On this Thirsty Thursday, we take a blast to the past! We have been doing these so long that we don’t always remember what we have tried…but Briar remembers! On Thirsty Thursday, we try a mystery drink from a very cool piece of branded drinkware. We have no idea what is coming, so you get a true (and sometimes inappropriate) reaction to what we try! This time we are trying the mystery drink out of the Recyclable Steel Chill Cups! Watch the latest episode now!
Why The 16 oz Recyclable Steel Chill Cup?
While the feedback on the drink each week can have mixed reviews, this quality drinkware piece got thumbs up all around. Made in the USA from infinitely recyclable steel, the 16 oz Steel Chill-Cups™ keep the party going, plastic-free, with their sturdy, reusable, and recyclable design. Thanks to its inherent strength and magnetic qualities, steel is the #1 most recycled food can which makes it the ideal material for almost anything disposable. In fact, because it’s infinitely recyclable, more than 75% of all steel ever produced is still in use today. That’s why Steel Chill-Cups™ are the better option for disposable party cups, especially when compared with single-use plastics.

In our fast-paced world, productivity and happiness can feel like elusive goals. However, achieving both can be simpler than we think—it often comes down to small but impactful daily habits. Here are five actionable steps you can take to increase both your productivity and happiness. Let’s dive in!
1. Get More Sleep
It sounds basic, but the truth is, many of us aren’t getting enough quality sleep. The benefits of a good night’s rest go far beyond just feeling alert. Sleep plays a crucial role in our ability to process information, manage stress, and make sound decisions. Studies have shown that sleep-deprived individuals are less productive and more likely to make errors at work.
Action Tip: Aim for at least 7–8 hours of sleep per night. To improve sleep quality, establish a wind-down routine, keep your room cool, and avoid screens for at least an hour before bed.
2. Get Consistent Exercise
Physical activity isn’t just about staying fit—it’s about keeping your mind sharp and resilient, too. Regular exercise has been shown to improve mood, boost energy, and increase productivity. When you get moving, your brain releases endorphins, which help you feel happier and more focused.
Action Tip: If the thought of hitting the gym is daunting, start small. A daily 20-minute walk, some stretching, or a short yoga session can make a big difference in how you feel and perform each day.
3. Set Goals
Setting clear, achievable goals gives direction to your day. With a goal in mind, you’re more likely to stay on track and avoid distractions. Not only does achieving goals help you feel accomplished, but it also boosts confidence, which can lead to even more productivity and happiness.
Action Tip: Start by writing down one or two goals each morning. They don’t have to be monumental; even small wins can lead to big feelings of progress and satisfaction. Review your goals at the end of the day to see what you’ve accomplished and celebrate each step forward.
4. Be Mindful (Or Set Time for Meditation)
Mindfulness and meditation help us slow down, focus, and reduce stress—three things that greatly improve productivity. When you’re mindful, you’re more in tune with your thoughts and emotions, which makes it easier to handle stress, stay focused, and avoid burnout.
Action Tip: Start with just five minutes a day. Find a quiet spot, close your eyes, and take slow, deep breaths. You could also try guided meditation apps if that helps you stay focused. Over time, this simple practice can transform your mental clarity and emotional resilience.
5. Create an Intentional Morning Routine
A consistent morning routine can set the tone for a productive and joyful day. When you start your day with intention, you’re less likely to feel rushed or overwhelmed, which gives you a sense of calm and control. A morning routine doesn’t have to be complicated; it’s about choosing habits that set you up for success.
Action Tip: Your morning routine might include something as simple as a few minutes of stretching, writing down a couple of goals for the day, or having a quiet cup of coffee while planning your schedule. Experiment to find what works best for you, and make it a daily ritual.
Improving productivity and happiness isn’t about drastic changes—it’s about small, consistent actions that build up over time. By getting enough sleep, staying active, setting goals, being mindful, and establishing a morning routine, you’re creating a solid foundation for both productivity and happiness. So, take one step today, and keep building from there. You might be surprised by how quickly you notice the difference!

Like so many of us, I have been blessed to be surrounded by wise and patient mentors. These folks had faith in me long before I had earned it. And some of my best (and earliest) business lessons came from my parents. They were my OG mentors! So, while there were many more, here are 5 business lessons I learned from my parents.
5 Business Lessons I Learned From My Parents
Lift The Heavy Stuff First
This simple lesson came from my Dad when I was young. I was probably 8 or 9 years old and my parents decided it was time to re-arrange the furniture. My dad asked me to help him and I was excited. I was young and felt like it was my chance to prove what “a big boy” I was. My dad went straight to the big couch in the room. He said “Always lift the heavy stuff first. After that, everything else will seem lighter.” This is great advice for moving furniture. And it turns out it is true in almost every area of our lives!
Control Your Responses
There are so many things that come at us on a daily basis…and much of it is out of our control. We just can’t control everything that happens to us or around us. We can, however, control how we respond to it. And in that space between the action and the reaction lies our power. The people I find to be most successful (and most thoughtful) seem to be the ones who can control their emotions and gain power over the space between the action and their own reaction.
What Do You Win By Winning?
When I was a very young salesperson I had a client that made a mistake on their own order. It was their fault. And I did not want to be responsible or take the blame for their mistake. But my mom pointed out that, while the mistake was their fault, I needed to maintain the relationship…and that was more important than being right. So I need to ask myself “What do I win by winning this argument?” Most of the time, the answer is “a broken relationship.”
When In Doubt, See the People
Yes…technology is great. We have the ability to reach out to clients via text, email, Snapchat, messenger, etc. There are so many ways to connect with customers and prospects. And yet, most of us feel less connected to each other. An old adage that I find to not only still be true, but more true, is we need to get in front of people. That is how real relationships are formed. Most communication is non-verbal. Now I will say that zoom (and those other video platforms) are great. They bridge some of that gap. But I find that the best meetings I have are still in person. When in doubt, see the people.
Be The Bright Spot
And when you are out and about working to “see the people,” make sure you bring some joy with you. Most of what we see in the world today is negative. Studies will tell you that 89% of what we see is a negative message. And with this year being an election year, I think that is probably low. So if you want to stand out in this crowded space, be the bright spot in people’s day. Push out positivity and joy. Make people smile. Give kindness. It’s free. This is a simple piece of advice that I find I am never upset that I follow.
So there you have it! Those are 5 Business Lessons I learned from my parents. I hope they provided you with some value as well. As always, we want to provide you with value.
