🧠 My Secret to Learn Anything!!
and a free oral health guide, a good pizza place, a yummy recipe and more
Hello everyone. My motivation behind Smile Gazette is to create a community of like-minded people who share similar interests. I will be posting one newsletter every month. In each newsletter, I will share useful productivity tips and practical life advice. Together, we will explore the strategies and tools that help us live happier, healthier, and more productive lives. At the time of posting this, we are a family of 137 subscribers.
🎁 How to Learn Anything Effectively?
I have been using the Feynman Technique for quite a while to learn and retain important pieces of information and I think this is actually the best way to remember something new. This specially helped me during my dental college where I would try to teach myself the hard-to-understand concepts by writing down whatever I had studied.
Basically, the technique is about writing down what you have learned as if explaining to someone. This will help you understand, recall and revise the topic better, and it will also help you focus on the shortcomings or the gaps in learning so that you can work on learning them again.

My wife makes the best garlic bread. Crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside. The other day she surprised me with a unique sandwich. She combined the garlic bread with the grilled cheese sandwich batter to make a fusion dish: Grilled Cheese Garlic Bread Sandwich. Thought to include the recipe here for all of you to try and enjoy!

🧬 Lifestyle Design
Lifestyle design is a concept that means designing your life the way you want it to be. In this section I will include different strategies that can help us move towards a healthier, happier and more productive life. Being grateful is one of the most important hacks towards contentment and satisfaction. But today, I would like to talk about other habits and routines that you can develop to improve your quality of life.
You know what's an awesome habit? Reading books! But let's be real, the struggle of buying physical books these days can be a major buzzkill. I've got an incredible offer that'll knock your socks off! I've discovered this epic ebook deal at Noon Gunna, a delightful thrift shop. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Used? Is it still gonna work?" Absolutely! This ebook may have a few miles on it, but it's fully functional and ready to rock your world. This little wonder from KOBO runs on e-ink technology, which means no more strained eyes from marathon reading sessions. It's a win-win for book lovers and anyone looking to dive into the reading world. Available only for Rs. 5000. You can order the ebook on Instagram:
A book that I would recommend is Make Time by Jake Knapp. As is apparent from the title, it is about time management. The book introduces the concept of the "daily highlight," which involves selecting one key task or activity to prioritize each day. By dedicating time and energy to this highlight, you can make significant progress towards your goals and feel a sense of accomplishment. The authors argue that by making deliberate choices about how you spend your time, you can regain control over your schedule and avoid getting caught up in distractions.
How do I manage my schedule?
I use Google Calendar to manage my weekly and monthly activities. And trust me it has changed my life. I usually fill it up on weekends and it is a collection of all the appointments, events, prayer times, dinners, workout times, etc. I have made a template to add almost everything on my calendar. Here’s a sample of how my calendar looks like:
Now I don’t always get to follow my Calendar perfectly. And there are so many days when I sleep late and miss my Kindle reading or many days when I fail to workout and stuff, but this routine helps me know when do I have free time and what options would I have in that particular day. This has greatly increased my productivity and it has been one of the best decisions of my life to organise my life on Google Calendar.

Discover the four things I found particularly useful this month.
Implant Dentistry Course from Hong Kong University (Coursera.org)
I took this course years ago and loved it. They teach you most of all the basics about Implantology and this is a must-do course if you plan to place implants in your practice. The best thing is that this is completely FREE and is self-paced so that you can choose to study in your own timings. They also have improved the course over the years. I know this from my wife who is currently enrolled in this program and she is loving it. You can access the course here: Implant Dentistry Course!
Surprisingly good pizza place in DD Lahore
It’s called “Eatalian Pizza” and there’s only takeaway and delivery option. It is located in DHA Phase 4, DD , next to Subway. The guy taking my order told me the owner is Russian. So a Russian owned Italian food with a Pakistani twist. I tried the Spinach and Mushroom Pizza, the 10-inch serving was for Rs. 1290. For the amount of cheese that they use I would say it is decently priced. It was so cheesy, flavourful and different from the usual pizza that we are used to. I even made a tiktok about it. Watch below the cheesy goodness that is this pizza!!

What is a Woman? - Documentary that I found very interesting
I watched this documentary and found it very interesting. It resonates well with the Islamic perspective and also clearly shows the conspiracy or scheming happening behind the scenes with all this Gender fluidity concept that is being imposed on the world. Great work by @MattWalshBlog and @realDailyWire. It’s the movie they really don’t want you to see: https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/status/1664424891372941312
Beat the summer heat with Baskin Robbins IceCream Shake!
The excruciating heat wave of Lahore Summer made me crave some ice cream the other day. We went to Baskin Robbins. We found that they have introduced some new shakes. I am always up for trying new food. This is one reason why my workouts at gym aren’t paying off that well. Khair, we chose to build our own shake with 31 flavours to choose from. We went with Praline and hot fudge syrup. And boy o’ boy! One of the best shakes I have had in a long time. The quality and taste of the ice cream, milk and the chocolate was amazing. It was pretty expensive though at Rs. 899. Mehangai bohat ho gayi hai!
🦷 Oral Hygiene Advice
We all know the importance of brushing our teeth and using a floss. One very common ignored aspect of oral care is cleaning your tongue. I recommend using a tongue cleaner to everyone, and specially those, who suffer from bad breath. Please find below a complete oral health guide that you need to follow daily in order to maintain a good oral health.

🧵 Fashion and Style
There’s a flat 50% off on Cambridge right now. Love their quality and fit and with Eid around the corner it is a good idea to get yourself some nice clothes. I tried Gomila’s shoes and to my disappointment, didn’t find them comfortable. Pedro would be a much better choice in my opinion if you are planning to get new shoes.
