Modern Wisdom Christmas Special - Reflecting On The Wildest Year - #723
from Modern Wisdom · host Chris Williamson
2023 has been crazy. I'm back on my old couch in Newcastle with Jonny, Yusef & George to catch up on their favourite lessons from the past 12 months plus their best new hacks and plans for 2024. Expect to learn why you need two duvets to improve your sleep when sharing a bed, the new productivity system that everyone now uses except me, what you can learn about using a fitness tracker without actually buying one, which app Yusef uses over 400 times a day, why all 5 of my top songs this year were from the same artist and much more...
