I definitely haven't. I try to read books at least 30 minuntes a day. Sometimes, though, I have to do it on the go, on my way to work. I had some digital versions on my devices (here are some great places to find them, by the way: https://custom-writing.org/blog/free-books-online).

You can read all you want about communication, but if you don't know how to execute it, it will be like learning how to fish on the Internet. You will know what to do, but until you actually try with real water, you won't get any real practice. The best way to learn communication is to 1) try it yourself or 2) watch (and learn) from others who are there.

Website should be well designed. Good colors catch the eye, and provide an instant layer of communication. Even before the conscious mind has started thinking, the subconscious has already assessed if something is interesting or not. Purely based on colors.

I focus on one topic a day. I realized it helps me to retain knowledge better. As of tools, I suggest you to check out this list of websites for full-fledged-learning: https://custom-writing.org/blog/36-best-websites There are tools sorted by study goals. For example, I use Droptasks to organize my tasks and files, and Braingle to train my brain.

I practice daily with Anki on a mobile phone, mainly to learn a language (Spanish).

Beyond Spanish, my cards touch on many other subjects. Some are stuff I want to remember all the time (whether related to work or general knowledge). Other are cards I prepared for some exam/professional qualifications. After the exam, some of those cards moved to the former category, the rest are now archived.

Setting up auto-delivery. By inputting my grocery list into Instacart and having the same items delivered every Monday, I not only save money (because I'm not at the store, distracted by items that I may or may not cook), but I save time and always have a fridge and cupboard full of what I know I’ll eat.

Probably the most stressful period of my life was when I was studying in the university in a different city.

When my dad was starting his first business, back about 30 years ago, the business environment was wildly different than today.

There was far less venture capital floating around, things like “crowdfunding” were non-existent, websites were incipient, social media wasn’t a thing, businesses nearly always had a “brick and mortar” store presence etc.

Today, your options for starting a business are endless...

I am not familiar with Craft CMS or Ghost, but I am familiar with Statamic; and it is an awesome CMS compared to WordPress.

While it is not a well-known name, Statamic comes out-of-the-box with many features that you would need a plugin for if you were using WordPress. Some of these features include multilingual functionality, advanced customer fields, form modules, search functionality, a backup utility, advanced caching system, etc. It also does not require a database, which is an interesting benefit of using this CMS.
