Notes: 

Ben recommends watch "unidentified" and learn the truth about unidentified objects in the world.

Alex recommends to check the app Zwift - an app for cyclers!

Sebastian recommends to schedule "calls" with friends and family. It may feel weird to put your loved ones in your schedule as a task, but it's a great way of getting it done!
