Hey! 👐

In parallel of ExJewel.io, I’ve been working on many cool side projects like Timelap. It is now bigger than ever with 320 satisfied beta testers, mainly entrepreneurs like yourselves.

💡We all know that life is hard and can get complicated at times: thousands of informations are processed by your tiny brain every hour of every day, between browsing the internet, walking in the streets or even eating. Your 5 senses are deeply triggered. Above that, your personal and professional matters get in the way, all mixed with life changing actions and beliefs you may have done along the day.

🚀 Like billions of people everyday, I struggled with planning my life ahead of time. There are so much things going around that you forget the essentials, what and how you needed to change. So, take a deep breathe like I did at 27. Pausing a bit to understand your actions at a specific time of your life is the key to finding all the solutions to your problems for your future you. A better version of yourself!

With the help of many psychologists and far too many sociological books, I started to understand how people worked, how brain interacted with my body and most importantly, my priorities. So, I created Timelap to help YOU reflect on your current self and evolve to be a better version of yourself. Most importantly, be honest. Don’t feel ashamed. Humans are not perfect so are you.

Understanding your brain is half the gain😉
