    Everdell and the New Leaf expansion.

    It’s one of my most frequently chosen games when I visit board game cafes.

    Last week, I purchased the base game and the New Leaf expansion to have it in the house.

    I genuinely enjoy this game. The artwork is excellent. You build a vertical tree as part of the board, which enhances the “immersive” experience. It’s well-suited for 2-3 players.

    The level of complexity is perfectly balanced for me. It offers enough depth and requires strategic thinking. But it's also simple enough that you can easily get back to it after some months, without having to re-read the whole tiles, since a lot of what you need to know is written on the cards.

    Action precedes motivation

    Internet?

    Early to bed, early to raise, work hard and advertise

    This one is either from Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary or biography. And I believe he is quoting an AT&T CEO.

    If you feel like you hate everyone, eat something; If you feel like everyone hates you, go to sleep; If you feel like you hate yourself, have a shower; If you feel like everyone hates everyone, go outside.

    Internet??

    Invert, always invert

    I've been using Macrofactor for a couple of years now to track calories, and it works okay. It's not cheap (~$70 annually), but since it has helped me control my weight, I feel like it's totally worth the money.

    The algorithm uses only my calorie intake and weight variation to calculate my expenditure: https://help.macrofactorapp.com/en/articles/20-expenditure

    As I lose weight, my expenditure goes down, and it automatically adjusts the targets: https://help.macrofactorapp.com/en/articles/222-how-does-macrofactor-make-adjustments-for-a-weight-gain-or-weight-loss-goal

    I tend to overeat during holidays and then spend a lot of time in a slight calorie deficit (~ -200/300 kcal).

    Doing "volume eating" (Google) has helped keeping calories down.
