Life Hacks 111 - #145

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends. Welcome back to Modern Wisdom. First and foremost, I want to apologize. I have been sat on this Life Hacks episode for over a month, and it's been six months since our last one. But the most popular Modern Wisdom series is back. I strapped Jonny and yusef down to the couch, and oh boy, is this one good. We've more than doubled since the last Life Hacks was on. So if you don't know what you're in for, it is a round table of myself, Jonny and yusef from Propane Fitness talking about our favorite tools, apps, products and resources for a productive and efficient life. And then we just rip each other for when they're being terrible or absolutely love them and immediately apply them to our life. So today, expect to learn how you can get unlimited free Wi-Fi on an Emirates flight, the best way to make carbonated water at home, the best low calorie ice cream that we found, how you can flawlessly navigate a city, how you can send blog posts direct to your Kindle in perfect Kindle format, the best way that we found for instantiating habits, phone sleeves, the best protein sheets we found, upgrades to your travel luggage. Oh, it is so good. And links to everything that we have talked about will be in the show notes below. We've tried to find discounts and referral codes wherever we can. So just follow those links and they should give you everything that you need. Please give it up for the wise and wonderful Jonny and yusef.

Jonny and yusef in the building.

**Chris Williamson** (2:01)
Welcome back, gentlemen.

**Yusef** (2:02)
How are you doing? Hello, very good. Very good.

Lifehacks 111

**Jonny** (2:07)
Is that what it is?

**Chris Williamson** (2:08)
One, one, one.

**Yusef** (2:10)
111 lifehacks episodes.

**Chris Williamson** (2:15)
That's a lie, we started on 101 And Jonny, you've actually got some for once.

**Jonny** (2:20)
I do, I've done some preparation. But don't you dare.

**Chris Williamson** (2:25)
I'm not going to do that. What I am going to do though, if you know what Barebells are, they are a protein shake, pre-made protein shake. Absolutely fantastic, tastes lovely. Partnered with the company from Nocco and you can win a crate of them. All that you need to do is share this episode. Tag me in the share at ChriswellX, wherever you follow me, share this episode up and I'll choose someone and send a case of Barebells out to you. And my first lifehack is, can I ask a question first?

**Jonny** (2:53)
Are they not protein bars?

**Chris Williamson** (2:54)
They also make milkshakes.

**Jonny** (2:56)
Do they?

**Chris Williamson** (2:57)
Yeah, I've got some in there, do you want one to take away?

**Jonny** (2:59)
Yeah. Yeah.

**Chris Williamson** (3:00)
So my first lifehack is, replace milk on cereal with Barebells White Chocolate.

**Jonny** (3:08)
Okay, I'm on board with that. You have a lot of cereal, don't you?

**Yusef** (3:11)
I have a lot of cereal.

**Chris Williamson** (3:12)
20 grams of protein, instantly added on to whatever your cereal is for the day.

**Yusef** (3:16)
I'm going to have to make it my lifehack.

**Chris Williamson** (3:18)
I'll just give you one, I'll just give you one. You can't take my lifehack.

**Yusef** (3:20)
No, no, just the type of cereal.

**Chris Williamson** (3:24)
Okay, so granola works very well with granola. Like white chocolate, Barebells, milkshake, protein shake, granola, unbelievable. Macros are fantastic.

**Jonny** (3:36)
So it's higher calorie, slightly higher cost, I imagine. Much higher cost, but must be tasty.

**Chris Williamson** (3:43)
Oh, it's so good.

**Jonny** (3:44)
What sort of granola do you have? Don't ask him this question, because I know you'll get excited. What sort of granola would you go for?

**Chris Williamson** (3:48)
Mine's Asda own brand.

**Yusef** (3:50)
Yes. Asda's extra special.

**Chris Williamson** (3:52)
No.

**Jonny** (3:53)
Okay.

**Yusef** (3:54)
You're in for a treat, Chris.

**Jonny** (3:55)
Are we talking like granola with raisins?

**Chris Williamson** (3:57)
Raisins and nuts. Okay. It'll kill you.

**Jonny** (4:00)
So I have the Quaker granola. The Quaker raisin granola is frankly lethal. Like you don't realise it, but you can easily do the box without even realising.

**Chris Williamson** (4:11)
I know what you mean.

**Yusef** (4:12)
It's so calorie dense. It's unbelievable. It's like a fried cereal, isn't it?

**Jonny** (4:17)
It's like someone's made cereal and then just put a butter in it and stir it around and put it on the shelf.

**Yusef** (4:22)
And you're like, oh, that's really, that's really nice.

**Jonny** (4:24)
Yeah, it's really tasty. And you're like, ah. And then Chris is like, I'm a bit lean at the moment. Why don't I add some calories? I'm a saurian.
