1: [The new email app for iPhone and iPad](
Lots of power-user features are now part of Appleâs mail app. The one Iâm honestly most happy about is the improvements to search. (One of the big components of our [Calm Inbox system]( is the importance of using searching instead of sorting to find past emails.) And, speaking of email, here are my own, personal [top-3 tips for making your iPhone Email app more focused.]( 2: [âIf itâs Not Simple, Itâs Bull****â](
From Ryan Holiday: âA lot of complicated stuff isnât actually complicated.â For example: I once paid $6,000 to be part of a business training program.

â Shawn P.S. Every September we donate 10% of our course sales revenue to St. Jude as part of the [Relay fundraising drive](). This year my pals at Relay are this close to crossing $2,000,000 in lifetime donations! Please consider donating.
