Summary
Jesse invites you to play a game. Look at your last ten transactions and rate them 1 to 3:
- 1 = negative joy (sucked joy out of your life)
- 2 = neutral
- 3 = sparks joy
There's one catch! You can only rate two of those transactions as neutral. Why? Because Jesse said so. Then share your most interesting 1's and 3's with Jesse! Email him at:
