when it’s time for a divorce, it will be much more difficult — and costly — to settle any open issues. In today’s nugget, published by CNBC, Scott Cohn walks us through the prenup basics. Read on to learn more!

In issue 291 of One Daily Nugget, we featured Mark Manson’s case for quitting the news. In today’s nugget, Manson is back with a new take on how to improve your productivity and well-being: Work less!

To make this point, Manson recounts his work on the bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck. It took him 18 months to write the book, but it’s only in the last three months that he truly made any progress.

Why? With deadlines approaching, did he pull himself together and work in 36-hour spurts? No. In fact, during the last three months, he worked less than in the first 15 months.

Exactly one year ago, on July 15, 2021, we published our first issue of One Daily Nugget. We’d like to express our gratitude to all of you who have been supporting us along the way!

One of the reasons we launched One Daily Nugget is because we noticed how, sometimes, a single insight, gleaned from a seemingly random book or article, may change one’s life. One Daily Nugget is essentially designed to provide you with a digestible stream of highly curated daily articles, each of which might turn out to resonate with you in a particularly meaningful way.

The notion that a new way of looking at things could change your life is explored in greater detail in today’s nugget, published by the Academy of Ideas. It describes a methodology for “cognitive reframing,” which allows you to convert failures from the past into stepping stones for future success.
