Health & Productivity

• Athletic Greens – Hands down one of the easiest (and tastiest) ways to ensure you get all the vitamins, minerals, and probiotics you need to get and stay healthy!
• Ambient Music Tracks For Focus – Groovemuse is a collaboration between myself and a close friend. We produced these tracks so we could listen to ambient music to stay focused without ads or interruptions.

• Noise-Canceling Headphones – The Apple Airpod Pros are what we recommend as they are what we use. They aren’t cheap, but we love them and will pay for themselves in no time, in gained hours of productivity.
