Use These Tips — They Helped Me! IS YOUR MESSY INBOX DRIVING YOU NUTS?
Until a few months ago, my email inbox was the bane of my existence. It drove me crazy! I had so
Here are a few helpful things I learned along the way.
• Email isn’t an efficient tool for internal communication. When computer programmers invented email decades ago, people used it for everything. It was a hammer, and every communication problem was a nail! But we’ve come a long way since then. If you’re bogged down in internal emails, you can reduce them by using a tool like Microsoft Teams or Slack to talk to your team. • You shouldn’t store documents in your email. If someone sends you a document, keeping it in your inbox or a folder seems quick and easy — but it’s actually more cumbersome than saving the document. If you keep it in your email, other people in your organization won’t be able to find it without asking you for help. • The fewer folders you have, the easier organizing will be. Before taking the Inbox Zero course, I had tons of folders to sort my emails into. Now, I’ve pared down to three: Archive, Optional, and Main Inbox. This really helped me with decision fatigue! Now, I know exactly where each email belongs, and I don’t have to waste time hunting through different folders looking for one particular message. Thanks to the Inbox Zero course, I now start and end the day with just 10-15 emails in my inbox instead of hundreds. The course really helped me, and if you’re fighting with your email all the time, it can probably help you too!
many junk and internal emails that important messages kept getting buried. Sometimes I’d forget to respond to someone, their email would disappear into the mess, and I’d get back to them days later than I wanted to.
“Thanks to the Inbox Zero course, I now start and end the day with just 10-15 emails in my inbox instead of hundreds.”
I swear, I tried to stay organized. I created about a million folders and sorted my Outlook inbox into them as best I could. But I could never keep up! Even when I checked my email all day (at my desk at work, on my phone, etc.), I never managed to clean up my inbox.

Then, I found Leverage’s Inbox Zero course.
Guys, I’m not kidding when I say this Inbox Zero program changed my life. Leverage designed it around Nick Sonnenberg’s book “Come Up for Air.” It’s supposed to reduce the time you spend on email and the stress of a cluttered inbox — and it actually works! I sat in on a group call with other people, then had one-on-one training with the team at Leverage, and they helped me make my inbox more efficient.

For many, the biggest hurdle to exercise is how much time you spend doing it. Finding an hour to hit the gym can be impossible between work, family, and other endless daily obligations.
While this is true for all of us, it’s even more so for celebrities, but somehow,

“Many employees spend 40–50 hours a week using these tools with no training,” Nick explains. “No one knows what to do with them, and when they do, they might only get 10% of the value of the tools instead of 80%–90%. When you align your team on not just how but when to use these tools, you can quickly save more than one business day, per week, per employee in your company.” As Josh mentioned on Page 1, Nick literally wrote the book on this topic: “ Come Up for Air: How Teams Can Leverage Systems and Tools to Stop Drowning in Work .” When we sat down with him to talk about his book and Leverage’s Inbox
very short time, possibly within five minutes.
ARE MICRO WORKOUTS EFFECTIVE? If you’re wondering if working out for only five minutes makes a difference, a 2021 study found that even four seconds of intense exercise can improve your health. In this study by the University of Texas at Austin, a group of individuals cycled at maximum effort for four seconds on a stationary bike, then rested for 15–30 seconds. Participants repeated these four-second intervals 30 times three days a week. This totaled to about two minutes of exercise each day, or six minutes total for the entire week. The results? Participants all showed improved cardio and anaerobic power, meaning they could output more physical energy while using less oxygen. Another study by Nature Medicine found that for people over the age of 60 (who did not exercise regularly), small bursts of energy for even two minutes showed a 50% decrease
in death from cardiovascular complications and a 40% decrease in risk of dying from cancer compared to those who did not incorporate a micro workout. These bursts of movement even included climbing stairs or walking fast. HOW CAN YOU INTEGRATE MICRO WORKOUTS INTO YOUR SCHEDULE? Just find 2–5 minutes in your day for a micro workout and perform any exercise you feel comfortable with — even just walking at a fast pace will do the trick!

Chiro1Source’s Most Patriotic Products WE’RE PROUD TO SELL ‘MADE IN AMERICA’
our Team’s ivity AND enue CHARGE OF AL TOOLS
It’s hard to say whether George Washington had back pain or Ben Franklin suffered tech
neck from writing so many letters — but it seems likely they and the other Founding Fathers would have loved our “Made in America” devices! In honor of the Fourth of July, we’ve rounded up a few of our most patriotic products, which were assembled and/ or manufactured in America. As you go through our list, you’ll notice several items made by our friends at Core Products, which employs more than 100 Americans in rural Wisconsin. Here’s what they told us about their commitment to manufacturing in the USA: “We feel the best employees in the world come from the small farm communities in the Midwest. Our employees and their families clearly represent the people who use Core’s line of orthopedic products. We are the hardworking people who milk the cows, drive the trucks, and feed America.”
Zero course, he told us that rethinking how you, your receptionist, and your marketing team use your digital workspace is a win for everyone. “Giving people back a day [of productivity] a week helps them feel happier and less stressed. There’s less burnout, and you get higher quality work and more output with less money wasted on hiring new people,” Nick says. “You also avoid paying for recruiting, onboarding, training, and salarying those people. Imagine getting 20%–30% more [productivity] out of every person in your company. If your payroll is $1 million per year, that’s a $200,000– $300,000 savings on human capital!” When you’re ready to rethink how your team uses your digital tools, Nick recommends starting with email. It’s easy for your team members to waste 3–5 hours per week in their inboxes, and inefficient email use can lead to thousands of wasted dollars if they miss a patient question or physician referral.
Here is our patriotic shortlist. You can find all of these products and more at Chiro1Source.com.
HeartNSoles Blueline Cushion Foam Insoles: HeartNSoles is Chiro1Source’s in-house brand, and we assemble our insoles in Ohio. They give back to America, too: Every time you purchase a HeartNSoles product, we donate 10 meals to FeedingAmerica.

D-Core Cervical Support Pillows: These pillows from Core Products feature a D-shaped indent in the center and a raised outer ring. The design helps your patients sleep in comfort using the best posture possible.
Tri-Core Cervical Support Pillows: Like the D-Core pillow, this pillow from Core Products helps align the patient’s spine while they sleep. It includes cervical roles with two different levels of support and is ideal for people with headaches and neck pain.
Apex Cervical Orthosis Premium: This wedge- shaped cervical orthosis is another winner from Core Products. It helps counteract problematic forward head posture and relieve the pain of whiplash, tech neck, and other neck problems. Comfort Gel Packs: These versatile hot and cold therapy packs can be chilled in the freezer or heated in the microwave. And, of course, they’re made in the USA!

Find the Perfect Beach Rental DISCOVER YOUR IDEAL SEASIDE RETREAT
THE EXTRAS You should consider a couple of other things when booking a beach rental. If you plan to bring your pets, ensure the rental you book is pet-friendly. It’s also worth investigating if the beach itself is dog- friendly, as bringing your furry friend to the beach can make the vacation even more enjoyable. Many rentals also provide beach toys, body boards, and more so you don’t have to spend money buying or renting them at shops. Read through the rental description, and don’t hesitate to ask the owner any questions.
One of the most important decisions anyone will make regarding their vacation is where they stay. This is especially true for summer vacations at the beach. Everyone has a different idea of their ideal vacation, and where you stay can make or break the trip.
apartment overlooking the beach will likely work. If your family is large or you’re worried about the kids being too loud, consider a single-family beach house instead. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION You probably already know what beach to visit, but choosing a specific unit can be challenging. Is a rental with a grand view of the beach and the ocean worth the cost, or is one without quite the view (but less expensive) still acceptable? You’ll also need to examine the surrounding area to ensure it has everything you need. If you don’t want to drive much once you settle in, choose a rental within walking distance of the beach, shops, and restaurants.
Here are a few things to consider before booking a beach rental for your vacation.
SIZE MATTERS How many people are coming on your trip? Is it just you and your significant other, or are children coming? You will want to pick a rental to fit your family’s needs. If your traveling party is small, a condo or
