How are you? How have you been?
This is the last DCG issue for the month of July. Omo July went by so fast! One minute it was July 3rd, the next minute it was already July 15th, and now, less than a minute later, it’s July 30th.
What did you achieve in the month of July? Did you have any setbacks? Reply to this email, and let’s discuss them.
I have been busy with work but I had the time to watch a show called ‘The Boys’. Superheroes in Marvel and DC are always goody two shoes that put others first. Let’s be real, would the strongest man in the universe(superman) really be working 9 to 5 at the Daily Planet? In this show’s universe, super-powered people do what they like and take advantage of humans. This is where ‘The Boys’ come in. They are a group of humans who want to take down the ‘Supes’. If you are into superhero stuff, you will enjoy it. But caution, the scenes can be gory, so if blood spooks you, don’t watch!
I hope you are ready for what I’ve prepared. Let’s get right into it.

Tools of the week…
As I always do, let me share with you some of the tools that have greatly improved my productivity.
Notion:
Some of you may already use it, but personally, I used the Microsoft Todo app and was not interested in switching till I tried Notion. It has greatly improved my productivity. Some of the features it has include:
It helps you schedule your daily tasks
It manages your files
It helps save documents and set reminders
And so much more. So if you are like me that hadn’t tried this amazing tool before. What are you waiting for? Try here.
