Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guests today are Jonny and Yusef from propanefitness.com and it is another Life Hacks episode. We will go through our favorite tools, apps, websites, strategies and resources for a productive and efficient life. And you will pick up many, many things that will change your life, like Jonny's new favorite meditation app, how to stop yourself from sneezing if you need to, Yusef's new mobile game addiction, how to bypass any article paywall, how to get free book summaries, how to do morning pages in a frictionless way, why paying invoices early will benefit your life and so much more. Even though I'm having a lot of fun out here in Austin, I do miss the boys. It made me very wistful for the evenings that we spend in my living room recording podcasts, but Jonny is getting married later this year, so I'm going to get to see him. And you will be able to find out what Yusef at a wedding is like, which is going to be very interesting. Also, if you are interested in any of the hacks that we go through today, they are linked in the show notes below. There is a big list of them. And if you want a list of all, there's over 200 hacks that we did in season one of Life Hacks. You can go to chriswillx.com/lifehacks, and there is a full list of them all there linked and organized by which category of life it is improving. You can go to chriswillx.com/lifehacks. But now, please give it up for Jonny & Yusef.
Jonny and Yusef, welcome to the show.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (1:53)
This is a really exciting one.

**Chris Williamson** (1:55)
Why?

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (1:55)
Because it's the first time we've got proper setups. We're not just using a potato.

**Chris Williamson** (2:01)
You're not beaning it as much as you used to. Yeah, this is HD Hacks.

**Jonny Watson** (2:05)
HD potato.

**Chris Williamson** (2:07)
That's it, man. So, if you're not used to life hacks, we go through tools, techniques and tactics for a productive and efficient life, and then the other two people tear it down or say that it's amazing and immediately acclaim that person as the new Victor. We'll get through whatever it is that we have chance to do today, and then maybe time for some things that have been watching Netflix's stuff at the end. And as is tradition, Johan Sebastian, there's a hot potato for you.

**Jonny Watson** (2:38)
Caught it.

**Chris Williamson** (2:39)
What have you got?

**Jonny Watson** (2:40)
I have caught it. So, my life hacks today are as a result of having done a version of 75 hard at the start of this year. So, if people aren't familiar with that, it is a largely stupid idea where you do lots of training and drink lots of water and do lots of very difficult things for 75 days in a row. And if you skip a day, you have to go back to day one again. So, as you can imagine, skipping a day is fairly bad news. So, one of our friends was going to do it. He did the proper version. I did like a scaled back version, but I ended up having to do loads of habits very consistently that I've not, without skipping a day. So, lots of kind of efficiencies and hacks as it were.

**Dr. Yusef Smith** (3:26)
Have you got the full list of the official 75 hard?

**Jonny Watson** (3:30)
I don't, but I'm worried that I'll derail things. Okay. I want to get to the meat. So, one of the things that I did every day was just take my supplements every day, which is something that we probably all do with like decent consistency. Something I found that made it really easy to do, I'm not really sure how you two are going to react to this, I ordered some apple cider vinegar and some collagen from my protein in the form of like a chewy gummy.

**Chris Williamson** (4:06)
Okay. I'm not offended so far.

**Jonny Watson** (4:10)
Okay. It's all going well so far. So the hack is, have one supplement that you take per day, that's a sweetie, that's a gummy. So like, let's say you're going to take a multivitamin or vitamin D or something else, just my protein basically make everything at this point in the form of a gummy and it's just like having sweets.

**Chris Williamson** (4:34)
So how does that help you stay compliant with the rest of your supplements?

**Jonny Watson** (4:41)
It's just the standard habit formation.

**Chris Williamson** (4:43)
Multivitamin gummies in Vimto flavor, that's what Yusef's got.
