βNature doesnβt hurry yet everything is accomplished.β

A lesson on systems from #lavenders and Lao Tzu.
#Purple Day is the day of systems, power, structure, money. Reminding myself that the biggest systems architect of all is #nature.
Who recharges you?
Rhythm
These two are my superpowerβtheyβre my secret weapon to living a life of joy and meaning.
We tap into energies 24-7.
Energy is in our daily environment: our living and workspace, the food and information we consume, the people we surround ourselves with, the conversations we have. When weβre deliberate about the kind of energies we send out and let in, we get to supercharge more effectively.
On Purple Day, turn to your human energy centers. Who are they who renew you and keep you charged? Are you connected to them? How often do you plug in and recharge?
How tech-dependent are you?
Rhythm
Weβre now in a double whammy of Mercury in Retrograde and Ghost Month. Communication and gadgets are extra prone to mistakes and malfunction.
What took me 5 minutes to do with AI last week is now taking over 2 hours (and counting!).
Iβm a big fan of automation, and am always on the lookout for the best productivity tools out there. Today was a reality-check on how much dependent on tech Iβve become, and on the other hand, how much I appreciate the help it provides.
On Purple Day, imagine life before the tools and helpers in your life. Do you think you can still get into flow without them? How do you find the balance between being tool-thankful and tech-independent?
Do you get proper sleep?
Rhythm
Days are starting to get shorter. Itβs dark again by 830pm, and my body feels it. It asks for sleep. More sleep than what itβs been getting over the summer.
Overheard on a kids show: sleep is magic.
Amazing lesson not just because it helps get our daughter to bed, but more so because itβs true. When I get proper sleep, I feel different. I feel wired and put together. Itβs the best make up, productivity hack, and creativity tool, and itβs free, abundant, and part of everyday life.
On Purple Day on one of the last Mondays of summer, letβs honor our sleep. Letβs block it into our calendars as a sacred, canβt-be-rescheduled everyday priority.
What tools keep you in flow?
Rhythm Technology
Iβve been figuring out Notion for two months. Right when I feel a breakthrough is coming and I start to get it, the dumping just begins again: task dumping, drafts dumping, table dumping. I have too many databases now, too many pages within pages.
So many people swear by Notion as their ultimate productivity tool. Iβm possibly stuck in the swearing. 
On Purple Day, itβs good to do a maintenance check on our life tools, the helpers that (supposedly) make our everydays easier, more organized and breathable.
Now if a tool keeps you up late at night so you can figure it outβ¦
Is money small or big?
Rhythm
Hereβs how the worldβs first coin looked, made in Lydia over 2,600 years ago.
We named our project @leadiagrowth after Lydia as a homage to this coin, a tool that has enabled growth and innovation through the ages.
When you look at money, what do you see? Is your money small or big? What big things are you doing with it?
Powerzone Monday: What protects your space?
Rhythm
Itβs the start of a new week, and the distractions are lining up: chores, emails, daily commute.
When itβs a busy day and you need to move around a lot, how do you stay in the zone and protect your space? 
I pulled up this family photo with Topkapi Palace behind us, remembering the feeling we had on this day. Weβd just spent a wonderful week in Δ°stanbul, soaking in the energy of the city, and already decided we would move there asap. It was a feeling of possibility.
This moment is a powershield, one that I can pull up on combat days like today, to help me remember my safe space and stay in flow.
How do you powerstart your day?
Rhythm
Hereβs mine: with quiet time to remember what happened in my sleep the night before. 
Both science and spirituality ( i.e. consciousness work) say to always go to bed with a question we need help with, and let the divine forces and/or our subconscious do the answering for us while we sleep
. Our job is to be ready to receive the answers the next morning.
This only happens with a clear mind and heart, without the clutter of errands or news or social media feeds
. Blank slate mornings are critical.
How about you? What power move starts your day right?
