Tasty email updates are here.
Just a quick note, as a few of you guys have told me that emails are not delivering in the Gmail primary inbox and going to promotions tab in your Gmail. I suggest below two pro tips to get my email in your Primary inbox from next time.
- Add my From email address ([email protected]) to your Google Contacts list.
Emails from a your Google Contacts always go to their Primary inbox. So go ahead and add me in your contact list. - Move your emails to the Primary tab.
You can teach Gmail where to deliver your messages. When you move one of my emails from Promotions tab to the Primary tab, Gmail asks whether it should always deliver my emails in your primary inbox. So please do that. You can also read more about these Gmail Help instructions.
Ok. That’s it with the instructions part. Let’s get on with the tasty updates.

An important piece from my recent reads —
A very interesting explanation of the difference between saying “I don’t” compared to “I can’t”…
“I don’t” is experienced as a choice, so it feels empowering. It’s an affirmation of your determination and willpower. “I can’t” isn’t a choice. It’s a restriction, it’s being imposed upon you. So thinking “I can’t” undermines your sense of power and personal agency.
In other words, the phrase “I don’t” is a psychologically empowering way to say no, while the phrase “I can’t” is a psychologically draining way to say no..– Heidi Grant Halvorson (Director of the Motivation Science Center at Columbia University) Read this article for details
Until Next Saturday!
Thanks for reading.
