Hey Product Hunt! πŸ‘‹ I've always been fascinated by the weird ways our brains work. Last year, I decided to go back to uni and study neuroscience part-time while still running my business. I use what I study at school and my worries and hopes building a business to write 5 weekly articles about neuroscience, productivity, and creativity. Each week, I send a digest as well as some cool stuff I only include in the newsletter, such as fun brain games and hacks to try, as well as thought-provoking articles from around the web. πŸ’Œ Almost 100K people have read these articles in the past few months. My goal is to help people be more productive and more creative without sacrificing their mental well-being. And to create a community of fellow mindful makers who enjoy asking interesting questions along the way! All the content is backed by research, with links to the corresponding papers if you want to learn more. In the future, I'm planning to offer even more content with ebooks and a mindful productivity app. I'd love to get any feedback and happy to answer questions. Thank you! πŸ™ p.s. Thanks @abadesi for offering me to host an AMA!

Five weekly articles is bonkers productive! How did you build such an awesome habit early on? Any environment changes you made for yourself to make it easier?
Anne-Laure Le Cunff
@andrewaskins I write for an hour and a half first thing every morning! Trade-off is that I go less often to the gym, but both being me joy so it's fine. :)

I'm into neuroscience and research myself. Love to see that others know how important it is to always be connected to your brain. Neuroscience and entrepreneurship combined can make you improve significantly! Btw, we’re launching in late April or the start of May. Check out our upcoming PH page: www.producthunt.com/upcoming/eff... Our project is called: Effecto. It’s an app for detailed health tracking. Pretty much for everything that is related to your physical or mental health and every daily factor that can affect you.
